Craft beer among the vines
schedule 1 min read / Updated Jun 2026
Tucked down Sand Road in the heart of wine country, Goodieson Brewery has been producing award-winning craft beer since 2010, offering a refreshing change of pace for visitors exploring McLaren Vale. The small-batch brewery is one of South Australia's most celebrated craft operations, known for traditional styles brewed with care and a genuine love of the process.
The cellar door is open six days a week (closed Mondays) from 11am to 5pm, where visitors can settle in for a paddle of rotating taps spanning pale ales, stouts, lagers, and seasonal specials. Bookings are encouraged for groups, but walk-ins are warmly welcomed. The setting is unpretentious and convivial, think timber, sunlight, and cold beer poured by people who genuinely know their craft.
Goodieson is a favourite pitstop on the McLaren Vale touring circuit for those who want something beyond wine. The brewery sits comfortably alongside the region's winery cellar doors, and its relaxed atmosphere makes it equally suited to a quick tasting stop or a long afternoon with friends.
