Australia is a young continent but with a very interesting winemaking tradition and potential.
Its climate, the versatility of the territories are just some of the elements that allow for a constantly growing agricultural entrepreneurship, also inducing many European entrepreneurs to invest in the purchase of vineyard lands.
The Adelaide Hills are among the most generous territories. With more than 90 wine labels and 50 cellar doors, the area is internationally recognized for its distinctive wines, viticulture and breathtaking landscapes.
The region is located in the Mount Lofty Ranges east of Adelaide, the capital of South Australia. It extends in a narrow band about 70km long, the highest vineyards are found between 600 and 650m altitude in areas such as Crafers, Summertown, Piccadilly and Carey Gully.

The Adelaide Hills are one of Australia’s largest geographic wine regions and among the most diverse in terms of climate, soil and topography. The region is made up of two registered sub-regions, Lenswood and Piccadilly Valley.
They are bounded to the north by the Barossa Valley to the south and by McLaren Vale and Langhorne Creek to the south.
