Wine Industry
Langhorne Creek has a wine history dating back to 1850. Traditionally a red wine growing district well known for production of outstanding Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz. These two red wine grape varieties constitute approximately 70% of the total vineyard plantings in the region. Over recent years considerable experimentation has occurred and a wide range of grape varieties are now grown. The vinyards harvest from late March to late April. Some of the largest vinyards in Langhorne Creek are Orlando, Fabal, Wolf Blass, CMV and Bleasedale, who also have a winery.
The town is on the banks of the Bremer River which flows into Lake Alexandrina. In winter, the river frequently floods across the vineyards, contributing to the terroir of the region.
Features
The primary feature, excluding vinyards and wineries, is the Football Club. The Langhorne Creek Hawks play in the GSFL (Great Southern Football League), and are one of the best clubs in the league. The current club President is Mr Gordon Tonkin but he will soon be succeeded by Roger Follett, the current Vice President. Deb Eckert is the Club Administrator and Julie Eckert is the catering manager who succeeded Leonie's lambs fry.
