Where everyone is welcome
The Adelaide Hills is the only place in Australia where a city seamlessly flows into a wine region. In 20 minutes you can drive from downtown central to the heart of one of Australia’s most beautiful wine regions – where you can step from a restaurant deck to a vineyard row; walk out of deep bush into a pristine, glass-walled winery; wander from perfumed orchards to rustic pubs; and amble from breathtaking mountain tops to cooling streams.
All in an Adelaide Hills day.
