Itinerary highlights
Yoga & Willunga Farmers Market
Leave the bustle of the city behind and journey into the heart of the Fleurieu Peninsula for a day of movement, mindfulness, creativity, and connection. Your soulful day begins with a warm welcome from your local guide before heading south to the light-filled sanctuary of Sol Yoga, nestled amongst gum trees and birdsong. Local yogi Kate will guide you through a grounding one-hour yoga class suitable for all levels. An invitation to breathe deeply, stretch fully, and arrive in the moment.
Next, explore the vibrant Willunga Farmers Market—South Australia’s first and oldest farmers market. Wander at your own pace, chat with local producers, and enjoy a coffee or fresh juice in the open air. It’s your chance to gather a few regional treats and experience the authentic community spirit that defines Willunga.
Enjoy some free time to stroll the charming Willunga township, where community, creativity, and connection are woven into everyday life. Discover artisan stores, friendly locals, and the relaxed, country-town atmosphere that makes this region so special.
Meet back up with the group at the welcoming, family-owned Hither & Yon cellar door for a wine tasting.
Lunch & Art Lesson
Tucked among vineyards and towering gums, Red Poles is both a celebrated destination restaurant and a haven for the arts. Enjoy a delicious two-course lunch crafted with seasonal produce from the Fleurieu Peninsula, paired with a glass of local wine. During lunch, tap into your creative flow during a playful wine and ink painting workshop led by a local artist. Using natural tools like grapevine sticks and pigment from wine, ink, and coffee, this relaxed two-hour session is a reminder of the joy and mindfulness found in making art.
With your heart full and your senses awakened, return to Adelaide around 4.30 pm.
