History
The Adelaide Hills developed viticulture in the 19th century with German settlers around Hahndorf; later 20th-century boutique producers refined cool-climate styles.
Conservation
Many estates practice minimal-intervention viticulture and water-conscious practices; stay on marked paths and avoid disturbing wildlife when visiting natural reserves.

Reserve tastings in advance
Many smaller wineries have limited tasting space—book your preferred cellar doors ahead so you don’t miss a visit.
Pace your tasting flight
Sample smaller pours and ask for palate cleansers—four to five stops in a day add up quickly.
Dress in layers for hill breezes
Temperatures can shift between valley and summit; a light jacket keeps you comfortable during outdoor tasting or lookout stops.
Bring payment for tastings and food
Tasting fees and estate platters are often paid on site—carry a card and some cash for smaller producers.
Comfortable walking shoes
Stable shoes handle gravel cellar-door paths and short vineyard walks.
Reusable water bottle
Staying hydrated between tastings is important, especially on warmer days.
