Few cities can claim to have vineyards on their doorstep, but Adelaide, South Australia’s vibrant capital, is truly one of a kind. Known as Australia’s vineyard capital and proudly recognised as one of the Great Wine Capitals of the World, Adelaide invites travellers to discover a lifestyle where fine wine and fresh produce flow effortlessly together.
Taste cool-climate wines whilst watching kangaroos hop through the vines in the Adelaide Hills just 20-minutes from the city, discover the Barossa’s world-renowned Shiraz less than an hour away, or journey south 40-minutes to McLaren Vale, where sustainable and biodynamic winemaking thrives. With over 200 wineries within an hour’s drive of Adelaide, you’ve found the ultimate destination for wine lovers. Travellers can explore Adelaide’s stunning wine regions by guided bike tour with BikeAbout, join a group tour with Taste the Barossa, or opt for small-group and private touring with specialists like Small Batch Wines.
But Adelaide is more than just wine. At its heart of the city lies the bustling Adelaide Central Market, Australia’s largest undercover market, brimming with local cheeses, artisan breads, and seasonal produce. Book a one-hour tour of the market guided by a local with Flamboyance Tours and enjoy a few samples along the way.
Whether you’re a seasoned wine lover or simply looking for a holiday with flavour, Adelaide is ready to pour you a glass.
