Somerled Wines

Winery
Food & Drink
Somerled Wines, a charming family-owned winery located at the beginning of Main Street in Hahndorf, offers a delightful wine experience. The cellar bar provides a cozy setting to enjoy their wines and platters while watching the picturesque streets of Hahndorf. You can also book a private group tasting and relax by the open fire.
My partner and I really enjoyed our wine tasting at Somerled nestled in a cozy and quaint space, where the lady who served us was really passionate, lovely and kind. The wines were also good and interesting. Thank you!

Somerled Wines is another of those must-do things to do in Hahndorf. A great opportunity to sample some local Adelaide Hills wine, while stopping in the beautiful town for a few hours too.
The location is really pretty and so is the Cellar Bar itself. You enter off the high street through a wisteria arch and gorgeous front garden courtyard into the Cellar Bar. Here you find a really tranquil, warm show room with small circular, white clothed tables and seats. A wood burning fire keeps the whole room snug and toasty.
The atmosphere was very quiet with some guests by themselves, reading a book or absorbing the moment. I could well have been in a library cafe instead of a cellar bar :)
My wife ordered a $30, three-wine sample tasting of reds, which was mostly for my pleasure. And I'm not sure I was really in the mood for it, as I literally sipped, sampled and left three quarters of the wine in the glasses. But the whole experience was fun, tremendously relaxing and I'm glad I did it.
Somerled Wines was an excellent stop for our day at the Hahndorf village.
We didn't plan to have a wine tasting on the day and decided to walk in and Clinton was more then accommodating.
We went through almost the entire flight of available wines and were impressed by both Clinton's knowledge and hospitality.
Personally I felt a little bad about not being able to purchase any wines on the day (as we had gone a little crazy on purchasing wines the day before) but Somerset Wines is on our 'reserve list' for future purchases!
Strongly recommend to try the Sparkling Shiraz and Sauvignon Blanc!!
The Winter reds event was a disappointment. The venue is nice but it was cramped, the staff were very confused and the food was incredibly overpriced and dull. An $18 chicken burger was dry and tiny with nothing on the side. The $18 arancini balls (thankfully 2) were ping pong sized served in a paper bowl. We inquired about some chocolate coated almonds and were told they were $12 for a small bowl. It seemed like the event was a money making exercise.
The tables and chairs in the front garden quickly captured our interest, and before we knew it, we found ourselves comfortably settled in. Our group shared a couple of bottles of wine and indulged in the delicious gluten-free cheese puffs and cacciatore sausage with manchego cheese, which were absolutely delightful. The staff mades us feel very welcome with their genuine and friendly hospitality.
It was such a great experience that we decided to return the following afternoon!
Afternoon of wine tasting in a lovely setting.
We were very well looked after by Lucy and team. Fabulous wine and really tasty nibbles. Recommend the Shriaz and French plate combo. Joined the club and will be back.
We really enjoyed our stop at Somerled. Karen was very attentive and friendly. She was very knowledgeable about wines and made us feel very welcome (even though they were very busy)
The place is very cute and fits the whole ambiance of Hahndorf.
The wines were delicious. The sparkling shiraz is not to miss.
Overall, somerled is a great spot for a date or a quick bite accompanied with quality SA wines
Delicious afternoon of wine tasting. Clinton was a lovely host who didn’t mind that I don’t partake in alcohol drinks. Nonetheless he explained and offered water with no bother.
Summary: Very warm welcome both from our host and the decor. Delicious wine

Nestled on the outskirts of the charming Hahndorf Village, Hahndorf Hill Winery is a delightful destination that celebrates its German heritage through exquisite Austrian varietals. This compact vineyard in the picturesque Adelaide Hills offers a unique tasting experience with award-winning wines crafted in four distinct styles.
such a lovely place for us tasting wine and cheese, very delighted experience we have, all staffs are friendly, helpful and smiling haaa, it makes the whole experience even delighting yayaya, also Hahndorf Hill winery is pretty beautiful wine planting garden, having a mass of greenland, but sadly we come here in wintertime><so you can’t see the grapes on the land but just the plant
we order a glass of Green Angel Late Harvest Gruner Veltliner, recommended by a lady, and this one didn’t dissapoint us haa, instead surprising us in very good way, it tastes sweet but more than sweetness the flavor is complex, after we trying a glass and we buy a bottle, seriously quite attractive and perfect one for us for its sweetness as a non-wine fans haaa
cheese platter including four cheese, blue cheese, cheddar cheese, goose cheese and one mixed flavoring cheese, blue cheese is coming with the sweet ginger, and you will get some almonds on sides, enjoyed the cheese platter so much with Green angel haaa
The Hahndorf Hill Green Angel Grüner Veltliner Late Harvest 2021, described by the judges as 'delicious', won three trophies, including Best White Wine of Show and the competition's top honour, Wine of Show
This deliciously delicate late-harvest wine gets its name from the Austrian word 'Gruner' which means green. The grapes for this wine are allowed a very extended period of ripening, during which the berries shrivel and thereby
concentrate the flavour, the sugar and the natural acidity.
Since the climatic conditions required to achieve this are quite specific, this wine will only be made in exceptional years. The juice is fermented till the desired alcohol level is achieved, leaving a residual amount of sugar in the wine. This residual sweetness is kept in balance by a high natural acidity. The rich yet delicate nose is layered with spice, lemon zest, poached pear and meringue. The palate is unctuous yet lively with fresh citrus, delicate
poached fruits, white pepper and a lively long tail.
Perfectly matched to your favourite dessert, all chocolate and a runny, ripe brie cheese! This wine will age and develop well for 30 - 40 years.
so much fun today in the wine tasting and with many beautiful photos haaa, as first wine tasting in a winery, it’s such a great experience yaya, to be memorized haaa

Absolutely phenomenal experience overall. Lucky enough to get a seat without booking prior.
Awesome selection of wines featuring more obscure grape varieties with staff knowledge and service going absolutely above and beyond- the passion for ensuring their customers leave with a memorable experience made for an extraordinarily comfortable time approaching the relativity daunting world of wine.
Really enjoying hearing about the history of the wines and discussing what goes into the wines that contribute to your preferred palate.
Definitely looking forward to coming back here again next time we visit South Australia.
Have visited this location many times over many years. Everything about this place is exceptional. Thank you, Dee, for making my friends understand and appreciate new wines, information, and flavours. You guys are never disappointing.
Was here with my husband in August and did the wine and chocolate tasting. Our host was friendly, attentive and knowledgeable. The view was also very nice. We had very relaxing and lovely time sipping wine and nibbling on chocolate.
This winery has a specialises in Austrian varietals. We did a Gruiner Veltier flight. It was interesting to see the differences across the range.
I was also intrigued by the concept of the chocolate and wine tasting. I didn’t see how it would work but then I’ve been amazed by whisky chocolate and whisky and cheese pairings. Unfortunately I didn’t have the same 1+1=3 experience (where the flavour of the combination excited the individual flavours).
It wasn’t possible to taste wines without doing a tasting experience which was disappointing and we left without trying some of the wines I was interested in.
After a rainy start to the day we headed to the Vinyard in the afternoon. The sun came out and gave us glorious views of the autumn colours of the vines. Mid week, it's not busy and we take our time over the white and red flights and the cheese platter. All the wines are wonderful and did not disappoint at all.
The photos from the balcony are bathed in autumn colours. We took away several bottles to remind us of our visit.
A lovely rainy afternoon tasting at Hahndorf Hill Winery. Our amazing host Kate took us through a knowledgeable tasting of Austrian red wines. Thank you Kate for your amazing hospitality. The cheese board was delicious too.
Stunning views, great service. We genuinely loved all of the wines we tasted, every single one. Kate’s service was exceptional and she made the whole experience top tier.

Shaw + Smith

Wineries & Vineyards
Shaw + Smith, established in 1989 by cousins Michael Hill Smith MW and Martin Shaw, is a top-notch winery known for its hand-picked grapes and on-site fermentation, aging, and bottling at Balhannah. The winery has a sustainable farming approach and prioritizes water and energy conservation. In addition to their regular wine flight, they offer a Limited Release Wine Flight featuring aged release or single-site wines paired with a South Australian produce platter.
Shaw + Smith was such a lovely experience from start to finish. The setting is absolutely beautiful – panoramic vineyard views and a modern, relaxed vibe that makes you want to linger all afternoon.
The wines were fantastic. I especially loved the rosé – crisp, refreshing, and perfect for the sunny afternoon. The tasting was well-paced and thoughtfully curated, with each wine introduced by the friendly and knowledgeable staff.
The food was just as impressive. The goat’s cheese with honeycomb was a standout – such a clever pairing – and the burrata was unbelievably creamy and fresh. Everything was beautifully presented and full of flavour.
Great service, gorgeous scenery, and top-notch wine and food – definitely a must-visit in the Adelaide Hills!
Katie G — Google review
It’s a beautiful place! They are wine experts and happy to share what they know. Big in sustainable practices and quality. I recommend the wine flight experience. The Les deux coqs duck rilllet was fantastic!
Throughly enjoyed our visit to Shaw & Smith with a fantastic wine tasting and delicious selection of nibbles. Steve was the perfect host, talking us through the amazing range of wines with great knowledge & fun personality. Easily one of the best tasting experiences I have had in a very long time (& there have been many!). The visit was topped off by a fun chat with Tristan during our wine purchase. Thanks to the team for such a memorable visit to S&S! We’ll definitely be back.
We had a wonderful tasting with snacks during our visit to Shaw + Smith. We chose the classic wine flight and enjoyed all the wines, as well as our selection of cold larder (burrata, duck rillette, and bresaola). We were seated with beautiful view over the vines and the staff were knowledgeable, friendly, and attentive. We visited on a Sunday and it was busy so highly recommend booking.
Had a wonderful experience doing the classic tasting at Shaw + Smith. Will was incredibly knowledgeable and helpful. The wine flight was delicious and the olives a perfect accompaniment. The cellar door is open, light and modern with a beautiful outlook of the vineyards. One of my favourite winery experiences.
Shaw + Smith is a step up in the wine tasting experience. I would like to leave my very special thanks to Will from the Cellar Door which beautifully welcomed us, managed to get us a tasting time when the times where sold out when I explained Shaw + Smith is my wife's australian favourite wine and during the tasting immersed ourselves through the notes and aroma of high quality wines. Will also provided suggestions of places to visit which we followed and it was everything we needed while in Adelaide for the weekend. Great wines, beautiful space and friendly staff. That's how I would describe Shaw + Smith.
Amazing wine, possibly the best of the Hills with engaging staff set in a stunning location. A must visit.
Beautiful scenery overlooking the vines and hills. Wine was pretty good and good sourdough and hommus platters. Service was lovely and really helpful.

