Who We Are

Situated in the beautiful grounds of Hardys Tintara Winery in McLaren Vale, the Fleurieu Arthouse is an award-winning contemporary art space that consists of a large retail store, artisan studios, an exhibition gallery and an in-house cafe. We are a vibrant and creative space with a diverse reach. Our location keeps us at the centre of many local tourism-focused events and our exhibition openings, workshops, classes, studio and social events bring a wide audience through our retail shop.
