A few of our Favourite Things to Do.
Beach Days: As one of South Australia's exclusive drive-on beaches, you can take your vehicle directly onto the sand at Aldinga and Silver Sands Beach. Pack a premium grazing platter and a chilled bottle of McLaren Vale Fiano, and spend a seamless day by the water. For adventure seekers, Port Willunga beach is popular for surfing and stand-up paddle-boarding.
Wander: Visit the bustling Willunga Farmers Market on a Saturday morning for fresh local produce. Stroll along the main streets of McLaren Vale and Willunga - voted #1 Food + Wine Town in Australia by Australian Traveller (2026), or wander along local walking trails.
Explore, Taste + Enjoy: Indulge in long lunches at the iconic Star of Greece in Port Willunga, followed by private tastings at award winning McLaren Vale cellar doors (like Hugh Hamilton or d'Arenberg), finishing with gin flights at local artisan distilleries (like Never Never or Ginny Pig).
At your leisure, we invite you to explore the McLaren Vale and Fleurieu regions + plan your stay.
