Visiting a cellar door with the kids in tow is strongly encouraged across the McLaren Vale and Fleurieu Coast (cheers to that!). They are waiting to welcome you with their warm hospitality and love the energy and vibe that kids bring.
Choose your own adventure. Think a maze, playgrounds, lawn games, hill rolling, animal feeding, mini golf, treasure hunts, toys, and more.
Here’s our favourite kid-friendly cellar doors along with what the kids can get up to:
