The experience

The tour picks you up from Adelaide and heads into the Adelaide Hills to Gorge Wildlife Park, a wildlife sanctuary set within a scenic gorge where you walk the pathways and watch animals in their natural setting. From there, the route moves to Melba's Chocolate Factory, where you taste handcrafted chocolates and learn how they're made before heading into Hahndorf itself.

Hahndorf is the oldest German settlement in Australia, and the tour gives you time to walk its picturesque streets, browse artisan shops and heritage buildings, and eat lunch at one of the chosen restaurants on the main street. After lunch, the day continues to Beerenberg Farm, a family-owned property famous for strawberry picking and homemade jams, where you can explore the grounds and pick seasonal fruit if you want to. The final stop is Mount Lofty, the prominent peak in the Adelaide Hills. From there you get panoramic views of the city and coastline, with walking trails and gardens if you have time to linger.

Pickup from Adelaide is included, as is bottled water throughout the day and the lunch stop. The pace is steady but not rushed: the operator notes that travel time between venues is built into the schedule. A guide in English leads the stops and provides information at each site.
