The best markets & artisans in Fleurieu Peninsula
From the legendary Willunga Farmers Market every Saturday to cheese factories, olive pressers, chocolate makers and distillers - a feast for those who love meeting the maker.
Markets are woven into the rhythm of life on the Fleurieu Peninsula, and they're one of the best ways to meet the people who grow, make and bake here. The star is the Willunga Farmers Market, held every Saturday morning — one of Australia's longest-running farmers markets, where the produce is genuinely local and the coffee queue is part of the fun.
It's far from the only one. The Goolwa Wharf Market sets up against the river on selected Sundays, and there are regular markets at Strathalbyn, Yankalilla, Myponga and beyond, ranging from fresh-produce stalls to antiques, art and handmade craft. Many run monthly, so a quick check of dates before you travel pays off.
Beyond the markets, the peninsula is full of artisan producers you can visit directly — cheese makers, olive growers, chocolatiers, distillers and small-batch food producers who open their doors at the farm gate. Buying straight from the maker is not only the freshest way to shop, it's the most rewarding, and it's how you'll stumble on the small specialty stores and studios that give the Fleurieu its character. Bring a cooler bag, cash for the smaller stalls, and an empty boot.
