The Fleurieu Peninsula is about an hour's drive south of Adelaide, and its picking farms cluster around two small towns: Mount Compass and Willunga. Harvest the Fleurieu at Mount Compass runs the region's longest season, picking strawberries and a short window of tayberries from October right through to May. Nearby, Peninsula Providore runs guided pick-your-own olive tours, and Wildhand Farm opens its sunflower and daisy rows over summer. Between them there's picking on offer across most of spring, summer and into autumn, with strawberries the reliable long-season option and olives and flowers the shorter seasonal highlights. As always in this wine and produce region, seasons shift with the weather, so call ahead before you drive down.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I pick strawberries near the Fleurieu Peninsula?

Harvest the Fleurieu at Mount Compass is the region's main strawberry patch, typically open daily from around October through to May. Entry is $5 a person, with children under 12 free, and picked strawberries cost $12 a kilogram. It's also the only spot nearby offering a short pick-your-own tayberry window in early December.

Where can I pick cherries near the Fleurieu Peninsula?

We don't currently list any pick-your-own cherry farm on the Fleurieu Peninsula. The nearest cherry picking is in the Adelaide Hills around Lenswood, Balhannah and Forest Range, which pick from about mid-November to mid-January. On the Fleurieu itself the picking is strawberries, olives and summer flowers. It's a shorter window than the Adelaide Hills cherry cluster further north, so call ahead to check timing.

When is the best time to visit the Fleurieu Peninsula for picking?

Strawberries at Harvest the Fleurieu run longest, roughly October to May, making spring through autumn a safe bet. Wildhand Farm's sunflowers and daisies are a summer pick, and Peninsula Providore's olive tours run in the autumn harvest. For the widest choice on one trip, aim for December or January.

How much does fruit picking cost on the Fleurieu Peninsula?

Harvest the Fleurieu charges $5 entry (children under 12 free) plus $12/kg for strawberries. Peninsula Providore's guided pick-your-own olive tour starts at $170 per person. Wildhand Farm hasn't published a price for its summer sunflower sessions, so it's worth calling ahead to confirm before you visit.

Do I need to book ahead for picking on the Fleurieu Peninsula?

Harvest the Fleurieu doesn't require a booking. Peninsula Providore's olive tour is a guided, booked experience, and Wildhand Farm runs its summer flower picking as scheduled sessions, so check both before you travel. A quick call is the best way to make sure there's fruit on the vine when you arrive.
