Discover Adelaide's Wine and Food
Adelaide is the centre of South Australia's booming wine industry. And the closest vineyard is a cork toss from the city centre.
The National Wine Centre is a showcase for Australia's wine industry and includes a wine-tasting gallery, an interactive exhibit that covers all aspects of winemaking and a working vineyard. You'll find Penfolds Magill Estate in the Adelaide foothills. Drop in for tastings, or join a winery tour - including one about Australia's most famous wine, Grange.
If fresh produce markets are an indication of a city's quality of life, then Adelaide holds the nation's trump card. The celebrated Adelaide Central Market has been trading ever since 1869 when a band of industrious market gardeners first carted their home-grown fruit and vegetables to the market site between Grote and Gouger Streets.
The Sunday morning Adelaide Showground Farmers Market has also opened its gates, with growers and producers from all over South Australia bringing premium foods and goods to the city.
Our climate is perfect for alfresco dining much of the year, and our international influences range from the Mediterranean and Asia. All this makes for a relaxed and high-quality food and wine culture where fine dining, café culture and great pubs and bars mix together. You'll find entire streets devoted to dining.
And any visit to South Australia isn't complete without a visit to Haigh's Chocolates, the only chocolatier in Australia that still imports and roasts their own beans.
