LOVE Langhorne Creek brings wine, produce and more to Marino
From cellar-door discoveries and fresh local produce to long lunches and laid-back country drives, Langhorne Creek is serving up plenty of reasons to make the most of summer. First up, the region is bringing a taste of its best to Adelaide’s southern suburbs.
Summer is made for getting out of the city, discovering somewhere new and finding an excuse to linger a little longer over good food and wine. Less than an hour from Adelaide, Langhorne Creek offers all three – with a thriving community of winemakers, growers and makers giving visitors plenty to explore.
Known for its award-winning wines, the South Australian wine region has much more to offer than what’s poured at the cellar door. Almonds, fresh flowers, seasonal vegetables, pasture-raised eggs and the much-loved Newman’s Horseradish range are all part of its diverse local offering.
And if Langhorne Creek has been sitting on your list of places to visit, there’s an opportunity to get acquainted a little closer to home.
On Saturday, November 21, the inaugural LOVE Langhorne Creek event will bring the region’s winemakers and producers to Marino Community Hall for an afternoon celebrating local wine, food and the people behind the products.
Running from 4pm to 8pm, the event is designed to give Adelaide locals a taste of the region – and a little inspiration for a summer escape.
A region worth raising a glass to
Set between the Adelaide Hills and Lake Alexandrina, Langhorne Creek has earned its place on South Australia’s wine map, with a long agricultural history and a distinctive regional character.

Its wineries are a natural starting point for a visit, whether you’re keen to explore the region’s celebrated reds, discover a crisp white or find something sparkling to open over the festive season.
But there’s plenty to discover beyond the vineyards, too.
The surrounding agricultural community produces a diverse range of goods, making a trip to Langhorne Creek as much about food and local flavours as it is about wine. Roadside stalls, fresh produce and opportunities to meet the people behind the region’s products add another dimension to a day out.
It’s the sort of destination that rewards a slower pace: spend the morning exploring cellar doors, stop for a long lunch, pick up something local to take home and enjoy the drive through the surrounding countryside.
For those who prefer to plan their adventures around what’s on the menu, the region’s mix of wine and produce offers plenty of opportunities to build a summer itinerary around good food and drink.
