From Blanchetown to Renmark, you'll find a host of welcoming towns in
the Riverland. Enjoy the local hospitality, water activities, golf
courses, wines and more. Use them as a starting point for your river
adventure, or spend time in town discovering its history, local produce
and more.
I was born and raised in the Riverland. My parents had relocated from the Adelaide Hills where bush fires made them flee for their lives.
Until you've been here you have not seen vineyards. Thousands of acres of them, they represent the workhorse of the Australian Wine Industry.
The Riverland is also home to the largest winery in Australia. Berri Estates Winery is situated at Glossop in the heart of South Australia's Riverland between Berri and Barmera.
The region is home to many smaller wineries:
But it's not all about wine. The region has always had a high population of Greeks, Italians and Lebanese. You will find roadside stalls with fresh produce.
Look out for "Aggies" fruit stall on the Sturt Highway heading toward Berri, about a kilometre from the Berri Estates Winery. She's worked that stall since we were all at Primary School.
Just north of Renmark at Murtho the Woolshed Brewery is another place definitely worth a visit. They also have accommodation and houseboats for hire.
