We begin our event with four nights in Victor Harbor, one of SA’s premier holiday destinations on the southern coast of the glorious Fleurieu Peninsula, just over an hour south of Adelaide. Autumn weather in April and May is generally mild to cool with highs around 17-20C and lows around 13-15C. It is generally calm but can be a little breezy – layers are recommended!
We will be staying at the McCracken Resort, overlooking the championship McCracken Golf Course. After checking in on Friday our friendly members will be there for you to register your arrival. We will then meet for welcome drinks followed by dinner at the Resort.
Saturday is our traditional Concours which will take place on the waterfront lawns of Warland Reserve in the Victor Harbor Township, allowing the public to wander and enjoy our collection of Astons. Members can take advantage of the location as it is within a short distance to many local attractions to enjoy while the cars are being judged.
Victor Harbor on Encounter Bay isn’t just a beautiful tourist destination, it is steeped in rich cultural history dating back to the time of the local native indigenous tribes and intertwined with the arrival of European settlers in the 19th century. It will charm you with its relaxed and friendly vibe, good pubs, cafes and restaurants, as well as colonial architectural gems, natural beauty and wildlife.
To give you flexibility, we’ve put together a selection of optional activities and local suggestions for your free time – sightseeing, casual eating, relaxed social gatherings, walks and scenic drives. Join in where you like or simply enjoy the destination your own way. The free time is yours to make the most of.

Sunday is the chance to stretch the legs of our magnificent machines as we head off on an Observation Run, travelling through the Fleurieu Peninsula and ending at Lake Breeze Wines for a long lazy lunch in the Barrel Room. Of the 18 distinct wine regions in SA, Langhorne Creek is the best kept secret, and Lake Breeze is beautifully situated among red gums and vineyards which will look magnificent in Autumn. The Follett family have been growing grapes here for 130 years, with many trophies in their cabinet, so we can explore the wines they have to offer.
More about our journey together in the next edition. If you have any questions in the meantime please don’t hesitate to contact us.
