Feature | Adelaide Throws a Party Lokal by chef Ryan Edwards and then onto Jacob’s Creek for some serious wine tasting. We sampled two exceptionally priced reds from their new Double Barrel range. The first a <strong>20</strong>15 shiraz that displayed great structure and texture with an abundance of concentrated fruit and <strong>20</strong>15 cabernet sauvignon a full bodied red that was rich and satisfying in flavour and rounded off with a smooth soft tannin finish. Back in the city a must-doexperience is Adelaide’s best known and favourite beach. A <strong>20</strong>-minute tram ride from the city is Glenelg, Adelaide’s premier seaside destination and home to some of South Australia’s most expensive real estate. Synonymous with white sandy beaches, wide ocean views and stunning sunsets, not to mention its vibrant restaurant and café brigade. It’s also worth building up an appetite for a walk along Gouger Street, Adelaide’s undisputed eat street and another great place to start a culinary tour. Greek, Italian, Asian communities have long had gastronomic influences in this centrally located area accessible by foot bringing a wealth of alfresco dining with its world class restaurants, bars and cafes. With so much to see and do Adelaide deserves more than a week. With all its culture, taste, art and beauty we visited all the sights, tasted some exceptional cellar doors and sampled some exquisite cuisine raising our glasses along the way. As we fly out, the city in all its glory is revealed once again. With so much to see and do Adelaide deserves more than 6-days. No doubt about it.
