"Recently spent 3 days in McLaren Vale working our way through some cellar doors. Alpha Box & Dice was recommended to us & was hands down the best on our list out of about 10.
Cooper looked after us through a tasting & he was amazing. Took us on a journey through the selection with great knowledge, a lot of love for his job and just an all round easy to chat to guy.
We will be back 🫶"

"Our favourite winery in the region and this visit maintained the high standards we have come to expect from this fun winery. The tasting room here is such a vibe, or server was incredibly knowledgeable and the wines here are so interesting and delicious it really is a world class experience. All served with light snacks we left with a bunch of bottles, big smiles, and rosy cheeks 😉"
Chris Price (Pricey)
"Excellent wine tasting experience. The staff are very informed about their wines. The cellar door is lovely and so are the surrounding vineyards. You’re looking at $20 for a tasting of 7 wines which cover a range of wine profiles and palate preferences. A complimentary plate of olives and bread is also served."
