McLaren Vale West District

The McLaren Vale West District in the McLaren Vale Region includes wineries near the townships of Aldinga, Moana, Willung and Maslins Beach, west of McLaren Vale. Most of the vineyards and wineries lie inland from Maslin Beach and Aldinga. Maslins Beach is a coastal town in the local government area of the City of Onkaparinga, and adjoins the suburbs Moana, Port Willunga, and McLaren Vale. The southern half of Maslin Beach is well known as one of Australia's first officially declared nude beach (in 1975). The scenic cliff-lined beach is about 3km long , and so the area reserved for nude bathing is well away from other beach users. The delightful Gulf St Vincent beachfront at the coastal community of nearby Moana features sand dunes, low cliffs and hard compacted sand that is popular for fishing, swimming, canoeing and kayaking. The beach at Moana is unique as it is one of very few beaches in South Australia where visitors can drive their cars directly on the beach. Many visitors take advantage of the hard sand to take their 4WDs and normal passenger vehicles out onto the beach.

The McLaren Vale Wine Region includes 15 districts : McLaren Vale North ; McLaren Vale East ; Chalk Hill ; Froggo ; McLaren Flat South ; Willunga NE ; Ingoldby ; McLaren Vale West ; Aldinga ; Willunga South ; Blewitt Springs ; Noarlunga ; Reynella East ; Happy Valley

Dowie Doole, SA  Cnr of McMurtrie and Main Roads McLaren Vale SA 5171
A bottle of good wine can help solve many problems.

Seeing their grapes being trucked away to other wineries and frustrated at not being in control of their fruit from that point, the two opened a...
