Adelaide Hills

Picture touring through winding roads, rolling hills of orchards and vineyards interspersed with charming villages less than 20 miles from Adelaide’s city center. This easy-to-access region could not be better placed for a leisurely side trip. Turn down any leafy WHAT TO DO: lane and you’re likely to find a cheese maker, chocolatier, artisanal bakery or craft distiller. Not into seeking missions? Tasting trails link producers throughout the region, and on the weekend you can also find their produce at abundant local farmer’s markets.

WHERE TO STAY:Get back to basics at (cabn.life), an off-grid cabin CABN surrounded by 180 acres of woodland and wildlife. The minimalist accommodation has all the creature comforts but with no wi-fi, it’s the perfect place to unwind and get in tune with nature. WHAT TO EAT: In the village of Uraidla, LOST IN A FOREST (lostinaforest.com.au) dishes up delicious wood-fired pizzas in a cozy former church. Expect irreverent toppings and trendy natural wines from nearby BASKET RANGE and further afield.
