Langhorne Creek is looking fine at this time of year…🍁🍷

The vines still have some autumn colour, the air is crisp, and the cellar doors are cosy. It’s the perfect time to take a leisurely tour and sample some of the region’s top drops.

Want an extra-special way to take it all in without worrying about the driving? Book a Carriage of Occasion horse-drawn carriage wine tour or long lunch tour.

Choose three Langhorne Creek Wine Region cellar doors to visit, then settle in and enjoy wide open vineyard views, peaceful country roads and cosy wine tastings.

Extend your visit with lunch or dinner at the historic Bridge Hotel Langhorne Creek.

Winter weekends are made for kicking back by the fire with your favourites over a hearty pub feed.

So, round up the crew and hit the road this weekend for a cosy long lunch.

Think hearty meals, crackling fires, country hospitality and laidback afternoons with some seriously impressive river views.

For riverside dining, you can’t go past the Swan Reach Hotel, Pretoria Hotel Mannum, Bridgeport Hotel, and The Welly Hotel.

History more your thing? The Truro Hotel, Palmer Hotel and Bridge Hotel Langhorne Creek are worth the trip.

And for a real country welcome, the Meningie Hotel, Coonalpyn Hotel and Lameroo Hotel Motel are the places to be.

Whether you're chasing a scenic drive, a warming meal or simply an excuse to escape the city for the day, a winter pub lunch is always a winner. 🍷🔥

Misty mornings, glassy waters and starry nights – winter hits different on the Murray.

There’s no better way to embrace it than by stepping aboard the historic PS Marion for a winter weekend escape.

Built in 1897 and lovingly restored by volunteers, the wood-fired paddle steamer offers an unforgettable heritage journey complete with cosy cabins, hearty meals, and warm hospitality.

Wake to the rhythm of the paddlewheel, cruise past serene wetlands, and wonder at our spectacular star-filled skies.

Rise and dine… country style 🌿

Ditch the toast and cereal for breakfast with a wild side. Think native flavours, riverside views, and stories that are as rich as your morning brew.

At the Bush Tucker Breakfast with Big Bend By Night, you’ll taste your way through Australia’s pantry (yes, it’s as good as it sounds), all while soaking up some magic Murray River views.

It’s a little bit fancy, a little bit adventurous, and a whole lot delicious.

👉 Book your spot here: https://bit.ly/49BcZBO

Come hungry. Leave inspired (and very well fed).

The cooler weather has arrived and the Milky Way is shining brighter than ever. 🌟

There’s no better time to experience Australia’s very first International Dark Sky Reserve, right here in our region. And what better way to connect with nature beneath some of the clearest night skies in the world than with Fridays By The Fire 🔥

This unforgettable winter experience combines stargazing, firelight, delicious food, and genuine relaxed country hospitality.
As the sun sets, gather around the bonfire, enjoy an authentic Australian BBQ, sip something warm, listen to music, and immersive yourself in an astronomy session beneath the Milky Way.

If you’ve been considering the Gold Stars Sunset Tour, but weren’t sure what to do with the kids - this experience is perfect for you. It brings together astronomy and nature in a more family-friendly setting, complete with an Aussie BBQ, campfire, and toasted s’mores by the fire.

A truly unique winter experience for all ages.
