The Beautiful Fleurieu



South Australia, AustraliaHere I will be unashamedly promoting ALL Fleurieu so that everybody can indulge themselves with me in the beautiful rolling hills, vineyards, coastline and wonderful restaurants of McLaren Vale and its surrounds.  Enjoy with me.

Each week I will try and highlight one winery / business / area to see - so that you too can share in the delights of this beautiful area.

Please share with me and let me know your priorities and likes.

McLaren Vale is just one town in the area, but is also the most well known town on the Fleurieu.  It is close to beaches and rolling hills and only 30 -45 minutes from the capital of South Australia - Adelaide.

Weather is slightly Mediterranean
It has an area of 1.506 sq miles (3.9 square km)

There are over 70 Cellar Doors,  far too many to visit in a day so you can stay in one of the very many Bed and Breakfasts that scatter the landscape.  We have too very popular B & B's across the road from us and one up a little further,

Each week I will try and highlight a business or area to entice you to visit this beautiful area.  Also I will try to keep a more detailed calender.
