Achievements
The Shiraz Trail
This walking, horse riding and cycling trail is being developed in conjunction with the Coast to Vines Rail Trail, and it is a celebration of the grape that firmly established McLaren Vale’s reputation as a premium grapegrowing and wine making region. It follows the old railway line from McLaren Vale to Willunga, taking in spectacular views of vineyards, the Willunga ranges and the coast.
Vintage and Classic Day
Each April sees several hundred vintage and classic cars parading through McLaren Vale in a spectacular display of motoring history. At the conclusion of the parade the cars head off to local winery cellar doors, usually spending several hours being admired by appreciative winery patrons.

These annual awards recognise excellence in business, customer service and the environment within the local area.
