A restored stable in the Barossa Valley, it is attached to the single estate boutique winery. This is one of the restaurants bestowed a Chef’s Hat in 2023 and the food is sourced from in and around the Greenock Creek from the area. A great way to visit the winery and have a sumptuous meal on the surrounding grounds.




Hentley Farm
Get a sip of Seppeltsfield’s 100-year-old wine at the winery established in 1851. While it's mostly a community dedicated to produce from the Barossa Valley, it also houses artisans such as Jam Factory for modern art and Vasse Virgin, a skin and body care brand that uses Australian extra virgin olive oil.




Seppeltsfield Winery
An award-winning restaurant nestled in Seppeltsfield Winery, it features true farm-to-table creations with produce of the region, simply done to bring out tastes and flavours.


Fino at Seppeltsfield
Spend a day strawberry picking at the Beerenberg Family Farm in Hahndorf, surrounded by farms and wineries of Adelaide Hills. After getting your strawberries, you can make your own picnic basket with locally-made jams, chutneys and other produce from the shop. Otherwise, make a pitstop at the café to enjoy its gourmet sandwiches, scones and their popular strawberry milkshake.




Beerenberg Farm
This farm-shop and restaurant in the Barossa Valley is run by Maggie Beer, a chef and judge on MasterChef Australia and The Great Australian Bake Off. Beer’s multi-concept shop is worth a visit if you’re big on local produce and hampers to help with recreating dishes when you’re back home (she shares recipes on her site too). Bookings are essential for the Farm Eatery and, if you book early enough, stay at The Orchard House heritage building for visitors to appreciate living on the fruit-growing land.


Maggie Beer Farm
Helmed by Chef Justin James, it won Gourmet Traveller’s Restaurant of the Year in 2022 for the “flavour combinations” on its tasting menus instead of specific dishes. A must-book if you’re a diner with a penchant for award-winning experiences.



Restaurant Botanic
This New Orleans-style bar takes its support local mandate seriously. Its bar menu features Louisiana classics, featuring fresh Adelaide and regional produce. There’s also an expansive whisky and cocktail menu, featuring signature mixes with bourbon and spices from the south.



Nola
One of the Southern Hemisphere’s largest fresh produce markets, it’s been open since 1869 and houses more than 70 of Adelaide’s traders under one roof – offering a range of fresh food as well as bakeries, cafes and other eateries. You can make a day of it by booking a Discovery Tour with Food Tours Australia.





Adelaide Central Markets
Visit this cheese haven tucked away in the Adelaide Hills where a wide range is made fresh from the factory. Don’t forget to try their cheeseboards (on a tile!) and their famous Truffle Cheddar Toastie. Want to go all the whey? Book a cheese-making workshop. Order a paddle of craft beers from their Grunthal Microbrewery or gins to round off the experience.


Udder Delights
Take in panoramic views from the five-level space built to encapsulate the complexities of winemaking. Each level is designed to excite the five senses such as a virtual fermenter, a 360-degree video room and even an Alternate Realities Museum. The Tasting Room is on the top floor, with panoramic views of McLaren Vale, and the Willunga Hills.