Hans Heysen - The Cedars
Mentioned on
Nature & Parks
Historic Sites

The Cedars is a historic property that served as the residence, studio, and inspiration for the renowned Australian landscape artist Sir Hans Heysen. Nestled on a 36-acre estate that later expanded to 132 acres, this picturesque setting was home to Heysen and his family. Visitors can explore the evocative stone studio nestled among gum trees and view around 200 original artworks displayed in changing exhibits.
I was recommended to visit that incredible place by my friend. From my point of view, autumn is the most perfect time to go there. Due to bushfires we could see only Heysen's daughter studio and half of the garden. But even though I was so impressed. We took a self-guided tour, because we arrived too late, before they closed. Nevertheless, it was a good decision as well. We were all alone and could enjoy the beauty of the place and had a small picnic. I definitely will come back to take a guided tour to see the rest and know more about his life and creations.

A lovely home and garden and interesting artist studios. The guided tour includes the house interior and details about the father and daughter artists and the family. Gift shop and small café available.
Perfectly sublime ~ top class guided tour of both Hans and Nora's studios and the house, superb luncheon at the Cafe, magnificent gardens...absolutely loved it 🤩😍
Soak up Australian history at this wonderful exhibit. Allow plenty of time as the tour is great. Then before you head off have a coffee and cake both were absolutely brilliant. Perfect end to a fascinating visit.
Hans Heyson's artwork is always amazing to see. Staff are always friendly and helpful, and if you get a chance the Devonshire Tea option at the Cafe is amazing.
I have been wanting to come here for a few years and so happy to have achieved my goal of seeing how Hans painted the Flinders Ranges; (from which we were heading home to Vic.) The house tour was fantastic- our Wednesday guide John was very knowledgeable. All the staff were most welcoming. I had bought my tickets on line no way did I want to miss out, it meant I could tag along with another earlier group tour.
There is a lot of earth works currently in progress as a new gallery is being constructed. I look forward to seeing the old and the new together.
Beautiful experience, do the tour, do the Devonshire Scones and do the Artist walk.
An amazing place, beautifully cared for. I heard everyone in my tour group say that they enjoyed their time at The Cedars.
Have to admit this visit wasn’t my choice but I was so glad I went. I was pleasantly surprised by how lovely an experience it was!
Such a loyally preserved capture of time by the very knowledgeable volunteers who keep this artist’s home, studio & family memories alive. Well worth your time but I strongly suggest booking in advance for the tour.

Cafe
The Big Rocking Horse is a family-friendly attraction located near Gumeracha in the Adelaide Hills. This iconic landmark stands at 18 meters tall and offers visitors the opportunity to climb to the top for panoramic views. Adjacent to the rocking horse is a toy factory where handcrafted wooden toys are made and sold. Visitors can take a tour of the factory, purchase unique toys, and even explore a wildlife park on-site.
The huge rocking horse is truly impressive up close, and climbing to the top gives you great views of the surrounding countryside. There’s also a lovely toy factory, where you can see handmade wooden toys 🧸(great for gifts or souvenirs), and a wildlife park where you can feed kangaroos and see native animals up close. Perfect for families or even just a relaxing day out.
It’s only about an hour from Adelaide and makes a great stop if you’re heading through the Adelaide Hills. The staff are always friendly, and the whole place has a welcoming, nostalgic charm.
Highly recommend adding this to your South Aussie adventure list! 🦘

The Big Rocking Horse is a fantastic place to visit! The giant rocking horse is iconic, and the view from the top is beautiful. The animal park is lovely, with friendly animals you can feed, making it great for families and kids. The cafe serves good coffee and snacks, though the menu is a bit limited. They also have a gift store where you can buy yourself some nice souvenirs to remember the trip. The staff are welcoming and helpful, and it’s a fun spot to stop and relax. Highly recommend 🥰
The Rocking Horse is an iconic must see attraction in the Adelaide Hills. It was wonderful to see it again after 17 years. The animal park there is quite good with a mixture of animals and the gift shop is big and full of items including hand made wooden toys. There is also mini golf, cafe and beautiful murals on the outside of the public toilets.
We had the most amazing time today at the Big Rocking Horse. So much work has been done & it all looks fantastic. The Staff were welcoming & going out & feeding the animals was the very best, loved it so much. Congratulations & thank you to you all for an outstanding day. 👏
A great spot for families to spend a couple of hours. The drive through the hills is quite scenic. At the location, you’ll find a few animals and birds, including kangaroos, alpacas, some peacocks, etc. The entry price is reasonable, though they could consider offering a slightly cheaper package for families. There’s also a nice café on-site.
Big Rocking Horse, Adelaide – Great Family Spot
We visited today and really enjoyed it! Entry to the Big Rocking Horse is only $2 per person, which is great value. Climbing to the top is fun but a bit hard for older people since it’s all ladders — kids will love it!
There’s a nice café next to the horse with good food at reasonable prices. The animal park beside it costs $7 per person, where you can feed and touch the animals — great fun for children and adults too. Toilets are available and clean.
Overall, a fun, affordable, and family-friendly place to visit!
Was a beautiful day out with the family! All the beat pics have my family, so won't be posting them.
I do highly recommend for a day out with the family! Both my 12 year old, and toddler loved it.
My sons 2nd birthday. We came here for a little lunch and a walk and visit with the animals. Iconic Giant Rocking Horse in Gumeracha. Its a nice drive to get here. Disability friendly and plenty of toilets and safe walking tracks for those limited in movement. The animals were well taken care of and friendly. Everything was clean and tidy. The wooden toys are always fun to see. Staff were super friendly and helpful. Ive been here several times and will happily visit again. Great place for families. Don't bring your pets.

Very cool tree and history.
Was fun to stop on our day out.
Tom K — Google review
What an absolutely bonus to see this tree on the way to Dimboola. To think people actually lived in it, and it being so old and the concerns that would come from it.
What an amazing story/place. 5 years living in the hollowed out tree trunk. Presumably, the tree was in a bit better shape than it is now, but their was a cold breeze blowing through there when we visited. Great story boards in the tree. They had 18 children!!!
The history behind it is amazing.
Still wondering how they lived in it.
There’s nothing much to see after that. So, from Adelaide, if you plan to continue on from the tree, it’s worth it, otherwise it’s just too long a trip.
There should be some more touristic things to do.
Not a single person in sight.
A 500 years old tree, you must see it!
Firstly used as a shelter for aboriginal people, this tree became famous after Herbig family used it as a house.
This hollow tree trunk provided a 'home' for Friedrich and Caroline Herbig and two of their 16 children until 1860 at Springton.
Historic Herbig Tree is located on the main road in Springton, situated in the eastern Barossa Valley, about 60 kilometres north east of Adelaide.
The Herbig Tree! An intriguing place to visit while in Barossa Valley in South Australia. Between 300 to 500 years old and in Springton not too far from Angastan. I have been advised by locals in Tanunda a family lived in this tree.
This is located near the road side, 10 meters away.
Magnificent! The tree is an estimated 300 to 500 years old.
It is well worth the visit, but only if you are passing by.
It must've been really hard for a family of four to live in this 500-year-old tree, which was hollowed by a lightning strike. Shows the resilience of early European settlers.

