I recommend visiting the South Australian Tourism Website first then head to the Wanderlust Chloe website to pull everything together.
South Australia is so underrated. It's food and wine heaven. I was born and go back as often as I can. There is always something new to discover.

This is a great blog! The suggested itinerary ticks all the boxes.

This is my go-to packing checklist. I used it over and over again. If I didn't have it - I would lose my mind.
Travel Packing Checklist
How we got to where we are going
I prefer to fly Qantas but depending on the flight times Virgin is my second choice. I try to avoid JetStar at all costs!
Qantas is the best airlines. The frequent flyer program is great too. With the rare exception the Qantas crew are excellent.
Fly with the Spirit of Australia - Qantas
Our flight is a little over 2.5 hours from Perth to Adelaide.
Virgin Australia
We normally book a Toyota Camry or similar. East Coast Rentals always have a great selection of cars in good clean condition.
East Coast Car Rentals - Hobart Airport
What we did
I love a good tour. If there is an opportunity where I don't need to make a decision - I am there.
If you like food - this is your place. This state takes it's food seriously!
Adelaide Central Market
I recommend booking a tour with this company so you don't miss out on hidden gems like bush meat and green ants!
Food Tours Australia
I've done this tour twice. Once with my husband and once with my then 70 year old Mother. Both tours were different and thoroughly enjoyable. Ben is an excellent guide! So many highlights on this trip.
Off Piste 4WD Tours
I bought a ridiculous amount of small jam jars at this place! We love the Rib Sauces so much!
Beerenberg Farm
Best tour of the Barossa Valley!
Groovy Grape Adventures
Where we stayed
These are my favourite places to stay in South Australia.
On the way to Renmark we stopped here. An easy walk to Tanunda. We had great fun at the pub quiz in town!
Pirathon Country Estate, Tanunda
The view, the gardens, the food, the beds, the accommodation - 5 star all the way!
Mount Lofty House, Adelaide Hills
Beds are so comfortable! Lovely architecture…
Hotel Renmark
Absolutely love staying here and know it will be a new favourite to return to! The hosts are lovely and the home secluded amongst a gorgeous garden. Very peaceful, comfy beds and perfect location to access nearby brewery, the river and a short drive ...
Border Cliffs River Retreat
Such a cute place - just off the main street of Hahndorf.
The Manna Handorf
We are staying here next month - it looks amazing - I'll come back and leave a review soon.
