We’ve got a little excited about Grenache & Gourmet this year 🍷

From 18 September to 5 October, McLaren Vale comes alive with 18 days of Grenache, great food and special experiences across the region.

Our weekends are already mostly booked, but we still have some midweek availability Monday–Thursday... perfect for making a few days of it.

🍷 10% off direct bookings
🏡 2-night minimum
📍 Stay in the heart of McLaren Vale

Long lunches, cellar doors, wine experiences, and plenty of Grenache. Sounds like a pretty good midweek escape to us.

Thanks to the McLaren Vale Wine Region for organizing another amazing program.

Book direct at Vale 194.

MICHELIN is coming to South Australia

For the first time, an Australian destination will feature in the MICHELIN Guide, with the inaugural MICHELIN Guide South Australia 2027 selection being revealed on 14 October.

How exciting is this for South Australia, and particularly for food and wine regions like McLaren Vale and the Fleurieu Peninsula?

We’re already wondering which local restaurants might be included. And perhaps now is the perfect time to come to McLaren Vale, stay a few days and experience as many of our wonderful local dining venues as you can, before the world finds out.
