Langhorne Creek Grape and Wine is a member organisation representing the interests of wine producers and winegrape growers of the Langhorne Creek wine region (Geographical Indication).
Our vision is for a sustainable wine region providing recognised value and quality to its grape purchasers and wine consumers.
Our mission is to build and maintain our reputation:
Membership for wineries and grape growers is paid through the Wine Industry Fund (WIF) Levy managed by Primary Industries and Regions South Australia (PIRSA). The payment of annual WIF contributions automatically provides membership to Langhorne Creek Grape and Wine Inc (LCGW). Further information on the wine industry funds with access to contribution forms can be found on the PIRSA Grape and Wine website.
Associate members – Associate Membership is available to a person or entity other than a Grapegrower Member or a Winemaker Member that supports and is relevant to the objectives of Langhorne Creek Grape and Wine (LCGW) and agrees to be bound by its rules. (Eg: agricultural supplier, accommodation, food etc.) An annual fee is payable.*
*Where a business, whose primary business necessitates payment of Langhorne Creek WIF Contributions, seeks associate membership – the WIF contributions must be paid in full prior to associate membership being provided.
Langhorne Creek Grape & Wine Inc organises several key regional events each year. The annual Langhorne Creek Wine Show has been established on the Australian wine show circuit since 2014 with judging held in early May.
At the Wine Show awards luncheon, Producer of the Year and Winegrape Grower of the Year are presented, along with acknowledgements of LCGW’s regional partners.
The Cellar Treasures festival is held in October every year and other opportunities to promote the region are considered and organised as they arise.
Our wine bar caravan Alfred is available for the exclusive use of members. In addition, members have access to a variety of marketing collateral, glassware and AV equipment.

The Langhorne Creek CropWatch service aims to provide practical, timely and user-friendly vineyard pest and disease risk assessment and management information which may assist growers to reduce crop losses, reduce production costs, maximise product quality and increase knowledge of general viticultural practices.
The service offers decision support and information, not definitive advice.
Fortnightly bulletins are issued during the growing season, generally September to March. A season summary is published post-vintage each year.
Members can access the seasonal reports from this site.
