In the heart of one of Australia's oldest and most acclaimed wine regions, just a 45-minute drive south of Adelaide, Mclaren Vale is a food and lover's dream, with over 80 vineyards and incredible culinary offerings around every corner. Sandwiched between the rolling Mount Lofty Ranges and Gulf St Vincent beaches, Mclaren Vale is a pastoral paradise on the doorstep of the Fleurieu Peninsula's stunning coastline and sandy beaches. Active travellers can enjoy breathtaking views of wineries, farms, gum trees, and the ocean along the 9km Shiraz Trail. At the d'Arenberg winery, admire The Cube, an avant-garde structure fashioned after an unfinished Rubik's Cube, complete with a 'Museum of Alternate Realities' and a top-floor tasting room. The Red Poles Gallery represents local First Nations artists and musicians and hosts workshops and events.
