Food & Wine in the Adelaide Hills
At Discover we immediately think of Bed and Breakfast properties when we think of the Adelaide Hills. The range of options for a quick escape is endless and, as plenty of city-dwellers can attest, there's nothing better than escaping from the winter blues by relaxing in front of a roaring open fire up in the hills.
Nature lovers flock to the hills to enjoy the wide open spaces of the many National Parks and a dose of clean fresh air. Enjoy some spectacular views and encounter some charming towns and hamlets by taking advantage of the many Bicycle and Walking trails that criss-cross the region. In Autumn the Hills come alive with every shade of red and gold and you can witness the colours and enjoy captivating fragrances as the many wonderful gardens of the region come to life again in Spring. Taking "a drive through the hills" is a tradition enjoyed by most Adelaide families; and for very good reason!
The Adelaide Hills also boasts many fantastic places to eat and drink which, when combined with an outing to some local wineries, makes for a perfect days outing.
