18 Sand Rd, McLaren Vale SA 5171

Located amongst the rolling hills in the internationally acclaimed wine region of the McLaren Vale, and set under the watchful majesty of a circa 350-year-old Red River Gum Giant, lies Fork in the Road Vineyard and Cellar Door. Here we believe that wine is to be celebrated and enjoyed.

Produced primarily from fruit grown in our Old Oval Estate vineyards, our Fork in the Road wines reflect this ethos and are the perfect complement to good food and company. Owned and operated by Joan Rowley and her family, it's a stunning destination to relax and enjoy the beauty of the region.

Beloved by both locals and new visitors alike, it offers its guests a rustic cellar door wine tasting experience. It's a special place of rolling lawns, picturesque views and romantic elegance for the whole family. Come and see for yourself.

Gluten free friendly platters, lovely staff and delicious wine. The sparkling white is wonderful and light, enough so that non-bubbly drinkers enjoy. The Shiraz is so gorgeous too. Lovely views, we got to watch the blue fairy wrens play in the surrounding garden. We are now part of their club, and get half a dozen of our picks sent to us twice a year, too. Thank you!

James and I would like to thank Joan and all the wonderful staff at Old Oval Estate (Fork in the Road) for hosting our wedding ceremony and reception this October 2021.
We live rurally (over 6 hours out of Adelaide) and dealing with Joan and the team was a breeze! Admittedly, I was a very low maintenance bride for my reception and ceremony as we wanted to keep it as simple as possible - but Joan and the team were more than accomodating!
To the ease of communication, stunning natural views, catering options, a delicious drop or two and fantastic venue hire equipment already in place - you don't need to go anywhere else!
I absolutely loved my special day, and I can't ever thank Joan and the team enough for making it happen.
Do yourself a favour and keep this location in mind for any wedding or events you might be hosting - you won't be disappointed!
