The Peninsula's Pillars

McLaren Vale
South Australia's flagship premium wine region, a patchwork of over 80 cellar doors set between the Mount Lofty Ranges and the Gulf St Vincent coastline.
Aldinga & Port Willunga
Golden limestone cliffs, the haunting remains of the Star of Greece jetty, and long drivable beaches where the McLaren Vale vines meet the sea.
Victor Harbor
The maritime heart of the south coast - home to southern right whales, Granite Island, the iconic horse-drawn tram and the Encounter Coast.
The Heritage
