McLaren Vale has the warmth and feel of a country town, with the distinct advantage of being 40 minutes from South Australia’s Capital city, Adelaide.

McLaren Vale is one of Australia’s renowned wine regions, famous for producing some the best wines in the world, and with over 76 cellar doors. The region is thriving, and the energy and passion of the local community is infectious.

The region’s artisans are passionate about the food, wine and culture of the area, and this is evidenced in the genuine hospitality offered by McLaren Vale’s tourism operators.

The area is only minutes away from the stunning coastline and beaches that influence so much of our lifestyle, culture and primary production. Our neighbouring townships – Willunga, Aldinga, Port Noarlunga offer visitors a unique experience rich in history, artisan craftsmanship and culture.

However, it is the hospitality we are most proud of.

Stay in the region and wake to one of the best breakfasts, watching the grapes ripen or the waves roll in. Emmerse yourself in the art and history of the region, and learn how produce that is locally grown and crafted,is some of the best in the world.

Locals will tell you the secret places to visit, the best trails or galleries, or the best coffee.

We are happy to share the bounty and welcome you to explore McLaren Vale.

"It is an ideal spot, and the ideal liquid inspiration, to try to figure out a way to live near this tiny piece of paradise between the voluptuous hills of wine
and the aquamarine sea."

from "The Wine Roads of Australia" by Susan Gough Henly
