The Simple Pleasures Guide to Winter

Winter brings forward the simple pleasures missed when warmer months rush by - like stepping from the cold into the warm, buttery air of a country bakery, or walking a windswept trail with only your footsteps for company. Though days move gently, they're full. The city glows a little brighter as light spills across sandstone and music drifts through the streets. Out in the water, giant cuttlefish gather and whales pass the coastline. Nights are made for stargazing, or slipping into a hot bath with a wide view. Food slows - braised, simmered and poured by the fire. This is your guide to winter’s simple pleasures in South Australia.

Festivals & Events

South Australians love to host, and you’re invited. This is a place where people knock-off at five to take the stage by six. Side hustles become market stalls, creative outlets become sold out exhibitions. We are all artisans at heart - cooking, creating, distilling and drumming. That’s why all year round, you’ll find somewhere to come together and celebrate what’s made here. Whether it be seated along tables nestled in a vineyard as we pour you our latest drop, or swapping stories in the stands of Adelaide Oval.

Things to Do

South Australia is home to an abundance of simple pleasures. From standing in the ocean’s shallows as you slurp back a freshly shucked oyster, your tastebuds tangoing with the creamy texture and sweet aftertaste. The sound of shiraz tickling the bottom of a hollow wine glass, the noise thickening as the winemaker continues to pour. Just a drop more, they’ll say, with a small smile and knowing wink. You’ll find things to do that go beyond just a tour or tick box, as locals invite you to taste more, linger longer and dig deeper.
