Five wine regions can be found within its boundaries: Currency Creek (to the west of Lake Alexandrina), Kangaroo Island, Langhorne Creek (between Lake Alexandrina and the town of Strathalbyn), McLaren Vale (in the northwest of the peninsula) and Southern Fleurieu (located on the peninsula and a section of the Mount Lofty Ranges).

The seasons are characterized by milder temperatures than those experienced in some of South Australia's inland and high-altitude regions.

These conditions combine to make the peninsula an area which can support a variety of grape types.
