3. Clare Valley Gourmet Weekend

May 17th – 20th 2019

Round up your foodie and wine-lover friends, because you won’t want to miss out on the Clare Valley Gourmet Weekend this summer. This summer tradition was the very first food and wine event in Australia and after 35 years it still takes place in the premier wine region of Clare Valley, located just north of Adelaide. This region is world-famous for its traditional riesling wineries set against a breathtakingly beautiful country landscape.

During the weekend, more than 20 wineries will be holding wine tastings and providing guests with regionally inspired gourmet feasts.

The easiest way to explore the valley during the Gourmet Weekend is to travel by private bus. Travelling privately allows everyone in the group to enjoy the wine tasting without worrying about designated drivers or directions as you travel between so many locations.

4. Cambletown Moonlight Markets

1st Friday of February and March

Do you find you struggle to beat the Summer heat? Then we have the event for you. On the first Friday of February and March, when the sun starts to set and air begins to cool, Adelaide’s beautiful Thorton Park in Cambletown is brought to life with over 100 artisan market stalls, 15 food vendors, craft workshops, performances and children’s activities.

Dubbed the ‘Moonlight Markets’, this culturally rich marketplace and entertainment venue draws visitors from across the city and surrounding suburbs to explore the unique handcrafted wares, thrilling performances and culinary masterpieces curated by local entrepreneurs.

We believe the markets are worth more than one visit as the stalls and vendors are always changing – you’ll never have the same experience twice and you’ll never know what gems you may find!
