Produce, Cellar Doors & a Distillery Trail
Eat and drink your way through citrus, almond and vine country
The plan
This is the Riverland at its most delicious: a day built around farm gates, family wineries and the region's growing craft scene. Keep small change for honesty boxes and an appetite for tastings.
Morning: market and farm gate
Start with the roadside stalls - the Almond Hut on the Sturt Highway just outside Renmark, citrus honesty boxes along the back roads - for a carload of fresh produce, then grab coffee and breakfast on the Berri riverfront.
Midday: family cellar doors
Taste the region's heritage and future at Angove Family Winemakers in Renmark, five generations deep in wine and St Agnes brandy. Swing through a smaller door - Mallee Estate near Loxton for Italian varieties, or Burk Salter at Blanchetown - for the conversational, grower-poured experience the Riverland does so well.
Afternoon: the craft scene
Finish at 23rd Street Distillery in Renmark, where award-winning gin, whisky and brandy lean on the region's citrus and produce. Then find a spot on the Renmark riverfront, and toast a region that quietly feeds the country.
