🌿 Discover Magpie Springs: Where Wine and Art Grow Together

Nestled on Willunga Hill, at the southernmost tip of the Adelaide Hills Wine Region, Magpie Springs (also known as Magpie Springs Vineyard) is just a short drive from McLaren Vale and Adelaide — set in a serene rural landscape accentuated by rolling vineyards, native wildlife, and rustic charm. Tripadvisor+10Magpie Springs+10Pinterest+10

A Living Art Gallery

Magpie Springs is equally an art venue – home to local artist Avril Thomas and her tonal realism paintings and drawings. Her works, along with those of other artists, are displayed on-site — transforming the cellar door into a gallery space. Magpie Springs+8Magpie Springs+8Wanderlog+8

Visitors can also enjoy Plein Air painting sessions on Thursdays, and Paint & Sip workshops held regularly. Plus, Avril’s artwork (and vineyard-inspired prints) is available online via Redbubble, including art on mugs, tote bags, scarves, and more. Magpie Springs+1Magpie Springs+1

Guests also mention friendly, welcoming hosts, thoughtfully prepared platters, and a relaxed, “home away from home” atmosphere that evidences the care put into every detail. Wanderlog

Seasonal Charm & Harvest

The harvest (vintage) typically happens in March, slightly later than surrounding regions due to the vineyard’s elevation — a reflection of its cool climate influence. Magpie SpringsDuring autumn, the property becomes a rich source of inspiration, captured in seasonal prints and artwork sold via the MagpieSprings/Redbubble store. Magpie Springs
