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. Our unique Arts space is respected as an integral Contemporary Arts destination in the region and is frequented by both locals and tourists who are delighted to engage with and purchase great artwork, meet the makers and learn a little bit more about the wonderful work of South Australian Artists. We pride ourselves on our warm and friendly vibe and inclusive, creative atmosphere and love working with both emerging and contemporary artists to share in the Fleurieu Arthouse story.
