## **Stay 3 Nights, Pay for 2 – Midweek Special at Vale 194**
This winter, McLaren Vale invites you to slow down, stretch out, and savour every bite, and there's no better time to visit than during the **[Fleurieu Food Festival](https://fleurieupeninsula.com.au/whats-on/fleurieu-food-festival)**, returning in **August 2025**.
Held across the entire month, this much-loved festival is a celebration of the flavours, people, and places that make the Fleurieu Peninsula a true food lover’s paradise. Think vineyard feasts, hands-on workshops, chef-led dining, and stories told through seasonal ingredients. Whether you’re sipping by a fire, tasting your way through a long lunch, or meeting the makers behind the region’s best produce, the festival is your chance to immerse yourself in a season of indulgence.
To help you make the most of it, we’re offering a **Winter Midweek Special** at Vale 194:**🌿 Stay 3 nights, pay for 2** - available Monday to Thursday, ** from now until 31 August 2025**.**Direct bookings only.**
### 📅 **Planning a midweek stay?**
Don’t miss the **final instalment of the MVH Seafood Series**, part of the **Fleurieu Food Festival**, at the McLaren Vale Hotel on **Wednesday 27 August**. This special event features Cape Calamari’s freshest local catch, paired with exceptional Fleurieu wines in a $150 multi-course dinner. It’s a true winter highlight, and best of all, just a short stroll from your accommodation at Vale 194.

Just a short walk from McLaren Vale’s Main Road, Vale 194 offers five luxury holiday houses, each with three king bedrooms, gourmet kitchens, outdoor BBQs, ducted heating, and underfloor-heated bathrooms for a warm and welcoming stay, no matter how cold it gets outside.
After a day of indulgence at Fleurieu Food Festival events, retreat to your own relaxing hideaway. Share a slow-cooked dinner, open a bold red, and let the pace of the region guide you.
Whether you're escaping with friends, planning a romantic midweek retreat, or reconnecting over good food and wine, this is your chance to enjoy the Fleurieu at its finest.
👉 [Book your winter escape](https://vale194.com.au/winter-in-mclaren-vale/) and use the extra night to truly unwind.
