McLaren Vale

McLaren Vale is a premier wine growing area that is a mere 30 km from the centre of Adelaide, but it seems like a million miles from a capital city. As visitors will soon discover, McLaren Vale has got the character and atmosphere of a charming country village, surrounded by hills, the coastal plain and the warm waters of the Gulf St. Vincent. Well in excess of 75 wineries offer cellar doors, welcoming wine connoisseurs as well as the eager novice eager to taste some of the quality drops the region is famous for. McLaren Vale is place where artists and artisans are at work; the locals have a genuine passion for food, wine and culture. The area is an excellent gateway for the whole of the magical Fleurieu Peninsula, which is quite often compared with the Provence region of France or the Tuscany region in Italy.
