A Taste of The Hills Festival brings together the very best of the Adelaide Hills for two vibrant days of tastings, entertainment, masterclasses, artisan markets, scenic helicopter flights and more, all set against the stunning backdrop of Lenswood Memorial Park.

Held annually in the heart of the Hills, the festival showcases more than 70 producers, makers and experiences from right across the region. Visitors can stroll through a bustling market lane, enjoy tastings and masterclasses from local wineries and distillers, take in live music, book a scenic helicopter flight, join the annual paint-and-sip masterclass, and settle in for a day of relaxed country charm.

Sunday will once again be the festival’s dedicated Family Day, complete with an expanded Kid Zone featuring arts and crafts, interactive activities, nature play and a playground. With children under 12 free, the day offers spacious picnic areas, food options just for the kids and a laid-back atmosphere perfect for families looking to soak up the best of the Hills together.
