SINK YOUR TEETH INTO THE BEST OF SOUTH AUSTRALIAN FOOD AND DRINK

When it comes to food and drink, South Australia is a land of plenty. Our producers love to share in what they grow, make and cook - their hospitality a blanketing warmth. You'll feel it when the local winemaker talks passionately about their shiraz, as you swirl it around your mouth with purity. Or when you swallow a freshly shucked oyster, as you stand in the shallow waters it came from. Wherever your stomach leads you — from the unexpected flavours of the Flinders Ranges to the humming bars of Adelaide — you'll feel not just satiated, but catered to. It's these very moments that you'll take home, to share around your own dinner table.

Where to eat in South Australia

What’s the sum of a good meal? The hum of conversation growing louder as you eat, the sea breeze in your hair as you reach over your loved one for a bite, or the contentment that fills you as you take your final mouthful? Whatever simple moment you’re craving, we’ve got it in abundance — from long lunches at a winery, to restaurants with produce that paints a sensory picture.

Where to drink in South Australia

South Australians love the tannic taste of wine, the botanical tang of gin and the crispness of a cold beer — and we’ll travel a distance to discover the perfect blend. With experience finding the best spots, we can help you find your soon-to-be favourite winery or brewery across regions like Barossa, Clare Valley, McLaren Vale, Adelaide Hills and beyond.

New and exciting

Sharing food, tales and the occasional quip with loved ones is our favourite past time – so it’s no surprise South Australia’s dining scene is thriving. Follow in the footsteps of local foodies and try these up-and-coming spots. From cuisine-breaking chefs to wizard mixologists - these are the places where old classics mix with the radical new.

Experiences and tours

Let a local guide you on a cullinary journey of the state. From a wine blending masterclasses to digging your fingers into the soil, harvesting organic produce for a farm-to-table degustation. Take a tour of South Australia’s best food experiences.

Paddock to Plate

Doesn’t food just taste different when it’s fresh? There’s a clarity of flavour you just can’t preserve, or replicate, when it has travelled thousands of miles and spent one too many hours in the deep freeze. In South Australia, it's all about fresh produce grown here. Taste a strawberry picked straight from the patch — still warm from a day in the sun, gooey cheese crafted from hand at local providores and seasonal and organic produce lining market shelves. It’s a pleasure for the senses.

Winter events to warm up your taste buds

Winter invites you to sip slow and share plates. At events that kindle the season, you might find yourself sipping red from the back of a winemaker’s ute or sharing stories passed around like laughter at a long table.
