Make a day of it. Stay for the weekend.
Just over an hour south of Adelaide lies the Fleurieu Peninsula, a region brimming with wild beauty, award-winning wine and warm hospitality. Build your visit around a cooking class with us and the rest of the Peninsula will fill itself in: cellar doors, beaches, native walks, a distillery or two, and producers who name every farm on the label.
A region made for discovery.
Rolling vineyards, dramatic cliffs, pristine beaches and charming townships bursting with local flavour. Most of our guests join us for a class, then choose to explore more of what makes the Fleurieu special. Use this page to pair your class with everything else.

Planning your Fleurieu day
What are the best things to do on the Fleurieu Peninsula?
The Fleurieu Peninsula is known for beaches, wineries, coastal towns and national parks. If you want bookable experiences, guests most often choose hands-on cooking classes, food and wine events, and a long lunch at one of the cellar doors.
Is the Fleurieu Peninsula a good stop on the way to Kangaroo Island?
Yes. Many travellers stop on the Fleurieu Peninsula before catching the ferry from Cape Jervis. Booking a cooking class turns the drive into part of the holiday.
What should I do if I only have a few hours before or after the ferry?
Choose an experience you can book in advance. Cooking classes are weather-friendly and easy to plan. They start and finish on time and you leave with what you have made.
What is a great foodie experience to book on the Fleurieu?
Hands-on cooking classes such as pasta, cheese making, fire cooking and seasonal food and wine events are ideal for visitors. For a slower pace, gourmet picnics and tasting-style experiences pair beautifully with a venue visit.
