Coonawarra Winery Region

Starting on the northern outskirts of Penola is the world famous Coonawarra Winery Region which is famous for its full bodied reds grown in the highly prized terra rossa soil over limestone. It is for this reason that most of the 22 cellar door sales outlets are very closely situated, almost gate after gate along the highway.

Little Blue Lake

Due south off Bay Road to the right is Little Blue Lake, one of the many water filled sinkholes which provide a "window" into the underground water system and a cool swim for experienced swimmers.