Gorge Wildlife Park

Wildlife park
Nature & Parks
Gorge Wildlife Park, nestled in the scenic Adelaide Hills and just a short drive from Adelaide, offers an exceptional opportunity to interact closely with a diverse array of Australian and exotic wildlife. Established in 1965 and spanning 14 acres of natural bushland, this family-operated sanctuary is home to koalas, kangaroos, wombats, dingoes, alligators, as well as various birds and reptiles. Visitors can hold koalas and observe these animals up close.
We enjoyed a wonderful visit to Gorge Wildlife Park. A cheerful welcome from staff and good information set us happily exploring this well set out park. There are lots of animals and birds to see. All healthy and look to be enjoying the picturesque facilities. It's on a slope but the paths meander around so that it's not difficult to get to all the wildlife. Highly recommend a visit. Good for everyone
Vicki S — Google review
Gorge Wildlife Park is a wonderful place to visit with family. You can easily spend 1–2 hours here enjoying the animals, especially if you love interacting with and caring for them. The park is well maintained, and you can feed some of the animals. There’s also a shop where you can buy souvenirs and animal food, plus a cafe offering meals and drinks.
Parking is convenient, with three car parks available, one right at the entrance and two across the road—so finding a spot is not difficult. Entry prices are fair, and for an additional fee you can hold a koala at 11:30 am or 2:30 pm, which is a popular highlight.
Walking paths are in place, though some areas have slopes and stairs, so keep this in mind if you’re visiting with prams or wheelchairs. There are several spots where you can sit and enjoy your own food, making it a relaxed outing.
One improvement could be adding more information boards with animal details, which would make the experience even more engaging.
Overall, it’s a great family-friendly destination that balances animal encounters, facilities, and accessibility.
Absolutely worth visiting!
If you want a real, hands-on Australian wildlife experience, you must visit George Wildlife Park in Cudlee Creek, South Australia. This place is completely different from Adelaide Zoo, Monarto Safari Park or most other animal parks. You can hand feed friendly kangaroos, pet adorable koalas and enjoy an up-close encounter with many of Australia’s native animals, all at very affordable prices.
The atmosphere feels natural, relaxed and family friendly. Staff are welcoming and the animals are clearly well cared for. It’s the perfect spot for tourists and locals alike who want an unforgettable wildlife experience without the high crowds or high entry costs. Highly recommended!
A great place to visit and get close-up with so many Australian animals (and plenty from overseas as well!).
There is something here for everyone, from old favourites like kangaroos to some lesser-seen critters like capybaras. They were definitely the highlight of our visit, with the recently-born babies stealing many hearts in the audience.
Don't forget the reptiles on the way out and, although less exotic, the rabbits and chickens are also worth spending time with!
Very affordable for a family ($66 for a family of 4). I'd recommend getting there earlier rather than later, though, given the parking is limited and gets pretty full.
My first experience at Gorge will not be my last. I had the most wonderful day. I already can’t wait to go back! So many different animals .. the park itself was relaxing and spacious. Food was nice and the staff were lovely. The admission price was great value.
Such a lovely place to visit.
Not too big (so you can actually make your way around to everything easy) but also lots of animals!
So many enclosures and all were so good, plenty of plants and space and very natural looking inside.
Cool variety of animals - natives, primates, reptiles, farm, exotic.
Can feed kangaroos and wallabies as well as farm animals.
Also an awesome shop and the good people were eating from the Cafe smelt amazing.
Very well kept, the signs were being updated while we were there and they had plenty of signs apologising for it, while still having some signs available.
Only thing that bothered me was the map, was hard to use - maybe try a satellite image to help place where things are accurately or you know someone with a drone who could take above photos?
I'm good with maps but was very hard to use, it didnt show any paths on it or anything.
One of the major reasons we came to Australia from the states. How many people can say they held a koala or a kangaroo ate from the palm of their hands? Fun little park, we went on a public holiday so was packed but you find your private space to interact with the animals. Staff was polite and accommodating. Make the drive to Adelaide, it is 1000% worth it.
I think this is one of the best wildlife parks in South Australia.
Be careful around the Ostriches though they are opportunistic and will eat hair accessories and hats. We alerted staff about it but they didnt seem all too concerned so I hope they are doing ok.
All the animals were very active. Goats and birds were mighty keen for a feed.
They have Capybaras.
If you want to see Fairy penguins up close this is a good place to see them.
Very active dingoes too. You can hear them howling across the park.

Adelaide Central Market

Market
Shopping
Adelaide Central Market, established in 1869, is a food lover's paradise with over 80 vendors offering organic fruits, premium meats, and more. It is renowned as Adelaide's food hub and one of Australia's largest fresh produce markets. The market features a diverse range of products including fruit and vegetable shops, patisseries, cafes, gourmet cheeses, sweets, and charcuterie. Visitors can enjoy live music on Fridays and participate in various events such as cooking classes and workshops.
If you’re passionate about food, culture, or people, Adelaide Central Market is a spectacular stop. Its mix of tradition and innovation—centered on fresh South Australian produce and global flavors—continues to define Adelaide’s culinary identity. Though price-conscious visitors may need to comparison-shop, there’s no denying the energy, history, and community richness of the space.
Whether you’re picking up artisan cheese, grabbing a quick lunch at one of the stalls, or simply soaking up the bustle, a visit here feels essential—a feast for senses and spirit alike.

The Adelaide Central Market is such a delight! I had the sweetest cherries and the most flavorful quiche Lorraine, both absolutely unforgettable. Everything feels so fresh and made with care. Beyond the food, the atmosphere is vibrant and welcoming, making it the perfect spot to wander, taste, and enjoy the best of Adelaide. Don’t miss the bookstore 🥰
This was my second visit to these markets and, perhaps due to the ongoing renovations, seemed a bit less pleasant. Firstly, it didn't feel as large and secondly, I found it quite dark inside.
Nonetheless, I did enjoy wandering all the aisles (some are a bit on the narrow side) and perusing the different stalls. The majority are definitely food and veggies, followed by fish and meat. There are plenty of eateries as well.
If coming in by public transport, the free tram stops at Victoria Square - a 5 minute walk from the market. There is parking and the first hour is free. On Saturdays, the first three hours are free during market opening hours. There are electric vehicle charging stations in the carpark.
Artisan appeal and presentation - 5/5
Overall vibe was cosy and nostalgic walking around a wide selections of food and trades.
Pricing - 2/5
Unfortunately, we felt many items are overpriced, which is a detriment to the notion of going to a market to find cheap local produce.
If you’re not afraid to splash money, you’ll find this place amazingly diverse, but if you’re after a deal, you’ll likely wont find it here, and instead go to local famers markets.
Whilst we enjoyed exploring the market, we felt reluctant spending money like $10 for a slice a pizza.
Busy and bustling market. Lots of fresh produce, seafood, meats, veggies, fruit. Not very many places were doing samplings when I was there, and inflation certainly is healthy, especially at the little eateries inside the market. Can't wait to see the place once the renovation is complete.
Such a great market in Adelaide! You will find everything from pantry goodies and fresh produce to tasty baked treats. It’s right in the city, clean, well-kept and the vendors are always friendly and welcoming.
We came to this large market on a weekday morning. There is lots of variety for fruits, vegetables, meat, cheese, cooked food and coffee. Most of the shops were open and we had a nice time browsing. Prices here are reasonable. This is a must visit place in Adelaide.
Great little market …. Fabulous variety of fruit and veggies, wine, cheese, flowers, fish!
A must visit if you’re in Adelaide… service is super friendly as well… highly recommend ⭐️

Beautiful gardens, amazing setting and very well taken care of. Walked through the entire garden, loved every part of it. Highlight was the rose garden for sure, absolutely amazing place, will go there to chill in the future as well.

The Adelaide Botanic Garden displays a few amazing plants, the most spectacular being the Victoria amazonica, which is the second largest in the water lily family Nymphaeaceae. The gardens were designed beautifully, and reflected the visions of the early directors of the botanic garden.
One needs to spend a good part of one day to wander around the 50 ha of the magnificently maintained botanic garden. I enjoyed seeing the avenue of huge fig trees and the wisteria plants which were flowering.
The volunteer guides of Friends of the Botanic Gardens of Adelaide take two free tours a day. We were privileged to be shown the gardens as an event of the 18th Australiasian Botanic Garden Guides Conference.
Before visiting this Adelaide Botanic Garden for the 1st time, I didn't have much expectation as I arrived South Australia in January 2025 and experienced the longest drought seasons in history. Everywhere were dry, grey / brown but not green, especially northern parts of the Adelaide City.
After five months of raining since late May 2025 and in this Spring time, I reckoned it is now the best timing to visit Adelaide Botanic Garden to see the flowers and greenery.
It looked like my understanding was correct, as the Adelaide Botanic Garden was really beautiful, much better than what I expected. Everywhere were green and with beautiful flowers. Thanks to the effort of the team especially the gardeners, the garden is well maintained with healthy plants and trees, and beautiful flowers and lawns. They have kept all facilities well like the ponds, wetland, fountains, glasshouses, walkways, fences, toilets, directional signs and function rooms etc. Everything in the garden were tidy, clean and functioning well.
During my visit, there were several weddings events held inside the garden, on the lawns and inside the event centres. No doubt to me here is one of the best wedding venues in Adelaide.
I don't think I have walked-through every corners of the garden yet as it is so big. I will definitely re-visit quite again as it is really a nice and lovely park which is so easy to access. For example, it's good to visit it for a walk in a weekend afternoon and then cross the street to visit one of the lovely restaurants in the East End for an enjoyable dinner.
Adelaide Botanical Gardens
A great day out.
Maps available at entry
Well kept and maintained Gardens
Lots of variety
Lovely old buildings.
Wisteria Arch ways both were stunning.
Rose Gardens a great variety
Not far from the city.
Can catch a free tram
Lots of grass areas for a picnic or eat in the Cafe.
I really loved seeing g the Black oak area very old great to see.
The Botanical Gardens of Adelaide were very beautiful and impressive. Large trees and magnificent gardens made the park a must see. Also the conservatory and other structures there were great. We spent a good 2 hrs wandering the gardens.
A great place to visit if the traffic & noise of the city becomes too much. Great facilities or find a quiet spot. So much to do. Clean & tidy & looks amazing. Very reasonable prices for cafe food if you are looking for lunch but beware of the birds as they are known to steal food on occasion (there are signs warning of this in appropriate spots)
Lovely and impressive botanic garden which you must visit in South Australia! Very large that will take you a few hours to walk 🚶♀️ and you will enjoy coming here again and again! The air is fresh and so many kinds of colourful flowers attract you 🌸 there’re also many bizarre glass statues that made with impeccable skills so artistic and aesthetic!! 💓
I really enjoyed exploring the Adelaide Botanic Garden! There are so many incredible sections and the Bicentennial Conservatory and Amazon Waterlilly Pavillion are some of the must visits! The National Rose Garden has an incredible variety of roses to see.

