Pick Your Own Figs to Eat in the Adelaide Hills.
Willabrand Australia has introduced Pick-to-Eat, a new way to enjoy the beautiful fig orchard and delicious fruit at Glen Ewin Estate. From 11am on Saturdays and Sundays you can enter the 12,000 tree orchard to pick and eat as many figs as you can whilst you are there with $20 tickets.
They will also be open over the long weekend on Monday 10 March 2025.
PLEASE NOTE THAT ALL FIGS MUST BE CONSUMED ON GROUNDS DUE TO A FRUIT FLY OUT BREAK IN GLYNDE, AND FRESH FIGS CANNOT BE REMOVED FROM THE GROUNDS.
The orchard is located north-east of Adelaide and takes only 25 minutes travel time from the CBD.
Please note the orchard has five fig varieties that ripen at different times of the season so please enquire to avoid disappointment.
