Go on one of their Cheese and Wine trails. The Cheese and Wine trail provides you with a cooler-bag of cheeses and instructions on which wines to taste whilst trying the cheese. A wonderful experience for those who are wanting to become more familiar with the wineries in the region.
A five-level Rubik's Cube plopped atop a hill, the d'Arenberg Cube is McLaren Vale's signature building, hosting a tasting room and the bizarre Alternate Realities Museum. The highlight here is the Salvador Dali exhibition scheduled to run until 2028 ($10 extra), featuring 24 works by the Surrealist maestro. D'Arrys restaurant, next door, is also well regarded.
A reasonably new national park with several mountain bike trails.
This beach has both your classic expanse of sand as well as the remnants of a jetty and crumbling cliff face dotted with manmade caves once used to store boats. Plenty of interesting bits and bobs like shark eggs to be found in the rock pools at low tide. The Star of Greece clipper was wrecked nearby in 1888 and the wreck is easily accessible to scuba divers.
