Now you can take the McGregor Wine Meander home in a box! Well the best part of it anyway…  

Spring has sprung, our wildflowers and vygies add splashes of vibrant colour to roadsides and reserves. Summer is not far behind, and the festive season beckons…

We look forward to meeting more wine lovers and visitors, both old friends and new, as they experience our Meander, whether choosing to start at the top end (Lord’s Wines) or at the Robertson end (Tanagra Wines and Distillery) or somewhere in the middle…
