Hahndorf and its surrounds feel a world away from the hustle and bustle of Adelaide city. Make your way along this unique trail featuring the very best of the region and be captivated by the rich natural beauty, history, and some of the best food and wine in the country.

The character of the hills depends on the time of year you visit be it the mists of winter, the red and gold leaves of autumn, or the clear bright sunshine of the warmer months, it is always beautiful. This trail is all about winding country roads, panoramic vistas of vines and orchards, and more historic sites than you can waggle a wine glass at.

The cooler climates make for some outstanding wines. From Shaw & Smith, Australia's Best Shiraz awarded at the London International Wine Challenge, to the iconic and eminently drinkable Sparkling Rose from Bird in Hand, on this day you'll have the

opportunity to taste a wide range of Australia's best and most memorable wines.

From Hahndorfs plentiful array of authentic German cuisine, pubs, and cafes, to the fine dining offered at The Lane vineyard, or the cheesemongers and chocolate factory at Woodside, our trail makes the most of the region's delectable offerings.

Alternatively bring a picnic and recline on the lawn at Shaw & Smith overlooking lush views of lakes, hills and vines.

Plan ahead

Bookings are essential at most destinations so agree with your group the wineries you wish to visit throughout the day. Start with where you’re having lunch, how long you’ll want to spend there, and work outwards from there.
