Adelaide, South Australia
Adelaide, the capital of South Australia, is a small elegant city. Set beside the Torrens River between the Adelaide Hills and the Gulf of St Vincent. The CBD is a square mile, with gracious colonial architecture fringed with a border of beautiful parklands. Known as the city of food and wine; a place to experience the buzz, culture and convenience of a big city without the frustrations.
A beautiful garden city rich with parks and greenery also offering visitors exciting nightlife, great shopping, fine dining and plenty to see and do. Across the Torrens River, but still within the green belt, sits North Adelaide with its’ bluestone and sandstone Victorian and Edwardian homes.
Adelaide is the centre of South Australia’s booming wine industry and the closest vineyard is a cork toss from the city centre. The National Wine Centre is a showcase for Australia’s wine industry and includes a wine-tasting gallery, an interactive exhibit that covers all aspects of
winemaking and a working vineyard. You’ll find Penfolds Magill Estate in the Adelaide foothills. Drop in for tastings, or join a winery tour - including one about Australia’s most famous wine, Grange.
If fresh produce markets are an indication of a city’s quality of life, then Adelaide holds the nation’s trump card. The celebrated Adelaide Central Market has been trading ever since 1869 when a band of industrious market gardeners first carted their home-grown fruit and
vegetables to the market site between Grote and Gouger Streets.
The climate is perfect for alfresco dining much of the year, and the international influences range from the Mediterranean and Asia. All this makes for a relaxed and high quality food and wine culture where fine dining, café culture and great pubs and bars mix together.
You’ll find entire streets devoted to dining. Any visit to South Australia isn’t complete without a visit to Haigh’s Chocolates, the only chocolatier in Australia that still imports and roasts their own beans.
Delegates to the 2012 TEM Conference are sure to enjoy their time in Adelaide.
