townships of Mount Gambier, Kongorong, Moorak, Marte, Wandilo and Dartboogie.
The wine growers in the area are supported by the Mount Gambier Regional Winegrowers Association which was formed in June 2003. This region is regarded by many as the diamond in the crown of the Limestone Coast Zone and is rapidly building a reputation for its outstanding reds made from Pinot varieties and white wines from Savignon Blanc and Chardonnay.

volcanic loams around Glencoe and Mount Gambier,
to the stony, flint and limestone soils Kongorong close to the coast.
The first commercial vineyard was planted in 1982 and now the region has grown to
include more than twenty growers and several wineries.
