Fleurieu Peninsula is a wonderful blend of beautiful countryside and dramatic coastline housing some of Australia's historic McLaren Vale wineries. The wines taste magical and are said to rival those from Barossa Valley. Among the green hills bounded by clifftops are the beaches and bays. You can enjoy recreational water sports along with whale watching. Fleurieu Peninsula offers spectacular natural scenery, isolated beaches, exceptional food and wine in the 50 plus cellar doors and wineries and close encounters with native wildlife. Fleurieu Peninsula is only 45 minutes away from Adelaide. You can combine you trip to the Peninsula with a trip to Kangaroo Island as they are only separated by a ferry ride.
