Come for the Airshow - Stay a While
Join us for an unforgettable experience at the 2024 Aldinga Airshow, and extend your stay in the heart of the McLaren Vale Wine Region, where Aldinga Airport serves as your gateway to one of Australia’s premier tourist destinations.
To ensure you don’t miss out on the opportunity to linger in this stunning location. We recommend booking your accommodation early. From quality B&B options to the epitome of luxury retreats, there’s a range of choices to suit your preferences.
If you are flying in for the Airshow you have the option of camping ‘under wing’ at the Airfield with toilets and showers provided on-site for your convenience. Please check out our Visiting Pilots Page.
For food enthusiasts staying on, the McLaren Vale Wine Region offers an abundance of culinary delights, from top-class establishments to casual pizzerias and everything in between. Discover why many pilots who operate from Aldinga Airport choose to call this region home.
But don’t just take our word for it. Stop by the McLaren Vale and Fleurieu Peninsula Visitor Centre and chat with the friendly staff who can tailor experiences to suit your preferences. The McLaren Vale Wine Region continually evolves, with new and exciting venues popping up regularly.
The McLaren Vale Wine Region is a convenient 45-minute commute from the CBD thanks to dual-lane highways connecting it to Adelaide. As you traverse the last hill into the township of McLaren Vale, you’ll instantly feel transported to a world away from suburbia.
With so much to see and do in the McLaren Vale Wine Region, choosing among the stunning beaches, cellar doors, galleries, and restaurants can be challenging.
