Discover Hahndorf & the Adelaide Hills – Wine, Food, and Scenic Bliss
Hahndorf and its surrounding Adelaide Hills feel like a world away from the hustle and bustle of Adelaide city. Meander along this unique trail featuring the very best of the region, and be captivated by its rich natural beauty, fascinating history, and some of the finest food and wine in the country.
Scenic Beauty
The character of the Hills changes with the seasons. Experience misty winter mornings, the fiery red and gold leaves of autumn, or the clear bright sunshine of summer and spring. No matter when you visit, the scenery is breathtaking. Picture winding country roads, panoramic vistas of vineyards and orchards, and historic sites scattered across the landscape—perfect backdrops for wine tasting and leisurely exploration.
Wine Experiences
The Adelaide Hills’ cooler climate produces some truly remarkable wines. From Shaw + Smith’s award-winning Shiraz to the crisp, sparkling Rosé from Bird in Hand, you’ll have the opportunity to sample a wide range of Australia’s most memorable wines. Each cellar door offers a unique experience, combining tasting expertise with stunning surroundings to make every sip unforgettable.
Culinary Delights
Hahndorf is a haven for food lovers. Indulge in authentic German cuisine, explore charming pubs and cafes, or enjoy fine dining at The Lane Vineyard. For a more casual experience, discover local cheesemongers, chocolate makers, and artisan producers in Woodside. Prefer a relaxed afternoon? Bring a picnic and recline on the lush lawns at Shaw & Smith, taking in views of lakes, hills, and vines while enjoying your local delicacies.
