Adelaide
Adelaide The capital of South Australia. Its central square mile ringed by protective parklands. The gateway to the Barossa Valley,
settled in the main by German Lutheran immigrants and famed for its many excellent wineries. Population 1.2 million.
You may prefer to stay in the Adelaide Hills for your overnight at the Hahndorf Inn where your jovial host has a
sumptuous banquet and a selection of the finest South Australian red and white wines to
offer your table this evening. |
Fleurieu Peninsula
Visit two of
South Australia's finest wine regions - McLaren Vale and Langhorne
Creek. Upon your return to Hahndorf,
enjoy a walking tour of this immaculate German influenced village. The best views of Adelaide can be
seen from Mt Lofty. The Hahndorf Inn is one of the finest, award winning, genuine Bavarian
restaurants in Australia where your jovial host has a sumptuous banquet and a selection of
the finest South Australian red and white wines to offer your table this evening.
Kangaroo Island
Connect with your flight to Kangaroo Island. Spend the day at the Island,
returning late afternoon to Glenelg and the Glenelg (all you can eat) Seafood
Smorgasboard. Can you imagine the finest seafood, lobster, oysters and crustaceans such as
huge sand and mud crabs laid out on a long refridgerated bar for your view. The fare is
mostly local catch, the price is excellent value and extraordinarily good (many very
attractively priced) red and white local wines are on hand. Why not make a late night of
it. Stop by and try your luck at the Adelaide Casino on your way back to Hahndorf.
Clare Valley.
There are now more than 30 cellar doors in the region within a 15-minute
drive from each other. Return to the Adelaide Hills and your home away from
home, the Hahndorf
Inn, for a special Bavaran dinner.
Barossa
Valley
Self drive or luxury coach to visit Tanunda, Eudunda, Kapunda, Nurioopta, and Angaston, the villages of today’s
generation of once German refugees who settled the Barossa Valley over 100 years ago. You
will find wineries such as Wolf Blass, TNT Tolleys, Seppelts, Penfolds and Orlando where
the well known Jocobs Creek red is produced. Many buildings and shops reflect the European
tradition of this region. A winery tour can be organized for you that includes a special
luncheon at a vineyard. Yalumba Wines at Angaston is a must but if you miss it, look to
buy their fabulous Tawny Port, there is few better, excepting the highly prized
Seppelt's Grandfather Port. Return to the Adelaide Hills and your home away
from home, the Hahndorf Inn where you know your host is waiting with fine
food and wine for you.
Coonawarra
A must visit is
a trip or tour to these vineyards at Penola, near the Victorian border, where
you will find and sample world award wining reds; merlots, hermitage, cabinet and savignon
to name a few. A wine tasting session and luncheon can be arranged for you.
Penola is located on a 20' deep sand strata
that is the same strata that supports the famous Melbourne sand belt golf
courses. This excellent drainage plus an
ideal dry climate produces the famous Coonawarra reds.
Kangaroo Kelly's Overview
Kangaroo Kelly says, "In my mind, South Australia produces some of the
best wines anywhere in the land downunder." Most certainly, the Coonawarra reds are world award winners and
the German influence in the Barossa Valley produces very very good table
wines.
