We bought a few to enjoy during the rest of our trip in Adelaide. Fun time, thanks Jason for the suggestion!

I recently attended a wedding at Howard. It was a picnic-themed affair, which meant it was really…read morecasual (think people sitting on the grass or on chairs outside, no formal seating or dinner). The food was passed on trays by staff, but was brought in by an outside caterer, so I won't comment on that. The winery staff were efficient, but not all that friendly. It was a very hot day, so I completely understand that we were all a little uncomfortable, but I really thought that if you are hosting a wedding function, you might like to smile a bit more and be a little more approachable. On the flip side, the wines were lovely and flowed freely all night. Staff attended to requests for refills or wine samples promptly, and the event coordinator who was working with the couple was, by all reports, very helpful and friendly. My partner and I drove back to Howard the day after the wedding to pick up the leftover cake for the bride and groom, and the staff were great about bringing it out to us and asking for feedback on the night before. I'd like to go back to the winery for a wine tasting and get more of a feel for how the place runs on a regular day.

The Golding winery in the Adelaide Hills was a first class experience. I have been to many wineries…read morein SA and Golding is one of the top ten for me. The view is spectacular and the building is both cosy and warm. A truly professional yet welcoming experience. The wine tasting is fabulous - they are happy to bring out some of the more unique wines. And the service is second to none! It feels like you are being both educated and entertained. The quality of the wines are great. They know their stuff! There is a restaurant as well - although we didn't eat there. Next time I will though. I rate Golding very highly. Can't wait to visit again.

The name is a tad corny, giving the impression of a heavily themed venue but rest assured this is…read morenot the case. In actuality Camelot Castle is one of the few remaining quirky, hidden gems of the Adelaide Hills. Still, it is a castle. With loads of stonework and battlements, and inside, a few decorative shields and swords, there is no shortage of character. One aspect of medieval times that could be left in the past is the gloom of the main dining (or banquet) hall. The low lighting does work well with the traditional exposed timbers, but it feels a little like a dungeon when you come in from the bright of outside. The food and drink are excellent, and the house wines whilst looking like cheaply labeled clean skins are a world better than the goon you might otherwise expect. The location is Camelot's best feature. Often when people say hidden, they mean "not many people know about it yet" or "it's just off the main street" but in this case, it is literally hidden. In an orchard filled valley, tucked in against the side of a steep hill, the entrance is only visible for a moment before you're around the next corner. Also, due to the terrain mobile phone coverage is near non-existent, which also affects the accuracy of phone GPS. Don't panic, it's nice countryside to be lost in.
