In the Adelaide Hills you can discover a new boutique winery and sample fresh local produce at a country market. Enjoy the scenic drives or pack a picnic while away in Mount Lofty Botanic Garden. Learn about Australia's native wildlife at Warrawong Wildlife Sanctuary or see the Hills through the eyes of famous Australian artist Sir Hans Heysen at his historic home and studio (The Cedars). Try and spot your first car at the National Motor Museum, or admire the stunning views of Adelaide. Pull on your walking boots and explore the Mount Lofty Ranges on the Yurrebilla Trail or enjoy a round of golf.

For something really special, plan your visit to coincide with one of our great events - the Adelaide Hills Harvest Festival (food and wine), Oakbank Easter Racing Carnival (horse racing), Bay to Birdwood Classic Car Rally, Heysen Festival (arts) or Tour Down Under (cycling).

Drive the region's many scenic routes and you'll find magnificent views at every turn with some of the best cool-climate wines in Australia; koalas, kangaroos and enough cute native animals to melt even the most world-weary heart; and gorgeous places to rest your head at the end of gentle days of discovery.

Just a few minutes' drive down the South Eastern Freeway you will be surrounded by manicured vineyards and market gardens, natural Australian bushland and lush green pastures. Each season offers its own appeal: leafy landscapes ablaze with changing colours in autumn; warm fires and historic cottages in winter; blooms and berries in spring; and cool cellar door retreats in summer.
