The Adelaide Hills region is located in the southern Mount Lofty Ranges east of the city of Adelaide in the state of South Australia. The variety of its landscapes, the quality of its food and wine, the abundance of its wildlife and the richness of its culture make for an engaging and memorable destination. Although you can be in the Adelaide Hills in just 20 minutes from Adelaide, it feels a world away. The Adelaide Hills has long been a peaceful country retreat for the people of Adelaide.
