Langhorne Creek

78 kilometres from Adelaide 

In Langhorne Creek, wine runs deeper than the soil. This is a place where fifth-generation families tend to the oldest recorded Cabernet Sauvignon vines in the world, and where age-old traditions meet a spirit of quiet rebellion. You can taste it in the bold reds, crafted from flood-fed soils, and in the way cellar doors invite you in like an old friend.

But Langhorne Creek isn’t just about heritage — it’s about heart. It’s one of Australia’s most awarded red wine regions, where makers aren’t afraid to experiment, to push the rules and redefine what wine can be. From just four wineries a decade ago to more than 18 today, the town has evolved into a dynamic hub of winemaking and hospitality.

Here, accessibility is woven into the experience too. At Kimbolton Wines, one of South Australia’s most accessible cellar doors, everyone is welcome to enjoy rooftop views, family-friendly spaces and award-winning wines in a setting built for connection.

And each November, the vines come alive with music as the Handpicked Festival transforms Lake Breeze Wines into one of the most unforgettable live music venues in the state — a celebration of sound, soil and summer.

Langhorne Creek is one of those rare places that feels both deeply rooted and refreshingly new. A place that invites you to slow down, sip generously, and uncover stories written in the vines.
