SCENERY




Set along the Fleurieu coastline, McLaren Vale North offers lush rolling vineyards and hilltop views over the valley and out to the sea. Many wineries are perfectly positioned to showcase the scenery, with picnic areas and seating for guests to enjoy.



WINE




McLaren Vale is now celebrated for both emerging varieties such as Sangiovese and Barbera, as well as classic Shiraz, Grenache, and Cabernet Sauvignon.
