Gumeracha

Tucked in the northern reaches of the Adelaide Hills lies Gumeracha. From this historic hamlet, some of the best Adelaide Hills produce is at your fingertips. Pull up a seat in the old Gumeracha cold store and sample locally made wine, gin and small-batch spirits at Unico Zelo or head down the road to Mt Bera Vineyards where cool-climate wines, lunch and sweeping valley views await. Of course, no trip to Gumeracha is complete without grabbing a snap at the famed the big rocking horse. Minutes away in Cudlee Creek, Gorge Wildlife Park is one of the best family-friendly things to do in the hills. A picturesque drive north into the hills, more local produce is dished up between trellised hillsides and valley orchards at the Inglewood Inn and is best washed down with a Paracombe perry or wine. Venture further and explore Birdwood, a mecca for car enthusiasts and home to the National Motor Museum and the final destination on the classic and vintage car event, Bay to Birdwood.
