Adelaide Hills

The Adelaide Hills is a short 20-minute drive from Adelaide. Rolling hills, lush Australian bush and a patchwork quilt of modest vineyards makes for one charming scene.

Situated in the Mount Lofty Ranges at an altitude of 1500-1900 feet, this one of Australia’s premier cool-climate wine region.

Ideally suited to early ripening varieties, zippy Sauvignon Blanc, crisp Chardonnay and aromatic Pinot Noir are the benchmarks.
