Just 40 minutes south of Adelaide, McLaren Vale boasts a spectacular mix of the old and the new set in a lush coastal location. Whether it is the wine styles, the vineyards or the cellar doors, you will find McLaren Vales blend of tradition and innovation to be unforgettable.

Resting along the rugged coastline of the Fleurieu Peninsula, the hilltop views of McLaren Vale extend over the valley and right to sea. Verdant, rolling vines fill the landscape as you travel to wineries which offer spectacular vistas and even better wines.

Continuing to blend old and new, McLaren Vale is renowned as much for its traditional wines as it is for its newer styles. With newer styles like Sangiovese and Barbera nestled amongst the more traditional Shiraz, Grenache, and Cabernet Sauvignon, there is sure to be something for everyone in the beautiful McLaren Vale.

McLaren Vale boasts a variety of fine and varied food options to satisfy every taste and budget. You can find gorgeous and tasty platters of local produce or fine dining, or make a stop at any one of the many bakeries or cafes in the McLaren Vale Township. You can even pack a picnic and sit on the hilltop at Kay Brothers and soak in the serenity.
