About the Region

Langhorne Creek is a dynamic habitat where flowing rivers and creeks reach into vital lake systems and the pristine Southern Ocean. Known as 'the Creek' to locals, is an easy 55-minute drive south-east of Adelaide to the eastern Fleurieu Peninsula. Hero varieties have long been the classic reds, Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz, both as soloists and in the famous Australian red blend of the two.

Home to the traditional Ngarrindjeri nation. Where a thriving agricultural community of established families, progressive businesses and new generation artisans create highly rewarded wines, grow quality fruit for discerning producers, and nurture prized livestock and a range of sought-after farm produce.
