D'Arenberg, McLaren Vale |

Just south of Adelaide, the Fleurieu Peninsula is an ideal day trip and holiday destination. The McLaren Vale winemaking region is beautifully located between hills and the sea 40 minutes south of Adelaide and its beaches stretch all the way south to Cape Jervis. To the south east are the Murray Mouth and Hindmarsh Island, to the east sloping hillsides and picturesque country towns.
In 1802, Matthew Flinders met the French sailor Nicholas Baudin who was also navigating the waters off the mouth of the Murray River. Baudin named this region after the French wanderer Charles Pierre Claret, Comte de Fleurieu. Because of its landscape and pure light, the Fleurieu is home to many artists and crafts people who exhibit their works in many local galleries and weekend markets. There is something for everyone in this compact and diverse region.
-Catch a horse drawn tram to see a colony of fairy penguins
-Watch whales, seals, dolphins, sea lions and penguins from the coast

-Indulge in some local produce including yabbies, venison and crayfish