Rundle Mall is the heart of Adelaide’s shopping and social scene, lively and buzzing on both weekdays and weekends. Whether you’re looking for budget finds or premium brands, there’s something for everyone. From fashion and beauty to bookstores and tech, it truly is a one-stop destination.
There are plenty of restaurants and quick bites to choose from, including sushi joints, cozy coffee spots, dessert places, and more. It is best explored on foot, with side streets and arcades adding to the charm.
Do not miss the iconic sculptures while you are there, especially the famous Mall’s Balls and the bronze pig statues. They are local favorites and perfect for a quick photo.
Early mornings around 6 AM are wonderfully calm and peaceful, ideal for a quiet stroll before the city comes alive. At night, the atmosphere remains lively. You may come across a few merry drunks, but they are easy enough to avoid.
All in all, a must-visit if you are in Adelaide. Whether you are here to shop, eat, people-watch, or simply soak in the vibe, Rundle Mall delivers.
I was surprised to see how vibrant the RM is on a Sunday. Music, stalls, interactive events. Pretty trees, lots of shade & sunny spots. Interesting shops. Great diversity of people. Everyone friendly, happy. My first visit in a long time. Then had a Chai Latte in Rundle Street. Very relaxing day.
We dropped by this shopping street that has many malls. There are lots of choices here like fashion, apparel, food, groceries, electronics and more. It was decorated for Christmas during our visit. It's very convenient as we could find what we needed in one place.
Very beautiful and lively area of the city. Lots of shops and restaurants scattered around the mall. There is a tram stop nearby which is convenient for traveling to and from Rundle.
Very nice pedestrian shopping street. Lively. Everything you could want is here somewhere. It's a nice long walk from end to end
Very easy to get around and a huge amount of shops along and arcades off the pedestrian mall. Pretty much any retail store you are looking for you will find here!
Also has a Woolworths and Coles and eateries is you need them
We visited Rundle Mall and the side arcade where we saw Humphrey B Bear
We visited many shops including Myer & David Jones - there was a super market too and lots of individual shops like cotton on Haiges Chocolates Oricline Bed Bath & Table etc
Quite busy and lots of people out particularly on Friday night
Great place to visit and very easy to get around

Nestled in the vibrant cultural precinct of North Terrace, the Art Gallery of South Australia (AGSA) is a treasure trove for art enthusiasts. Established in 1881, this stunning gallery boasts an impressive collection of over 38,000 artworks that span various mediums including painting, sculpture, textiles, and more. A highlight is its extensive array of Indigenous Australian art alongside significant pieces from the colonial era.
Really lovely museum with great variety of art. Free entry with a very nice cafe too with outdoor garden area. One of many great things to see along that North Terrace street all close by.

All the good stuff in this gallery was almost ruined by one exhibit in the second room I entered: two horse carcasses, headless, hanging by one leg - truly horrible. I quickly left that room and avoided it on my return. Otherwise, interesting and very varied art and design work throughout this large gallery. Gift shop and café available.
We did the 11.00 am guided tour and it was great she was so knowledgeable you could tell she really loved all the art pieces, i especially loved learning about the illusions in the artworks.
We visited this at gallery and we were pleasantly surprised by the extensiveness of the art collection. The place is much bigger than it looks from the outside. We checked in our bags at the cloakroom to avoid any issues. There were many interesting pieces, ranging from historic paintings, sculptures and contemporary Aboriginal art. A recommended place to visit while in Adelaide.
This is a really great art gallery that is free to enter. It has since iconic paintings and sculptures that you can see in my pictures. You probably need a good few hours to see it all.
They have some different pieces not just art which was interesting to see. Tried to ask the information desk about what are pieces not to be missed while visiting and they were very strange about my question? Bizarre staff. There has been exhibitions on that all stopped at the same time so few areas closed and a HELL of noise because people were drilling and got know’s what. Information was very small, sometimes hard to piece to what art piece, then also no further information just artist and date kind of information. Was just ok for me …
Lots of beautiful, captivating fine art, and a restaurant downstairs that had a delicious vegan dish. There's also some modern art which I generally find ugly and off-putting, but a couple of pieces there were visually interesting.
Like most state owned art galleries in Australia this gallery is free to visit. Does not require any advance booking. Great for all ages. It has over 45,000 works of art; including impessionist, realistic, relics, renaissance, modernist, egyptian, interative art. It has the biggest collection of Aboriginal and Torres strait, and pre-colonial works. There is a gallery store and coffee shops, so it's a great day trip. Can get to via public transport, and plenty of streets and garage parking.

This impressive five-story institution houses over four million artifacts, making it a must-visit for anyone interested in Australia’s rich heritage. The museum's extensive collection spans various fields such as biological sciences, archaeology, mineral sciences, and paleontology. Visitors can marvel at everything from taxidermy displays to ancient Egyptian mummies and even dinosaurs!
🏛️Great place for when the weather isn’t good.
I visited the free exhibitions and was really impressed. I loved the part of aboriginal history, as you can learn a lot through different media’s. Maps, videos, auto, games and of course the classic showcase.
The staff were great as well, helpful, efficient and friendly.
I liked the atmosphere, it was quiet and peaceful. It wasn’t full so it was nice to just take your time with the exhibition.
There are plenty of car parks very close to it or you just take the public transport which is also great!
In the museum there is also a cafe, which was full and very popular.
If you are interested in more specific exhibitions then they offer paid admission as well. 25$ to see (currently) the history of the Vikings. I think that’s a pretty fair price.
All in all great way to spend a few hours.

What a wonderful museum Adelaide has !
It's main beauty lies in the fact it's still housed in an old building . There are four levels and a mezzanine and all have well set out displays .
The main museum is free to enter but donations are accepted to help the museum .
The museum hosts speciality displays and these have admission fees . You can go to the museum site to check what is on and admission prices and ticket availability .
We started at the top and made our way down to ground level . You can easily spend 4-6 hours at the museum if you are reading information provided at each display .
Well worth the visit .
Great place to visit in Delaide, especially if the weather is rainy.
The museum is free to visit.
Excellent natural history and aboriginal history collections.
What a great place! And no admission fee! So much for the kids to see and explore. The cafe is a little pricey but you expect that. Beautifully kept and laid out. The kids especially loved the discovery room where they could touch and explore things.
Ideal for a relaxed visit within the city, free entry to some sections in the ground floor, including the one on aboriginals and art. Highly informative. Includes a souvenir shop and cafe.
The Aboriginal portion of the museum is amazing. So much information. Very much enjoyed it.
Overall, well curated across all the floors. You can easily visit multiple times.
I didn’t know what to expect.
It will change your life.
I’m now a fan of Paul Kelly and a follower of the East Kimberly school.
Amazing place.
I could go back again and again, every few days … if I didn’t live in the UK.
The South Australian Museum is a public museum in Adelaide known for its vast collections of over four million natural and cultural heritage items, a world-class collection of Australian Aboriginal material culture, and a leading role in scientific research.

The zoo offers educational opportunities for all ages and is renowned for its captivating animal collection. As one of Adelaide's top family-friendly attractions, it provides an unforgettable day out for animal lovers.
Absolutely wonderful, so many animal experiences to do and I got to feed a cute hippo. Loved it. I will definitely visit again when I go to Adelaide. The cafe has respectable vegetarian and vegan options and there's a water fountain close to the kangaroos. People are so friendly and nice. This is a zoo I'd actually donate to.
Very close to the city and walkable distance too
Darshini — Google review
It was a great experience and the zoo is very well maintained. The giant pandas were resting around 11am, so we couldn’t see them, but the rest of the visit was wonderful. The staff were helpful and friendly, and my daughter had a fantastic time. We were lucky to have the cheetah sitting right next to the viewing glass, which was an unforgettable moment. The meerkats, digging away furiously, put on a fun show. For me, the highlight was the walk through the wetlands as it truly felt like being transported into a real jungle environment. Would definitely recommend to visit at least once. Close to the city. Plenty of paid parking.
The car park for zoo allow to park maximum 4 hours. It is not long enough, but understand is a control of the flow of tourists, ensure all visitors got chance to go in and not crowded of people, so that visitors feel comfortable during the visit.
The admission fee is quite high, but reasonable. Most native animals can find in the zoo. A bonus to the trip, 2 Panda is found inside the zoo, and we witness one of the panda poo poo.... Hahaha.
The zoo is not as big as the one in Sydney or Singapore, but is nice to be there.
There is only one restaurant inside the zoo. Foods and drinks are okay.
The most lovely things is we meet a few volunteer senior work and guide visitors inside the park. So good to chat with them, and all seniors are act professional, patience, warm and nice. A thumd up for them. Wish them all the BEST!
My granddaughter and I enjoyed our visit to the zoo. It’s been over ten years since I’ve been and I was pleasantly surprised by the changes to the design. There is a great adventure type playground which my granddaughter explored enthusiastically. We also loved the overhead animal runs giving some of the tree dwelling creatures more freedom.
Had a work function after hours with a giraffe feeding experience included. Was an amazing experience. Not just the giraffe feeding but the entire function was great. Food was amazing, well presented and tasty. (My partner is a chef, so I can be picky).
Staff were all amazing, remembering people's drink orders and very personable. Well trained and friendly.
Visited on a mild Friday mid November. Excellent facilities, food and refreshments. But vitally the care of the animals and enclosures was exceptional. Easy access throughout and enough to see to fill a six hour gentle meander. Let alone the colony of Flying Fixes right out front!
The highlight of our trip to Adelaide was here at the zoo! The most beautiful and well kept botanic surrounds, an easy walk and accessible for those who need it. A beautiful home for a wide array of animals. Of course our favourites were the roly-poly pandas however there were others who were just cute.
Adelaide zoo is a lovely welcoming zoo. The staff are friendly and in abundance throughout the zoo to help you find displays and answer questions.
The animal displays are well set out , with plenty of viewing access points.

