With a climate described as Mediterranean, the conditions are perfect not only for grape growing but a lot else besides.
A vibrant and charming city, Adelaide fits snugly between gently rolling hills and the ocean, providing the perfect gateway to the State’s delightful regions. With all of the inner city highlights within easy walking distance of one another, you can take in the capital’s energetic blend of urban culture, country town ease and elegant colonial architecture while embracing the laid-back lifestyle that residents here enjoy.
Just an hours drive from Adelaide lies the tour de force of Australian wine making, the Barossa Valley, where you can tour the vineyards in a vintage car, float above the valley in a hot-air balloon, or take a stroll along the real Jacob’s Creek.
Travelling slightly further north, the Clare Valley boasts tranquil heritage towns aplenty, while the 27 kilometre Riesling Tour is a delight for cyclists. Beyond here, the outback awaits amongst the frontier towns and pink desert dunes of the Flinders Ranges and Simpson Desert.
