Famils

Operators within the Adelaide Hills are offering Convention delegates the choice of four famils on Friday, 17 October. These famils will provide you with an opportunity to explore more of this amazing Region. Keep reading to find out more about each famil.

Agritourism Heroes of the Hills Famil


The Adelaide Hills region is sometimes called ‘South Australia’s food basket’, but it might be more accurately called the state’s ‘gourmet hamper’. Thanks to the region’s gentle climate, deep soils and closeness to metropolitan Adelaide, its orchards, dairies and market gardens have been thriving for more than a century. Many of these market gardens and orchards have also been transformed into premium cool-climate vineyards with outstanding cellar door offerings. Join reputable tour operator, See Adelaide to experience a taste of the Agritourism Heroes of the Hills, focusing on the iconic brands of Beerenberg and Jurlique, a cellar door lunch, then heading to the north of the region to experience two boutique style Agritourism heroes who have transformed a pear orchard into a cellar door (Paracombe Premium Perry) and transformed a heritage property into a fig farm (Glen Ewin Estate). Taste and touch the products and learn the stories on how farmers have diversified into Agritourism. To see the breadth of what Agritourism can do for a region on both a small and large scale, this is one not to be missed.
