GRACIOUS NINETEENTH CENTURY architecture, beautiful gardens, luxurious accommodation and a rich cultural heritage combine to make a visit to the Adelaide Hills, only 20 minutes from the city of Adelaide, a must for anyone coming to South Australia.

Food and wine enthusiasts will be delighted by a visit to this region. The Adelaide Hills region enjoys four distinct seasons and a slightly cooler climate than the Adelaide Plains, as such boutique food producers abound and roadside fruit and vegetable vendors are a common sight. The Adelaide Hills has also gained an enviable reputation as one of Australia's largest cool climate grape growing regions, with over 100 established vineyards.
