| Address | Langhorne Creek
South Australia, Australia |
Langhorne Creek is one the fastest growing wine regions in Australia.
Vineyards sprawl in all directions on the river's floodplains. As the area is low lying, the roads are sometimes under water when the Bremer River is in winter flood. Flood level indicators along the roadside are marked to show the depth of water flowing across the road. An interesting feature of Langhorne Creek's many vineyards is their use of this natural flooding as a means of vineyard irrigation.
Taste the robust local red wines, a feature at several winery cellar doors. A restaurant and bed and breakfast accommodation is available.
Langhorne Creek hosts an annual jazz festival, where you can indulge in a great combination of Langhorne Creek wines, gourmet food, music and horse racing.
Located 69 kilometres south-east of Adelaide, Langhorne Creek was named after Alfred Langhorne, who drove cattle overland from Sydney in 1841, and used land in the district.
See more of the Fleurieu Peninsula – a coastal playground famed for its laidback lifestyle, beach breaks for surfers of all levels of experience, and top fishing spots. It's a paradise for divers and snorkellers, with dramatic shipwrecks and stunning marine life, including the famed Leafy Seadragon.
Enjoy some of the best produce and vineyards in Australia. The Fleurieu Peninsula is home to some prestigious winemaking regions, including McLaren Vale. The history of winemaking in this region goes all the way back to 1842, and it consistently produces some of the best drops you'll ever taste.
There's also national parks, golf courses, top quality cuisine and more.
