Things to do in Adelaide Hills, South Australia: The Best Sights & Landmarks

Beerenberg Farm is a "must visit" for all food lovers visiting the Adelaide Hills. One of Australia's oldest family-owned jam, condiment and sauce producers, it is now run by the sixth generation of the Paech family on their Hahndorf farm. Open all year round, 7 days a week (except Christmas Day), the farm shop is open 9am to 5pm. Enjoy a leisurely browse through the complete collection of farm-made products in the delightful farm shop. During strawberry season (November to April), bring the family and pick your own strawberries from 9am to last field entry at 4.15pm. Patch entry is $5.00 per adult (13 years and under are free). Strawberries you pick are then weighed and are $10.95/kg.

The Hills Sculpture Trail features 26 contemporary stone sculptures made by sculptors who travelled to the region from around the world for the Adelaide Hills Sculpture Symposium events in 2012, 2014 and 2016. They carved their dreams in stone as they ground, chipped, chiselled and polished under the gum trees at The Cedars in Hahndorf - the property of Sir Hans Heysen. Most of the sculptures are dotted around the beautiful landscape of the Adelaide Hills, with some in the neighbouring region of the Fleurieu Peninsula - linking towns and regions, art and people, nature and beauty. In the Adelaide Hills sculptures can be found in the following townships - Mount Barker (8), Stirling (3), Hahndorf (2), Macclesfield, Balhannah, Lobethal, Meadows, Littlehampton, Mount Torrens, Nairne, Woodside and Bridgewater. On the Fleurieu Peninsula sculptures can be found in Langhorne Creek, Mount Compass, Milang and Strathalbyn. All sculptures are located on public land and are easy to access.

UKARIA Cultural Centre is perched on the hillside of the Ngeringa property in the picturesque Adelaide Hills just outside Mount Barker. Concerts have been hosted on the property for acclaimed national and international artists since the mid-1990s. In 2014 the modest concert room was demolished and replaced with a magnificent 220-seat concert hall purpose built for chamber music. Great care has been taken to ensure that the new hall has superb acoustics without compromising the spectacular sweeping views to the Mount Barker summit. Leading architect Anton Johnson has designed every aspect of the Centre with the sensory experience of the visitor in mind. Parking bays are nestled into the edges of the garden, and there are multiple entry points that pass through native flora, traditional roses, lavender and other aromatic herbs. Large sculptures, a dry stone labyrinth, shady trees and a water feature compliment the idyllic setting.
