Notably called the ‘fairy tale’ region, and for good reason, the gorgeous Adelaide Hills full of natural beauty and picturesque views is within an hour’s drive away from the Adelaide CBD. In the Hills lies several beautiful towns—from Aldgate to Stirling to Mount Barker to the oldest surviving Australian German settlement of Hahndorf.  Here you’ll find some of South Australia’s best produce, wineries and some of the most beautiful scenery Australia has to offer (and not to mention some great Foodland stores too!).

Here are our top things to do in the Adelaide Hills…

Have a good old wine time

In the Adelaide Hills, there’s truly a cellar door in every corner.  From Lobethal’s Golding Wines, to Oakbank’s Cobb’s Hill Estate, to Lenswood’s Anderson Hill Cellar Door – whether you prefer red or white, sparkling or rose, the Adelaide Hills wine region has something for you.

Have a family fun adventure!

Looking for kid friendly activities? The Adelaide Hills boasts plenty of them! From picking strawberries at the Beerenberg Family Farm to discovering native wildlife at Cleland National Park to hiking at Kuitpo Forest or picnicking at the Mount Lofty Botanic Garden, rest assured there’ll be plenty to keep the kids occupied.

Car enthusiast? Head to the National Motor Museum in Birdwood.

Love a thrill? JakeM Farm, Rock Solid Adventure, and Mountt Lofty Adventure Hub have you sorted!

Want a learning experience? Hahndorf Farm Barn, Gorge Wildlife Park, and the Woodhouse Activity Centre are the go-tos!

Want to shop til your drop? Markets are a-plenty in the Adelaide Hills! Plus Hahndorf, Stirling’s main street and Mount Barker are a shopper’s paradise.

Explore the main street of Hahndorf

Explore the main street of Hahndorf and you’ll find an array of hidden gems – from gorgeous art to gin distilleries and cellar doors to leather smiths and jewellers. Hahndorf is mighty proud of its roots with its traditional streetscape and artisan food producers. A slice of history built by Prussian settlers in 1839, you can learn more about this historic town at the local museum or by enjoying a guided walk with Hahndorf Walking Tours.
