McLaren Vale’s SummerVines returns from 16–26 January 2026, inviting visitors to celebrate summer in South Australia’s favourite coastal wine region. Just 45 minutes from Adelaide, the eleven-day festival brings together bright, contemporary wines, exceptional Fleurieu Peninsula produce, and the relaxed coastal lifestyle the region is known for.
Across cellar doors, vineyards, and dining spaces, SummerVines offers a diverse program of experiences — from long lunches and paired tastings to vineyard tours, masterclasses, sunset sessions, and live music under wide summer skies. At the heart of it all are McLaren Vale’s world-class wines, from vibrant Fiano and crisp Rosé to elegant Grenache shaped by the region’s Mediterranean-like climate, alongside fresh, modern expressions of Shiraz.
The festival also coincides with the Santos Tour Down Under and RADL GRVL cycling events, making it the perfect time to explore the region’s food, wine, and scenery. Whether you’re planning a day trip, a long weekend, or a full summer escape, SummerVines offers an irresistible reason to soak up the season — McLaren Vale style.