Stadium
Sights & Landmarks
Adelaide Oval is a modernized sports and entertainment venue with a capacity of 53,500. The stadium's distinctive horseshoe shape and unique roof design make it an iconic landmark. Following restoration, the stadium now hosts a variety of national and international sports events, as well as concerts and functions. The restoration aimed to preserve heritage elements while incorporating modern materials that complement the city's architecture.
Adelaide Oval is easily one of the best venues I’ve ever visited. Every time I’ve been there, it’s been an incredible experience.
The atmosphere is electric, whether it’s for a cricket match, footy game, or a live concert. The crowd energy, the views, and the overall vibe make it something special.
The facilities are world-class, with great seating, easy access, and plenty of food and drink options. The staff are friendly and always helpful, which makes the whole experience even better.
The Oval itself is stunning, especially when it’s lit up at night with the city skyline in the background.
What stands out most for me is how well everything is organised — from parking and entry to crowd management and amenities. Every visit has felt smooth and enjoyable.
If you’re in Adelaide and haven’t been here yet, you’re missing out. It’s not just a venue — it’s an experience. Absolutely the best of the best.

Great location and has an excellent atmosphere. Went for an AFL match and made plans ahead of time with friends and got there very early so we could access seats. Use a walker and found challenges. There were many free parks closer to venue but disability was still on lawn and after the rain getting through the mud was difficult. In the venue there was a good size ramp to access seating and there was disabled areas. Lucky we got there early to access. Prices are high, which is expected. Accommodates more for able body people which is discouraging as it often makes it too hard to frequent locations like this. If I didn't have assistance I would not be able to venture here and enjoy.
Phenomenal Venue!
Adelaide Oval is a Certified Concert Powerhouse!
We attended Adelaide Oval for the first time, traveling over from Melbourne for the massive Metallica concert on Wednesday, November 5th. Yes! You guessed it—we came for the metal, and the venue delivered on every single front.
For an open-air venue hosting such a huge event, I was immediately impressed by the sheer space and layout. Even though the place was packed and absolutely electric with energy, it was remarkably easy to navigate. The facilities and amenities were great, and every staff member on deck for the concert was professional and genuinely helpful.
What truly stood out was the atmosphere. For a massive stadium show, the space felt surprisingly intimate, and critically, the sound was truly METAL! The acoustics were fantastic, making the live music experience unforgettable. 🎸🎸🎸⚡⚡⚡
We loved our entire experience at the Adelaide Oval. It's a world-class venue and absolutely the place to catch a show. Thanks for an incredible night!
Great experience browsing Adelaide Oval and before the Biga+ trade show, over 50+ suppliers and hundreds of visitors from all states, excellent experience and exposure for all brands and suppliers.
Went to Metallica concert at Adelaide oval. Great oval with wonderful views of the ground from every seat. Great signage to get you to your seat
Adelaide Oval is one of the most picturesque and iconic sports stadiums in the world. Located in the heart of Adelaide, it beautifully blends modern architecture with heritage features.

First time visitor and had a great experience at the new location. I spoke to a few staff about their wines and their future endeavors with the property, and they're keen to improve. The sparkling cab sav and the white shiraz were the most surprising tastes of them all. Never had wines like those before so grabbed a bottle. I can see this place doing really well in Summer and when they expand out into the valley a bit with their proposed outdoor verandah plans, and AirBnB idea.
Been meaning to stop here for such a long time. Today I finally did it. Great food and great wine tasting. The place is cozy and has character. Staff are super friendly and happy to chat. Got a great history lesson about the property and the owners. Do not pass this place without stopping in, even for a great coffee and cake.
Kersbrook Hill is a beautiful little winery. Considering its a small area, they make it work! Great staff and service. We did a wine tasting and ordered some food. The wine was excellent! Food was tasty, easy food for a group of people, like pizzas and cheese boards. I went for my birthday and it was perfect!
Thankyou for having us!
Fantastic tasting as part of a wine tour. We got our own seating area on the first floor with a variety of armchairs. I lost counts of the number of pours but it was at least 7. Very knowledgeable host who explained each of the wines and their story.
Will definitely come back and will try the pizzas next time.
We supplied this winery in good faith, but they still have not paid their invoices despite repeated reminders. Professional businesses honor their commitments — sadly, this one does not. No replies, no explanations, simply ignoring the obligations. If they treat suppliers this way, I’d be cautious about trusting them with anything else. Please stay away from this local business.
First stop from the wine tasting tour. Tried more than 10 types of wine - sparkling, rose, white and red. Very chill and nice atmosphere. There’s a cafe too. Definitely good to come when it’s sunny lovely day.
The service was first class. The owner really looked after us and had us sit down and took the time to explain the different wines and allow all for of us to try what we liked from the menu. The fika Riesling 5 year port and white Shiraz were highlights. I will go back to get the Riesling. They also do an horse wine and pizza experience which I’ll try next year,

Absolutely magical to visit this iconic, six generational family owned winery. Our wine tasting guide Brittany was very professional and a wealth of interesting information about the wines and their heritage. Wines were beautiful, and the decor / set up of the tasting areas worthy of the Henschke brand. Strongly recommend
We had an amazing time at Henschke Winery’s Museum and Rare Experience on May 11. Our host, Jody, was super welcoming and friendly. She showed us the historic Hill of Grace and Mount Edelstone vineyards with some of the oldest vines, then gave a really interesting tour of the working winery. The private wine tasting was fantastic, trying different vintages of Cyril and Stephen's best wines. The Hill of Grace Shiraz was the star, just incredible! The Noble Semillon sweet wine surprised us all, so tasty. The food was awesome, especially the shredded pork dumpling—so delicious and perfect with the wines. Totally recommend Henschke’s Museum and Rare Experience for wine lovers.
Had the honour of doing the Hill of Grace experience with our host Kyra. A unique and remarkable personalised experience learning about the extensive history of this family owned winery for the past 160 years. A rare experience where you are able to walk through the vineyards to visualise the originals vines up close. The passion and dedication they place into maintaining the vines speaks to the meticulously crafted wines that you are able to taste. Kyra our host was warm, personable and engaging whilst explaining the history and the art form of creating wine. Would definitely recommend to all wine lovers visiting the region!
Really classy winery full of so much history. We had Natalie as our tasting guide and she was very knowledgeable and lovely. Highly recommend visit to Henshke when you’re in the Barossa. Book your tasting experience like we did for a guaranteed table.
A few weeks ago, my girlfriend and I were passing through the Barossa Valley and stopped off at this estate for a tasting. It was our first tasting and we loved it. We don't know much about wine, so I won't dwell on the quality of the wines, even though I really enjoyed tasting them. In this review, I'd like to thank the staff for the warm welcome and the passion they passed on to me during the wine tasting. No judgement, just the pleasure of sharing and discovering.
Thank you very much!
A wonderful tour and wine tasting led by Kyra, Sacha and arranged by Craig. Thank you for a very memorable visit
Just did the Hill of Grace experience today. Could not highly recommend it more, what a lovely personal journey. We toured the vineyards and had our own personal tasting curated by the wonderful Kyra, who was so knowledgeable. The 2008 Hill of Grace is drinking beautifully now - I think could be Australia’s greatest wine. Don’t miss it folks

Beautiful gardens, luxurious rooms in 1800s buildings, king bed, spacious, sunken spa, on grounds with Moorooroo park vineyards on-site, so many wineries close by, great restaurants in Tanunda and Nuriootpa. Enjoy a BBQ with great meat from Nuriootpa co-op, beside the fire pit. They cover ever detail to make it an enjoyable stay.
A beautiful retreat to stay at. There are four separate cottages on beautiful grounds. The grounds have numerous fountains, swimming pool, barbeques and fire pits.
Our cottage has a king size bed, and bathroom has a large shower and a sunken spa.
Tea and coffee facilities in the room.
Quiet, spacious, beautiful surroundings.
Well worth the stay
This was/is a special place. So quiet, just gorgeous setting. I would come back here in a heartbeat. The one thing I would have wanted to know is the nearest restaurant is in town so plan on driving 8 minutes for dinner. That being said, I hit foodland and enjoyed having my own meals after some wine tasting. The BBQ facilities were great. The beauty of the property is indescribable. I hope to return
Rustic isolated cabin for escape and rest. Loft bedroom could challenge physically but large spa tub and cozy setting make for nice getaway outside of Tanunda. Long(ish) walk to Rockford and Charles Melton but adjacent to Woorooroo tasting room.
We had a wonderful stay in the Orchard and Seville Suites in Jacobs Creek Retreat for 3 nights in late Sep, 2024. The suites were beautifully decorated and surrounding gardens were stunning. Jerry was highly responsive and most helpful in sharing local tips. At sunrise, we saw kangaroos near the vineyards behind the retreat which was amazing! On our final evening, Jerry made special arrangements in the Orchard Suite for us to dine in style. All in all, I highly recommend the retreat as it’s very charming and zen and in close proximity of the town of Tanunda where we found lovely restaurants. The Barossa Valley has so much to offer and staying somewhere like Jacobs Creek Retreat made our experience that much more special.
We highly recommend this amazing place.
This cute quiet out of the way accommodation, was everything we were after and more.
We booked the Fuschia suite for our first wedding anniversary getaway. I requested some extra goodies as a welcome surprise , we were met with some cute local products . I appreciate that gesture so much.
The rustic charm suite had all the amenities we needed including a lively spa bath.
Highly recommend this place and will be back in the future.
My friend went for tasting Wine. Limited food choices. The Host were good. But the wines were not to his plater

Rockford Wines
Mentioned on
Winery
Food & Drink
Rockford Wines is a historic stone building that offers sales and tastings of locally made wines, as well as sauces and chutneys. The winery features traditionally made, small-range wines, including reds from smaller labels like Teusner, Langmeil, Kalleske, and others. Visitors can witness the wine-making process and even see grape vines being shoveled into an antique grape de-vining machine. The staff is knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the wines they offer.
This Winery was so good, it ruined it for all the others! Small, intimate winery made traditionally meant every type was smooth, easy to drink, and just delicious. You can absolutely taste the difference between Rockford Wines and other local mass-produced wines. Free wine tasting was a bonus, and staff were very knowledgeable about the grapes and whole wine making process. Highly recommended.

