Sipping and Savouring Your Way Through Langhorne Creek’s Wineries and Breweries
Ah, Langhorne Creek—a place where wine flows as freely as the stories told over a glass... or two. This little gem of a wine region has something for everyone, whether you're a wine enthusiast, a casual sipper, an art lover, or someone just on the hunt for a relaxed good time with loved ones. Pull up a chair, pour yourself a drink, and let's chat about some of the standout wineries and breweries in this slice of paradise you absolutely need to know about.
Windsong Wines: Where Art Meets Viticulture
First up, Windsong Wines. This isn't just a winery; it's a celebration of creativity and eco-conscious living. They specialise in small-batch estate-grown wines that come with character and a distinct Langhorne Creek personality. Tempranillo, Prosecco, Savagnin, and even Sparkling Rosé—they’ve got them all on offer. But here’s what makes Windsong extra special: their cellar door doubles as an art gallery and literary hub. Every couple of months, they switch up the featured local artist or author, so every visit feels like discovering a new treasure.
Oh, and they’re big on loving Mother Nature. Their eco-vineyard practices work to give back to the land as much as they take. Think biodiversity, native flora, and fewer chemicals. If you're someone who loves sipping wine with a side of sustainability and creativity, you’ll feel right at home here.
Little Pete Brewing: Laid-Back with a Lager Vibe
Feeling like swapping the wine glass for a chilled beer mug? Then you’ve got to visit Little Pete Brewing. This place is like an open invitation to unwind. Think open-air bar vibes, lawn chairs under umbrellas, and a beer list that's bound to make any craft brew lover smile. From Hazy Pale Ales to Stouts and everything in between, there’s something here for every brew-taste bud.
If you're more of a wine drinker tagging along, don’t worry—they’ve got local wines on the menu too. Want to nibble on something while soaking up the chilled atmosphere? Grab a build-your-own platter featuring Fleurieu region produce. Oh, and it’s totally family-friendly, so bring the kids and even your fur babies (on a leash, of course).
Kimbolton Wines: Winemaking Meets Modern Elegance
For a winery that screams modern style without losing its family-run charm, Kimbolton Wines is top-tier. Their architecturally designed cellar door is an experience in itself, with panoramic views that'll have you snapping pics before you’ve even sipped your Montepulciano or Fiano. These guys are known for crafting alternative grape varieties, and their wine and cheese pairing flights will have you rethinking everything you thought you knew about food and drink combos.
It’s a small, intimate space with a focus on personalised experiences, so whether you’re just dropping by or booking in for a private tasting, you’ll feel like a VIP from the get-go.
Angas Plains Wines: Warm Hospitality in Every Pour
Sometimes a trip to a winery is as much about the people as it is about the Pinot. That’s where Angas Plains Wines shines. It’s family-run and radiates warmth and good vibes. Their Shiraz and Chardonnay are crowd favourites, but it’s the whole package—great wines, seasonal local produce for pairing, and even live music events—that keeps people coming back.
Got a lazy weekend planned? Make this your go-to stop. You’ll enjoy wines with a side of heartfelt hospitality, and who doesn’t love that?
Little Bit of Everything at The Winehouse
For those who want a mix of everything Langhorne Creek has to offer, The Winehouse is your one-stop destination. With multiple boutique wineries featured under one roof, you’re spoiled for choice. Fancy something other than wine? They’ve thought of that too with small-batch craft beers on hand.
It’s a relaxed, social kind of space that pairs perfectly with their restaurant’s dishes. Great wine, tasty food, good company—is there really anything better?
Bleasdale Vineyards: History in a Glass
For a touch of the traditional, head over to Bleasdale Vineyards. This iconic spot is packed with history, being one of the oldest wineries in the region. Their Shiraz, Malbec, and Cabernet Sauvignon have earned their place in wine lovers’ hearts—and that’s not even diving into their unique fortifieds and sparkling reds.
The highlight here? The guided tours. If you’re even slightly curious about winemaking, these tours turn an ordinary tasting into a story-rich journey through Langhorne Creek’s past.
Meechi Brewing Company: For the Love of Local Brews
Rounding things off is the Meechi Brewing Company. While Langhorne Creek is mostly known for wines, Meechi offers a refreshing alternative for the beer aficionados out there. Grab a pint of their Pale Ale or IPA, soak up the rustic vibes, and revel in their regional twist on craft brewing. It’s perfect for when you’re craving something crisp and different. Bonus points for keeping things local and simple.
Final Thoughts
Wandering (and sipping) through Langhorne Creek is like finding a community of passionate people pouring their love for quality, sustainability, and creativity into every bottle, keg, or dish. Whether you’re craving complex reds, refreshing craft beers, rich cultural experiences, or just a relaxing spot to kick back with friends and family—you’ll find your perfect vibe here.
Cheers to making memories, one fabulous sip at a time. Until next time,
Cheers, Candeece
