Have you wondered where the Littlehampton Hills Kitchen, famous for great coffee and amazing brunch, has disappeared to? Well, it’s found a new home in another Adelaide Hills hamlet. The Meadow Bakery first opened its doors in 1986 and has been a community favourite and tourist must-visit spot. Today, Hill’s Kitchen has opened its doors with an indulgent menu, vibrant style, and friendly staff to reopen the bakery and make it a destination once again.

In three decades, I’ve given it a good old crack, but I don’t think I’ve yet to drink more than 4000 bottles. Have you seen The Tank at The Uraidla Hotel? The Tank is a 4000 bottle, floor to ceiling, wine cellar. It spent most of its life as the in-ground water tank. The Tank has been lovingly reinvented as a space that houses some of the best wines from the surrounding Piccadilly region, as well as greater SA, Australia and international wines. Next time you are there, do yourself a favour and ‘get tanked’.

Don’t mind if we do… Champagne, oysters, caviar, and cigars. Sounds like a scene from an old 1920’s Hollywood movie – guys and gals enjoying the VIP attention and exclusiveness of a private affair. With views over the majestic Piccadilly Valley in the shadow of the historic Mt Lofty House, guests at the new outdoor Champagne Bar at Mt Lofty Estate could be mistaken for thinking they were the stars of a movie. Want to know more? To gain access to this very private bar you must book to dine at either the award-winning HRV Restaurant or Martha’s Kitchen. Tell them we sent you.

Millie’s Bakery was a staple in Nairne for 30 years and when it sadly closed its doors, Marcelo and Brad from Pallet Cafe Nairne and HMBL Mt Barker approached Margaret and Kirsty Gilbert with the idea to continue the spirit of Millie’s, but for a new generation – celebrating the past while putting a new spin on the traditional bakery. So welcome Little Birdy Bakery. A super cool co-op bakery made up of more than a dozen of Adelaide and the Adelaide Hill’s best artisanal bakehouses, patisseries, and pie makers.
