South of Adelaide lies a land of plenty – a place of wine, almonds and olives, summer beach holidays and enigmatic hills. Barbara Santich has immersed herself in the lore of the McLaren Vale region, becoming a silent spectator at the picnics and ploughing matches of the nineteenth century. McLaren Vale: Sea & Vines recounts the region’s history and describes its present.

Barbara Santich is a writer and cultural historian whose work has been published all over the world. Looking for Flavour (1996) was judged best soft cover book in the 1997 Australian Food Writers’ Awards.
