Discover South Australia’s Wine Regions

Ever imagined tasting the world’s best wine? You can do just that in the heart of the Barossa Valley. Explore over 80 cellar doors, enjoy local produce and sample award-winning wines from some of the oldest vines on the planet, only an hour from Adelaide. For decades, the Barossa has wowed red wine lovers with its legendary shiraz—smooth, full-bodied and spiced just right. No wonder wine critic Jancis Robinson dubbed it "Australia's quintessential wine region”. It’s the go-to spot for iconic cellar doors like Seppeltsfield Estate, Hentley Farm and Yalumba.

If you’ve ever daydreamed about biking through a landscape of old stone buildings, majestic gum trees and rolling green vineyards while sipping wine, then guess what? That fantasy is a reality in Clare Valley. Hop on the fun 35 kilometre cycle trail that winds through this picturesque countryside and charming cellar doors like Pikes Wines, Paulett Wines and Sevenhill Cellars. As Australia’s riesling capital, Clare Valley is not only known for its world-class wines but also its rich history—the region’s winemaking heritage stretches back over 160 years. 

The gold medal for Australia’s most surprising wine region goes to (drumroll please): Kangaroo Island! Here, unspoiled beaches, desert dunes and abundant wildlife meet remote, untamed vineyards. It creates a unique blend of boutique cellar doors and experimental drops. This relatively new Australian wine region, separated from mainland South Australia by a 15km stretch of ocean, is the perfect spot to unwind. Visit False Cape Wines to see how they made a cellar door out of recycled materials, or catch one of the most breathtaking views on the island when you visit Dudley Wines – a cellar door perched atop cliffs with a view out to the mainland.  

With vines stretching from the sprawling banks of the Murray River to the edges of the Outback, the Riverland is the largest grape growing region in South Australia. Fed by the Murray River, the Riverland produces some 460,000 tonnes of grapes and more than 85 varietals, making it an integral part of the South Australian wine industry. Here, you'll find more than 12 cellar doors, including Banrock Station, Angove Family Winemakers, 919 Wines, Whistling Kite and Salena Estate.

Welcome to South Australia’s red centre: the Coonawarra. That crimson hue doesn’t just hint at bold red wines but also at the famed terra rosa soil that’s put this region on the map. Imagine intimate tastings, a vibrant calendar of events and festivals and over 25 cellar doors spread across a compact 20km stretch of the Limestone Coast. It’s the perfect place among South Australia’s wine regions to kick back and enjoy a world-class cabernet sauvignon or shiraz at passionate cellar doors like Wynns Coonawarra Estate, Bellwether Wines and Ottelia.
