About A Taste of The Hills Festival
Run and funded by a local Adelaide Hills Family who have lived and loved the Adelaide Hills region for the past 40 years. Their love for the Adelaide Hills and their passion for showcasing the region grew from a small dream into a big reality! Catching the eye of the SA Tourism Commission and Adelaide Hills Tourism in their first year in 2023, the event has now exploded into an annual region-wide celebration.