One of the cutest and most welcoming wineries we went to in the Barossa we had a great time with the hostess, loved the wines and the decor. Recommended !
Went on a Tuesday. Gorgeous place and vibes. Wines are impeccable. Light and tasty and the basket press is unique and definitely needs to be tasted. The highlight though was the service. Blonde lady with a slight UK accent served us and she was just amazing. Made the whole thing come together like a good wine and cheese.
Rockford Wines is a Barossa is such a gorgeous place to visit to try the local wines The beautiful stone buildings create such a charming setting, but what really made the visit special was our host, Sienna. She was very welcoming and her knowledge of the wines and the history of the region turned the tasting into a personal and memorable experience.
For 25 years I’ve always said If I had a weekend to live I’d spend it at Alain Ducasse’s Bastide de Moustiers in Provence (scoffing down the Truffle gnocchi). Having now had my first Stonewallers lunch, I’ve revised my desired last moment to be sipping Black Shiraz in front of the fire in the Rockford Cellar door (after lunch). Stellar wine, made and shared by stellar people in a setting to die for ( but not just yet) 😊
Rockford Wines is always on our Barossa winery hit list. The staff are always amazing and genuinely love what they do and the Rockfords ethos. Excellent wines and a beautiful cellar door.
A MUST STOP winery in the Barossa.
Absolutely fantastic, unique and wonderful winery. Kris ran us through a free tasting of their 10 wines. She did a fantastic job and was very knowledgeable, friendly and kind.
The winery itself was beautiful, we were there in May so couldn’t see everything functioning. However, come from on Feb-April and you will see it all in full working order. It’s incredible. The old buildings and autum leaves were INCREIDBLE.
All their wine was delicious and we ended up buying a few bottles!
If you in Barossa you Must visit this Gem! Staff is very helpfull, friendlyand they know about their wines! They have about 11 wines to taste and best amazing thing is their wine tasting is complementary!! Good location for photos with all the autumn colors and old buildings! We ended up buying 3 different wines and we LOVE their 2019 Shraz VP!!

Chateau Tanunda is a historic 19th-century winery in Barossa, with guided tours and tastings. The estate boasts beautiful gardens and a cricket oval, making it an ideal spot for a picnic. Its rich history dates back to the 1840s when Prussians first migrated to the Barossa. Visitors can enjoy scenic routes from Tanunda to Angaston via Bethany, offering stunning valley views.
Lovely visit. This place was the biggest winery in the Barossa valley. The staff was able to accommodate us for a nice tasting session. We learned a lot interest facts about wine and grapes in this region. Not normally a fan of wine but I found some wine I liked here. The cellar was also a bit of a museum. Lovely team members here helped us through everything. The front of the building faces the valley plain which boasts a superb view!

About an hour's drive from Adelaide, this vineyard is great for wine lovers and even if you are not, you can head over for a detailed explanation on how wines are made and have a wine tasting experience.
What I liked about this Chateau was that during the class where they shared about their wines, every attempt was made to help you appreciate their products, and they even provided coloured notes for you to keep, after their guided tour.
A recommended vineyard to visit.
This is absolutely stunning!!!! A must see if you’re in the Barossa. The chateau is beautiful… the hounds are stunning… and the cellar door is opulent.
We opted for a tasting and our host Rachel was fabulous… she explained the wines in detail and gave us a history of the chateau which was fascinating. You absolutely must put this on your list to visit in the Barossa, there are a lot of “commercial” wineries in the Barossa, but this one was an absolute standout for us. Great service and amazing overall experience.
We loved the Tawny, shiraz ( old vine)
Shame they don’t promote themselves on trip advisor etc… but maybe they’re happy enough with the number of visitors they get .
We made a quick stop here and opted for the Explorer Tasting. The staff member looking after us was incredibly generous, expanding the experience to include sparkling, several Shiraz and port options, and even some whites. While the overall style wasn’t exactly to my taste, we did find a couple of reds and a port we really enjoyed and took a bottle or two home. The premises are impressive, and the staff are both knowledgeable and welcoming. Definitely worth a visit.
We had an excellent experience at Chateau Tanunda. The private tour and tasting was well worth it and we were delighted by our guide, Roslyn, who was charming and well-informed about both the wine and history of the site. The wines were exquisite too. A must do in the Barossa Valley!
This place is visually stunning and well maintained. We sampled a few tasty wines and ended up buying some. Staff were super friendly and knowledgeable. Highly recommend visiting if in the area.
Nice and beautiful place. Historical, Typicity and quality wines producing in Barossa Valley.
Current Prime Ministet of Australia Mr. Anthony, current China President Mr. Xi and previous US PM Mr Obama did drink the wine produce in here. There is picture in the the wines tasting area to prove it.
The staff is well trained and familiar with the wines. They introduce the wines one by one while you taste it. Personally recommend to taste those award winning wines. It is rather enjoying and delight, you definite will find one that suit you.
Beautiful old winery. Great selection of delicious wines. Cute little croquet set up outside. Stunning old building.

St Kilda Mangrove Trail

National reserve
Nature & Parks
Nature & Wildlife Areas
St Kilda Mangrove Trail offers a 500m boardwalk journey through a flooded mangrove forest, tidal salt marshes, and sea grass channels. The trail is adjacent to the Adelaide International Bird Sanctuary, providing an opportunity to observe migratory shorebirds. Although the walk is less than an hour round trip, it may not be suitable for young children due to its narrow path without handrails. Visitors can enjoy scenic views from the lookout platform at the end of the trail.
A different escape from the mountains and the sea . The mangroves. There are mosquitoes all over the mangrove forest so mosquitoes rescue cream is a must. The trail is really long so bring your own water bottle. There are tiny fishes allover the marshy areas. The sands are weirdly white.
Maliha M — Google review
An amazing place that will not disappoint you.
Tips 1: You need to go to a convenience store near the playground to get a pass before you enter.
Tips 2: Although there are no flies, there are many mosquitoes, so pay attention to mosquito prevention.
Tips 3: Only the first half can be visited. You can no longer walk from the small house. The whole journey takes about 30 minutes.
It’s not opened! Don’t go! There is no NOTICE on the sign, so we went to the Tackle and Tucker shop to get the key as stated on the sign. However the shop manager told us this trail has been SHUT for 6 months due to safety reasons! And they’ve asked the council to put a proper sign at the entrance. However it’s still not happening.
Still unable to access full loop due to boardwalk needing repair but we still thought it was ok & scenic. I went with my 3yr old son and as the forest turned green, parts of the walk got a little slippery so hold little ones hands and get them to slow down. Some pretty spots hidden throughout and could see small fish swimming in the shallow waters which my son loved. Toilets available near main entrance.
Very quiet and beautiful trail through the mangroves. Unfortunately they haven’t repaired the boardwalk, so The trail only goes to the lookout and return the same way. Before you arrive make sure to ring the tackle shop to see if they are open so you can collect the key from the shop. It can be closed as the tide goes over the boardwalk.
Great short walk, less than an hour return. Single path to the end then returns. There are toilets at the entrance and a small place with info of the trail not far from it. The view from the end platform lookout is really nice. Very peaceful, birds everywhere. Not suitable for little kids as the boardwalk is narrow and doesn't have any fence or handrails.
We had a good time at the trail. We needed to pick up the key and leave a deposit but all fairly easy. The first part was a bit burned/dead (?) but the remainder was very green. Good time.
This is a very special mangrove forest on the offshore marsh. It usually closes at 4pm. For access gate keys are available from Trackle and Tucker Kiosk. It is about 600 meters away from the entrance of the Mangrove Trail. It is best to carry anti-mosquito items before going in, because there will be many mosquitoes inside. The parking lot is near the entrance. A beautiful pink lake is next to it.

St Kilda Adventure Playground

Playground
Nature & Parks
Nestled in the charming seaside town of St Kilda, just a short drive from Adelaide's bustling CBD, the St Kilda Adventure Playground is a must-visit for families seeking outdoor fun. This expansive play area boasts an array of attractions that will delight children of all ages. From thrilling slides and a bouncy boomerang to basketball courts and BBQ stations, there's something for everyone to enjoy.
St Kilda Adventure Playground in South Australia is a fantastic spot for both kids and adults, and it's my son's favourite place, especially for its amazing pirate ship. The playground offers a wide range of attractions including slides, swings, and climbing structures, all set amidst beautiful scenery near the waterway.
It's perfect for families to gather and enjoy a day of fun and laughter, with plenty of space for picnics. Convenient facilities like nearby toilets and a large parking area make visits stress-free. I highly recommend it as a wonderful place where community spirit and joy come together.

