WHERE TO STAY

Despite its tourism credentials, McLaren Vale is a little light on hotel options. Watch this space though, because Wirra Wirra has an exciting project in the pipeline. Plans are approved for a high-end, 22-room resort to be delivered in partnership with Adelaide-based property development company, Greaton. The resort is slated for a 2023 launch. In the meantime, luxury can be found via numerous bed-and-breakfast style stays, or cottage and homestead retreats. Our pick? The Coach House at Hillenvale, a spacious and beautifully designed one-bedroom cottage with every last detail stylishly considered. hillenvale.com
