Langhorne Creek is one of Australia’s oldest and most significant wine regions of Southeast of Adelaide. The area was founded on the broad flood plain – Bremer and Angas Rivers. The vineyards of the Langhorne Creek Region total approximately 6,500 hectares, making it Australia’s largest cool climate premium wine grape growing region. Strong in full bodied Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz, this is red wine country!
Begin your adventure at the iconic Bleasdale Vineyards, a National Trust listed winery boasting a piece of winemaking history. Marvel at their enormous red gum basket press, a testament to Frank Potts' ingenuity and innovation in winemaking. Dating back to 1862, this monumental press, crafted from a ten-meter, 3.5-tonne red gum tree, revolutionized grape pressing techniques with its lever mechanism, inspired by Frank's observations in Portugal. Experience firsthand the slower, more delicate pressing process that yields exceptional wines without mechanical intervention.

If time permits, a visit to Vineyard Road Winery awaits, where you can indulge your sweet tooth at the Fleurieu Chocolate Company. Treat yourself to decadent chocolates, perfectly complementing the rich flavours of the region's wines.
