Kangaroo Island Wine Region

Kangaroo Island has it all… One of Australia’s most spectacular and pristine environments – and with superb gourmet food and wine to match.

Local producers have been fiercely protective of the clean, green character of the island and for good reason. Today they produce a stunning array of foods, from high quality dairy products, pure honey, some of the finest seafood and of course, world class wines.

Kangaroo Island is one of South Australia’s newest wine regions with 30 growers and more than 200 hectares of vines. There are at least 18 different labels on offer, with most readily available in cafes and restaurants throughout the island, while some, like Dudley Wines are also to be found on the mainland. A number have succeeded in export markets such as the UK, USA and Europe, as well as Asia.

“If it isn’t enough that Kangaroo Island is developing a reputation for free-range chooks, marron and a whole range of cheeses and other produce, now they have to make great wine!”*
