McLaren Vale Self-Guided Tour

McLaren Vale Self-Guided Tour

We’ve done the work for you and plotted a self-guided tour of SALA exhibitions from through the acclaimed wine region of McLaren Vale.

The Kaurna People are the traditional owners of the land in what is now known as the City of Onkaparinga, and we acknowledge and respect their continuing connection to the land and waters.

Try this route on any Saturday in August 2024.