Big, really really big. So much space. The playgrounds are also massive. Huge slides, swings, ropes climbing, and other play equipment - including a giant pirate ship on the sand!
Great day out *if you are prepared*.
If you're going, don't question this review, just do it. Ensure you bring:
1. Hats / umbrellas / sunscreen (no shaded areas).
2. Your own big cardboard box (for the massive metal slides - an absolute must!).
3. Picnic rug, food, and water (no benches really to sit at, eateries close by, or water you could confidently trust to drink - but plenty of nice grass).
Do all of this and you'll have a good time!
Great fun for the family , go on all the playground things then finish with a BBQ that is supplied , just bring your food to cook and your in for a fun day 😊
Really good place for small picnic. Specially kids will love it. Lots of slides and swings.
Families can do small gathering over there to see good sun set.
St Kilda Adventure Playground, located approximately 45 minutes north of Adelaide’s CBD, is a standout destination for families seeking outdoor fun. Established in 1982 and extensively refurbished in 2016, the playground spans four hectares and offers a diverse range of attractions suitable for children of all ages.
A classic. I came here when I was a kid. It was a little more daring than it is now but it's much nicer and family friendly. Usually well maintained and keeps the kids busy for a few hours.
Great place to bring kids lots and lots of playability, plenty of seating and would be a great place for a family picnic.
I enjoyed using the playground even though I am not a child. I think a safety strap would be a good addition to the Flying Fox as well as a rope to drag it back up the hill.
Sacks would be useful to be provided for the slides because I stopped prematurely due to the friction of my jeans.
More seats should be provided and especially under the shade of bushes.

Seppeltsfield Wines is a long-standing wine estate in Barossa Valley, known for its airy tasting room, tours, restaurant, and picnic area. The estate features a brand new cellar door complex with excellent restaurants and offers unique experiences like winery tours where you can taste wine from your birth year. Visitors can also explore the vineyard areas on Segway tours for about an hour to enjoy scenic photo opportunities.
It was a recommendation from my sister in-law to my wife that we had to visit here with our friends on this trip. This is definitely a beautiful place, we first had a quick bite and the cafe then attended the wine tasting. Our host was Russell and he was magnificent. After I advised him that I don't drink wine so there was only going to be 3x of us tasting wines, he offered their excellent cordial. So it was just my Mrs and our friends going to taste their wines. Myself together with our friends younger son were going to drink the Cordial. I was impressed. The wine tasting went well, we left with 3x bottles and our friends with 2. One of ours was the Cordial. We will def enjoy this.
Nick Z — Google review
A lovely place to try 10/10 wine and walk around. Marcus was knowledgable, kind, and welcoming. Definitely recommend to anyone in the area- worth the drive from Adelaide.
I did the luxury wine tasting and it was excellent. We sampled four wines, along with a wine they classed as an “old fashioned,” which was a lovely surprise. The reds were the highlight for me I could have easily walked out with several bottles! Next time, I’ll definitely book into their restaurant, which offers a set four-course menu.
The venue also has a small gin distillery and a wellness centre with handmade soaps and skincare products, which I’d love to explore more on my next visit. The scenery and buildings are beautiful, easy to get to, and the staff were exceptionally friendly and welcoming.
Highly recommend visiting I’ll definitely be going back.
Absolutely loved this winery … the estate is absolutely beautiful and plenty to see and do. Ideal for families and couples!
Shoutout to Russell… he was extremely knowledgeable in the tasting rooms and we really appreciated his expertise and friendly attitude.
I had a wonderful experience here with the team. Hannah and Marcus were absolutely fantastic and have extensive, very technical knowledge of their wine and the winery.
We had a fantastic tasting experience with Russell yesterday. He was warm, welcoming, and incredibly knowledgeable, making the whole experience both informative and enjoyable. What really stood out was his passion and the way he shared the stories behind the wines. A highlight was being shown into the cellar where over 100 years of port is stored—an unforgettable moment. Highly recommend a visit with Russell if you want a truly memorable tasting.
A must visit if you are wine touring South Australia. We booked the Great Terraced Vineyard tour and the Seppeltsfield Fino Signature Experience. The first experience took us through different parts of the estate and vineyard to understand the history and mechanics of winemaking. Our guide was very kind to tailor the wine tasting to be a more academic one that contrasted different vineyards and vintages. The second experience took us to the centennial cellar to taste their 1925 tawny that was directly drawn from the barrel. After that, we enjoyed a long, relaxed, and delicious lunch with wine pairing at Fino. Highly recommended.
Really enjoyed this place. We were there for the fortified. The young man that served us was knowledgeable, very friendly. He really cared about our experience. Took the time to share his knowledge, making sure we had enough information to make an informed purchasing decision. We bought 6 bottles to be delivered back to Melbourne. Delivery was quick.

If you're planning a trip to the Barossa Valley, make sure to include Segway Sensation SA in your itinerary! This thrilling experience at Seppeltsfield is perfect for both beginners and seasoned riders. The friendly guides, Shane and Jonathan, provide an engaging mix of historical insights and fun as you glide through the stunning vineyard landscapes. With a brief training session before the tour begins, you'll quickly gain confidence on the Segway.
Awesome time, took a little while to get my confidence but once i got used to it, they were so much fun. They allow you 15 minutes before the full hour tour for training and to allow you to get used to the Segway. They then take you for a tour of the winery finishing up out in the vineyards where you can really open up the segways and admire some of awesome views at the top of the hill overlooking seppeltsfield, they also allow you about 15 minutes of free time where you can have some fun within reason!!!. The tour guide was really friendly and knowledgeable as well

Very nice experience. So much fun and lovely ride with two amazing, friendly and patient instructors.
It is a great chance to explore the area and learn about the history of how and when the area started to look like this.
Highly recommended.
This tour is a must-see item on any itinerary in the Barossa. We were already very excited before we went, but it exceed our expectations even more. Shane and Ben were excellent tour guides, blending the perfect mix of historical facts about the property and getting the most fun out of the ride. There's no better way to tour
Seppeltsfield!
My wife and I planned a trip to the Barossa for a few nights. When we arrived in the Barossa this was the very first thing we did hoping that it would kick start a great time and we were not disappointed! In fact the segway experience exceeded our expectations. Doing the experience at Seppeltsfield is such a great way to kick start any trip to the Barossa! Not only are the Segways thoroughly enjoyable but the tour operators Shane and Jonathan were incredibly friendly and knowledgeable.
Coming from NSW we didn't know what to expect visiting the Barossa but the Segway tour really highlighted what the region was about which is more than just wineries but also great history. We learnt a lot about the incredible history at Seppeltsfield and the area and during the tour had some great photo opportunities within the vineyard itself and also a few great photos with some of the heritage listed buildings (all which you cannot see at Seppeltsfield unless you do the Segway tour).
Thank you Shane and Jonathan for allowing us to have a great time and being so friendly and considerate! As customers we really felt valued from your excellent custer service. You both helped us feel at ease to operate the Segways and we had an absolute blast! Overall you helped make our trip enjoyable and one to remember!
Fantastic fun highly recommended. Great staff who provide individual training allowing anyone to ride a Segway. Tour of Seppeltsfield winery very interesting & now want to do the other tours they offer.
Went on this tour with family visiting from interstate. Had a blast! Great way to see the Seppeltsfield vineyard, the operators were professional and friendly, the Segways themselves are easy to get the hang of - don't be afraid, give it a go! Highly recommended!!
Segway Sensation Seppeltsfield is a great place for first timers on Segways. I went with my partner in March only to come back again with our sisters in August. The host was very informative, friendly and made sure everyone was safe and didn’t fall behind. For those who have never been on a segway before, I highly recommend giving it a crack starting with Segway Sensation in Seppeltsfield! I have yet to try the other 2 Segway trips in Adelaide but I’ll be trying them soon!
Had a great time on the Segway’s today! The team are knowledgeable on the history of Seppeltsfield as well as taking extra steps to ensure everyone felt comfortable on their Segway’s and has a great time! If you’re a beginner, the Segway’s are very easy to learn, don’t be scared and give it a try!

Really enjoyed visiting this winery in December 2024, just before New Years. My wife and I visited as part of a small winery tour.
The setting was beautiful. The wine was very good and we had a lovely platter to share. Very picturesque with a hint of romanticism.
Well worth a visit.
What a stunning location this is. The platter we had for lunch was simple but plentiful and tasted amazing. Cold meats, assortments of cheeses, olives, bread and crackers and more....oh and hot home made sausage rolls.
The wine was worth the tasting, went lovely with the foid.
The host and staff were all attentive and friendly.
2025 - Murray Street Wines balances between modern style and old-school charm. The tasting setup both indoors and out is sleek and paid, but the complimentary cheese board is a nice touch. Staff are genuinely friendly. Dogs are welcome on the lawn, which overlooks rows of vines that seem to stretch forever. The place is beautifully laid out, with the front gate adding a bit of wow factor. Would love to come back in summer, ideally with a glass in hand and some live music to round it out.
Absolutely a must to visit! Would’ve given a 10 star if we could. Catered to my food allergies and bent over backwards to accommodate! Staff were outstanding and knowledgeable. Setting was beautiful and the wines some of the best in the region!
What a lovely, serene establishment.
Great staff, amazing wines.
Really enjoyed our short spur of the minute visit.
We will be back for a longer one in the future.
Glen, alongside Helen and Olivia, welcomed my partner and I into the tasting room last Sunday for the Estate tasting and a comprehensive charcuterie.
Glen facilitated a relaxed and interactive tasting and was beyond accommodating (he stayed late to see our experience through!!) I’m a cab sav girl, but the Aria Shiraz bested some of my favourites—this was prior to tasting Va de Vie which had me in near tears (it won).
The surrounds are stunning, especially the stone structures and bright vines against an overcast sky. Smell the roses if you can.
We took advantage of the membership offered by Murray Street Vineyards and I left with a very special bottle. Thank you Glen for your expertise, Olivia for your generous platter, and Helen for settling our membership & order.
Dropped by Murray Street for a tasting with my partner and had a fantastic time. Connor was outstanding—warm, knowledgeable, and genuinely engaging. He guided us through each wine with clear insights and great stories, making the whole experience relaxed and enjoyable. My best recommendation: ask for Connor. We’ll definitely be back.

