Wynn Vale is an outer north-eastern suburb of Adelaide, South Australia and is located within the City of Tea Tree Gully local government area. It is adjacent to Golden Grove, Modbury Heights, Surrey Downs, Salisbury East and Para Hills. It is located approximately 20 km north-east of the city of Adelaide.

Wynn Vale has grown quickly through the years as a part of the Golden Grove development by Delfin. Originally, the area in and around Wynn Vale was a winery called Modbury Estate, which was owned by S. Wynn & Company.

History

Wynn Vale and Golden Grove were founded by Captain Adam Robertson, and were originally known together as Modbury Estate, a winery owned by S. Wynn & Company. The vineyards were planted with white grapes, which were used for making sherries and quality dry white wines. In 1972 the South Australian government created the South Australian Land Commission, which was formed to evaluate land suitable for the construction of thousands of dwellings for Adelaide's growing population. On 17 October 1974 the South Australian Land Commission bought 390 hectares of land in the region.

On 20 December 1984, over 10 years later, Delfin and the South Australian Urban Land Trust were named as joint developers. Construction work began in May 1985. The suburb of Wynn Vale was named after the original land owner of the property, S. Wynn.
