We proudly bring you our annual guide to eating, drinking, staying and travelling across South Australia.
I recently had a friend visit from interstate with an open itinerary and a week to fill. When she asked for advice on where to visit, eat and drink, the possibilities stretched before me.
How do you wrap up the endless experiences South Australia has to offer in a week? Do you head for the vines in our famed Barossa region, or perhaps trip to Clare or spend the week driving the Limestone Coast?
Do you prioritise the beach and lap up the Eyre Peninsula with its bounties of seafood, or the Fleurieu and the simple beauty of its hospitality? Or the relaxed vibes of Yorke Peninsula?
What about the richness of the Adelaide Hills? Or the unique lifestyle that comes with languid time in the Riverland, and in the River Murray, Lakes and Coorong region?
Or take in the rugged beauty of the Outback or Kangaroo Island?
Of course, there’s also time to be spent among our city streets, laneways and suburban areas closer to Adelaide.
Wherever you choose to venture throughout South Australia, you’re getting a special place with unique identity. We really do have it all; there are no wrong answers.
In our SALIFE Food+Wine+Travel 2026 magazine, we explore all of these regions, delving into some of the spots that make each one so special.
Throughout the year, the editorial team has the pleasure of venturing near and far to South Australian bars, cafes and accommodation, so we’ve compiled a list of our recent picks that have left a mark, as well as our tried-and-true favourites you’ll find us at regularly.
Take this magazine on your journeys and let it be your guide, ticking off the cafes, restaurants and bars as you go.
We hope you find plenty of inspiration on these pages, and discover lots of new places – maybe even a few favourites.
