Adelaide, the Host City
Adelaide and South Australia
Adelaide is a small elegant city fringed with a border of beautiful parklands. Known as the city of food and wine, Adelaide offers the buzz, culture and convenience of a big city without the frustrations. Seriously good coffee and food are never far away. The Mediterranean climate encourages a relaxed and indulgent lifestyle. This is a city of pubs, cafes, restaurants, fine food and wine.
Twenty minutes drive from the Adelaide GPO are
the Adelaide Hills
and the vineyards of McLaren Vale, where you can sample fresh, organic produce, experience the changing seasons and enjoy the panoramic views of the hillsides draped with steep vineyards and orchards. And only an hour’s drive brings you to the Barossa Valley, home of some of Australia's finest wines.
Discover this region's heritage in local restaurants, over 60 cellar doors, galleries and other attractions. Continue your journey slightly further afield to visit South Australia’s other major wine regions – the
Clare Valley,
the Coonawarra and the Limestone Coast.
The Fleurieu Peninsula
sweeps south from Adelaide. This is good wine country with over 60 cellar doors, restaurants and produce outlets. There are well signed conservation parks, and the coastline offers vast beaches for walking, surfing and swimming. From Cape Jervis you can catch the ferry to Kangaroo Island ,
one of the world's last unspoilt wildernesses. One third of the island is conserved in National and Conservation Parks. With 450 kilometres of spectacular coastlines, the island offers rugged and spectacular coastal scenery, secluded beaches, and an abundance of wildlife.
