Detailed itinerary

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, then heads south to the light-filled sanctuary of Sol Yoga, nestled amongst gum trees and birdsong. Local yogi Kate will guide the group 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. As leaders in regenerative agriculture, this multi-award-winning winery blends sustainability with artisan making. Relax with a guided wine tasting and soak up the Willunga village energy and warm vibes this humble venue is known for.

Stop 5

A short drive away is Wirra Wirra winery. Built in 1894 and beautifully restored, this renowned vineyard is not only celebrated for its award-winning wines but also for its
commitment to sustainability, biodynamic practices, native habitat restoration and estategrown produce. Settle in for a delicious two-course seasonal lunch of shared mains, sides, and dessert, crafted by their talented chefs, all paired with the relaxed hospitality Wirra Wirra is known for.

With your taste buds satisfied, it’s time to move into a private room at the winery and awaken your inner artist in a playful Paint the Music session by Art of You. In this uplifting one-hour experience, you’ll be guided through the creative process of painting on canvas, inspired by a curated soundtrack. Each song evokes a different energy, inviting you to express emotion, movement, and colour in your own unique way—no art experience required! Return to Adelaide around 4.30 pm.
