🇦🇺 5 Must-Do Experiences in Adelaide

How to experience the best of South Australia? Here are 5 unforgettable adventures I personally vouch for 💖 1️⃣ Sip Century-Old Port at Seppeltsfield Winery 🍷 The crown jewel of Seppeltsfield is its "Centennial Cellar"—home to every vintage of Tawny Port since 1878, making it a living museum of Aussie winemaking. Even British royals like William and Harry have their own barrels here! ✨ My highlight: Tasted the 1924 vintage (super sweet and thick—not my style), then posed with my birth year barrel! 2️⃣ Citywalk in Hahndorf (Australia's Oldest German Town) 🚶 This charming village preserves its 19th-century German heritage with timber houses, artisan shops, and wurst-filled pubs. Perfect for souvenir hunting! 3️⃣ Cuddle a Koala at Gorge Wildlife Park 🐨 Fun fact: South Australia and Queensland are the only states where koala cuddles are legal! ⚠️ Pro tip: Keep your hands on their bum—no back rubs allowed (the keeper swiftly corrected me!). 4️⃣ Alpaca Kisses & 4WD Adventure at Softfoot Farm 🦙 This farm doubles as a sanctuary for endangered marsupials. We raced emus in a 4WD (they won!), then snuggled alpacas. Verdict: Tied for favorite memory of the trip! 5️⃣ Blend Your Own Wine at d’Arenberg Cube Design a custom bottle at this iconic cube-shaped winery—the ultimate souvenir! (I gifted mine to our awesome tour guide 💝). ✨ Bonus Thrill: Try a flight lesson at Adelaide’s Flight Training Academy (Cathay Pacific’s pilot training base!) ✈️ #AustraliaTravel #Adelaide #KoalaCuddles #HiddenGems #TravelDiaries
