Piccadilly: Wine, Hiking and Adventure

Piccadilly can be explored through several specific travel interests: wine tastings, day hikes and active pursuits. If you’re looking for a hotel, you can first consider which of these themes is most important in choosing your destination. The options differ in what they offer: Cellar Door offers tastings during set opening hours, you can hike sections of the Heysen Trail as day hikes, and the Adventure offerings include a range of activities and facilities. This lets you assess Piccadilly based on what you’d like to do during your stay.

Wine Tasting in Piccadilly Valley

Tapanappa Cellar Door offers wine tastings daily from 11 am to 4 pm, including on public holidays. As opening hours can change, check the current hours before your visit. At Cellar Door, you can discover wines from Tapanappa, DAOSA and Terre à Terre. Cellar Door is located in Piccadilly Valley at the foot of The Tiers Vineyard. The three producers mentioned give the tasting experience a specific focus if you’d like to include particular wines in your travel plans.

Sections of the Heysen Trail for Day Hikes

The Heysen Trail passes through Piccadilly, and sections of the trail can be hiked as day hikes. This can be included as a standalone day in your travel plans: you can plan a hike along one section of the trail without including the entire route in your stay. The trail therefore offers a different focus from a wine tasting or a visit to the Adventure attractions. Plan your hike around the section you’d like to walk.

Obstacle Course and Other Activities

Woodhouse Adventure Park has the Challenge Hill obstacle course, with more than 30 obstacles. Other offerings include disc golf, orienteering and tube slides. The number of obstacles gives you a specific point of reference for Challenge Hill, while the other activities offer different ways to spend your time. If you’re planning a visit, you can start by choosing the type of activity that interests you.

Mount Lofty Adventure Hub in Piccadilly has a 324-metre-long forest zipline, a climbing wall, a Megaswing and high ropes courses. The 324 metres refers to the length of the zipline; at Challenge Hill, the specific measure is instead the number of obstacles. The two figures therefore describe different things. To compare them, you can first choose the type of activity and consider the relevant figure for each offering.

Getting to Mount Lofty Botanic Garden

Stop 30E Piccadilly Road is approximately one kilometre from the lower entrance to Mount Lofty Botanic Garden. This approximate distance can help you orient yourself if the garden is part of your plans. If you’d like to use public transport, check the current services, as they can change.
