Wine lovers, foodies, and campers will find their paradise in McLaren Vale.
Little more than a half-hour drive from Adelaide, the small town of McLaren Vale is the gateway to the wine region of the same name. If you’ve come to McLaren Vale, wine tasting is likely top of your to-do list, and with century-old vineyards and more than 80 cellar doors to discover, wine lovers will be in their element. Once you’ve sipped the famous Shiraz and sampled the region’s long-established foodie scene, it’s time to explore the great outdoors, and you’ll find beautiful beaches, vineyard cycling trails, and epic coastal hikes along the surrounding Fleurieu Peninsula. Campers will be spoiled for choice, too. McLaren Vale has everything from family-friendly holiday parks with ample space for motorhomes and caravans to luxury glampsites with a view of the vineyards, simple bush camping at Onkaparinga River National Park, and rural Hipcamps within easy reach of the city.
