Any time is a good time to indulge in the natural wonderland that is the Adelaide Hills.

A gently rolling landscape of forests, patchwork vineyards and market gardens combine to guide the visitor on a sensory tour of one of Australia's best kept secrets.

Whether it's a leisurely morning exploring fascinating village markets, a gastronomic tour of myriad boutique wineries and providores, or just exploring the many local attractions, you'll find the magic of the Adelaide Hills shines brightly in all seasons.

Winter time features dramatic storms with lightning forking across the skies; a time to enjoy the warmth and romance of cosy wood fires.

Spring is alive with bright, new, blooming beauty. Mild days and cool nights. Native bird songs punctuate the morning silence.

Autumn brings bitingly crisp and clear days with glorious foliage colours of crimson, burgundy and gold. Long, fine breaks between occasional showers.

Summer days are dry and clear, awash with sunshine and brilliant blue skies, and around three degrees cooler than sea level.