Martindale Hall is a stunning sandstone manor in Georgian style located 3km south of Mintaro. Built in 1880 for young pastoralist Edmund Bowman Jnr, the manor features original furnishings, an ornate blackwood staircase, and a museum-like smoking room. It served as Appleyard College in the film 'Picnic at Hanging Rock.'

This beautiful manor house is a WOW. The expense when built was amazing and the later owner had it looking amazing. So pleased it has been preserved. Make sure you read the room description notices.

A place stuck in time, very picturesque and well kept. Beautiful destination and a good motorbike ride there thru the Clare Valley. Will be returning and introduce others to its charm and character. Very soothing to the soul.
EXCELLENT, was quite cold inside, but was good to find out a little bit of information about my great grandfather who was the station manager for W.T. Mortlock. Highly recommend coming here to have a look around while you are at Monaro or even the Clare Valley.
This place is fabulous. The $20 / $22 entry fee is well worth it. The upkeep must be colossally expensive. What a treasure to have available for everyone to admire. We are so incredibly lucky it’s open to the public. And I was especially lucky to get in on a Tuesday as a luncheon event meant they were open. Previously posted photos give a very good idea of what’s to be expected.
Loved this place, fantastic old home in exceptional condition, amazing what they could build in a remote location all those years ago. A home with a very interesting history, told to us be some very knowledgeable people. Highly recommend if you are in the Northern Barossa Valley.
A must see. The history of the property and collection of authentic artefacts was mind blowing, not to mention the grandeur of the building. To think that it was built in the 1800’s in just 1 year by a crew of English artisans and trades was incredible.
A Grand Hall showing off our past with pure splendor. It is beautiful beyond words and to see all the magnificent heritage furniture etc was lovely. A must see if you can.
Congratulations to the volunteers and all those who help maintain and run it.
Great to see how they lived back in the 1800,s The place is still in pristine condition and was amazing to see everything from that era on display, well worth a visit.

Unique place ideal for a family outing (or chess players looking for a unique spot to play). There isn’t a huge variety of things to do, but if you take your time, explore, and play the quiz and assorted games you can happily stay for a couple hours and keep the kids occupied.
Leigh H — Google review
Sad that they are closing down. It's tougher than you think and the side games are more interesting than I imagined. Worth the drive from Adelaide.
Goodbye and thanks!
This is an amazing maze built with plants. While exploring the maze, you can also complete the tasks on paper given by the staff. In addition to the maze, there are many interesting small games here. When children are playing, adults can buy a cup of coffee and snacks to relax comfortably.
We came with just two adults (one with childhood memories of Mintaro Maze and one without.) We both found our visit very enjoyable! We took our time and discovered as many surprises as we could. The games and activities provided are a nice bonus too.
$20 per adult may be a little on the pricey side, but we felt it was worth the price for the fun we had and especially knowing the money goes towards a local attraction with a long history.
Went to this charming little place with my 4yr old son who got abit nervous when he realised the Maze wasn't as straight forward as he expected (poor thing) but he really enjoyed the small games scattered throughout the remainder of the garden. We probably stayed for approx. 90 minutes all up.
Went expecting to get a coffee and have a quick walk A$18 C$10. Stayed over an hour for the puzzles, games and quiz throughout the garden and maze. Had a great time.
Be aware is not free, 18 dollars person person. The maze is not that big you can do it all in 15 minutes. It is really nice garden and very well taken care. It is a tourist spot so they can charge anything but once you done you will never go back.
Worth a visit for the whole family or the romantic couple date. There is plenty to keep everyone entertained.
Entry fee applicable at the cafe before entry to the grounds.
The maze & premises is smaller than anticipated so don’t fear, the little ones won’t get lost.
Cafe offers good coffee & adult refreshments, lucky dips ($8) for the kids, plenty of games outdoors aside the maze to keep the kids entertained.
We even spotted rabbits on the grounds which was a pleasant surprise for the little ones.
Keep your receipt of entry as if you will receive discount entry fee to Martindale Hall.

Raining today, so we looked at reviews for a dog friendly winery, and Kilikanoon had fantastic reviews. We arrived to it being very busy (a good sign), but the staff, especially Nicole were fantastic. Our dog was well petted and even was asked if he could have a treat. The “Adventurer” package was great. Very good value for money and lots learnt. We each bought a bottle of wine and if you can stretch to the 2019 Tregea 1998 reserve superb!!!! A very enjoyable “wet” day. Thank you xx
It’s always such a delight to come to Kilikanoon.
The venue is very pretty.
The staff are very friendly and quite knowledgeable regarding the wines and the region.
But the wines are the absolute highlight.
From very reasonably priced everyday quaffers through to absolute super premium (best Shiraz in the world *twice* no less!) you’re sure to find something for every palate and level of wine enthusiasm.
Defiantly put it on the list if you’re visiting Clare!
My humans visited today and kept raving about the hospitality and knowledge of Carmen, the Assistant Cellar Door Manager, who took them through an amazing flight of the wines. Thank you for making them so happy Carmen and representing the K wines so well! We will come in ourselves next time but today we were too sleepy to leave our warm car. 4 paws for being dog friendly and so welcoming! Big licks from Geo and GJ the Chocolate Labrador explorers.

Off to a bumpy start as they weren’t expecting 8 of us despite my phone reservation, however all was handled with aplomb and professionalism & we all enjoyed a glass of champagne outside whilst things were sorted.
Our host for the event was Carmen & we couldn’t have asked for a more bubbly (pun intended) and attentive host despite her tending to us as well as other guests, and even when under the pump her ability to keep smiling and attention to everyone was exceptional.
No request was a bother and Carmen did true credit to Kilikanoon on the day.
We all left more the wiser in wines, more the merrier with all the tastings, and more the poorer in the hip pocket.
A big thank you for Kilikanoon in providing us with a truely memorable experience and to Carmen for ensuring it was one for the ages.
Michael & Annie.
Fantastic Revelation tasting this morning with Carmen!
Kilikanoon always impresses!
New Cellar door manager greeted us and was brillant from the start.
Her knowledge of the vineyard and the wines was extensive. She made our morning. The Oracle Shiraz is a must purchase.
The wines were great also purchased a case of mixed wines that we tasted.
Would defianetly recommend this vineyard to everyone.
Thanks 🙂
Another beautiful cellar door in the Clare Valley. Lovely wines. Even though it was busy our tasting was very enjoyable. Nice warm fire.

A great winery to visit with so much history attached to it. The tasting was excellent. Thank you Julian for your hospitality and welcoming nature. Your assistance and hosting made our visit enjoyable. We signed up to the wine club and are looking forward to our first order arriving home in Ipswich to remind us of the experience and location. The church and crypt was fascinating to see and walk through. 🍇 🍷 ⛪️

What a great winery! So much history. Enjoyed the wine tasting. Loved the Pinot Gris - will be ordering some for delivery when I get settled back home.
A special place. We took the self guided walking tour and we were humbled by the simplicity and peace of it.
We are over wineries, but this so much mare than a winery.
12/10 for the two young ladies who helped us at the tasting counter.
Our customers always speak highly of their experience at Sevenhill Cellars in the Clare Valley. As the oldest winery in the region, it offers a unique blend of history, architecture, and outstanding wines. Guests especially appreciate the beautiful grounds, the peaceful setting, and the connection to South Australia’s Jesuit heritage.
At Affordable Chauffeur Services, we often include Sevenhill Cellars in our Clare Valley wine tour itineraries, and it's always a highlight. Whether our clients are serious wine lovers or first-time visitors, they enjoy both the tastings and the rich cultural experience.
Highly recommended for those seeking a blend of heritage and premium wines in the Clare Valley.
The venue was amazing some great history. The staff were fantastic and very knowledgeable about their wines. Worth a visit for the wines and the history of how the vineyard was established
The Seven Hills winery is steeped in tradition, established by the jesuits way back in 1851 and, true to their faith, continuing to this day, making premium wines and topaques. The staff were very friendly and gave me much needed water on my arrival by bicycle after following the famous Clare valley Riesling trail. I was lucky to try a bottle of the Saint Ignatius, an exceptionally smooth and complex blend of Cab sav, Merlot, Malbec and Cab franc. Being on a bicycle I could only leave with one bottle but I savoured every drop!
We had the absolute pleasure of visiting Sevenhill Cellars located in Clare Valley this weekend and our experience with Annika and Matt was great. From the moment we arrived, they welcomed us with genuine warmth and hospitality that made us feel like old friends rather than guests. They have a natural gift for creating a comfortable and engaging atmosphere.
This was my first wine tasting experience in South Australia. We were able to taste a total of ten wines from the inigo [$10]and premium [$30] range along with a platter. We could share our wines within the group, which is great!
Apart from the cellar, sevenhills has plenty to offer in terms of space for outdoor wine tasting, family picnics, bicycle trails, the old Jesuit church with its basement crypt.
Thank you, Annika and Matt, for such a beautiful experience. We will see you again!
This is a non profit winery runner by professionals but owned by the Jesuits. It is just a short ride from the bike trail so definitely a must. Great wine! But most of all beautiful grounds. The church is close by too and has lots of history worth it to visit!

Visited Burra and took the self-guided Heritage Passport Tour. The tour provides a key to access a number of different historical sites with lots of information about each place along the way. The tour is good value for money with lots to see and do. The best part: dogs are welcome! You can visit all of the sites with your furry friend. Staff at the information centre were very helpful too. Great way to spend a day in a historic area. Recommended.
