  3. James Bailey Bassett and his wife opened Willunga's first private school at Buckland House in 1847, and by 1862 had added a purpose-built schoolroom next door. Two buildings, one family, and forty years of teaching that outlasted them both.

  5. A block on Aldinga's Old Coach Road passed from the family who founded the township to three generations of blacksmiths — the Pengillys, then John Noah Crisp — who kept the district's horses shod and its coaches built for the best part of a century.

  6. James Beith Wilson's first shelter at McLaren Flat was the hollow trunk of a gum tree, and family memory held that he lived in it for three months. He'd arrived from Scotland in 1839 with his wife Marion and six children. The homestead the Wilsons built there, Hillside, lent its name to the district for the better part of a century — to a cricket team, a football club, and a rise of hill country that outlasted the family's own hold on it.

  8. The winery that stood on Wheatsheaf Road at Morphett Vale had a history that stretched back nearly a century before the buildings came down in 1989. It had begun not as a winery at all but as a London importing house — built by a Scottish vigneron from Magill, that put an emu on its label in 1883.

  10. Dr Kelly and the Tintara Vineyard Company

    Before Thomas Hardy made Tintara a household name, the winery was a Scottish physician's ambitious gamble — seven hundred acres of McLaren Vale scrub, backed by the colony's wealthiest men, and doomed by a market that wasn't ready.

  11. Gloucester and Bellevue

    Before McLaren Vale had a name, two separate townships occupied the same stretch of road — Gloucester at the southern end, Bellevue to the north. The man who opened Gloucester's first hotel died before the day was out. The man who laid out Bellevue's streets died the following year. What they built became one of Australia's most celebrated w…

  12. Light Wines was founded by Lloyd Light at Chandlers Hill in 1969. Designed by Doug Collett, it was one of Australia’s most modern wineries, able to handle 750 tonnes with just one operator.

    In 1983 it was renamed Coolawin Estate, with Brian Light taking over as winemaker. The 5000-tonne site later became part of Norman’s Wines, then Xanadu, then Fleurieu Vintners — and today is owned by Watkins Wines.

  13. Surprisingly foggy this morning. Just the 4 of us (including my dad) on the ride to McLaren Vale. Cool with a touch of misty rain but cleared up a bit for the ride back home. #MudSweatAndGears #Adelaide #MclarenVale

  14. Another night, another aged McLaren Vale Shiraz. I recall this 2010 Warboys being quite tannic on release, but this was broad and supple, with lots of vanilla framing blueberry and boysenberry fruit. Plenty of runway left…
