Things to Do in the Adelaide Hills This October Long Weekend

Looking for things to do in the Adelaide Hills this October Long Weekend? With spring in full swing, it’s the perfect time to escape Adelaide and head for the hills.

And if you’re looking for a relaxed day of wine, food and live music, make Simon Tolley Cellar Door part of your long-weekend plans.

From 2–5 October, Simon Tolley is OPEN EVERY DAY from 11am–5pm, celebrating spring with great wine, delicious food and live music all weekend.

The long weekend kicks off on Friday 2 October with the launch of the brand-new Summer Menu. Some old favourites are making a comeback — including the much-loved jaffles — alongside a brand-new platter designed for sharing.

On Saturday, settle in with a glass of Adelaide Hills wine and enjoy Jaymarr, performing acoustic favourites from 12pm–4pm.

Then Sunday brings Rain & Shan, performing from 12pm–4pm with everything from old-school favourites to disco classics. Good vibes guaranteed!

There’s also a Spring Wine Special running all weekend, with the 2025 Rosé or Sauvignon Blanc available by the case for just $220 — that’s more than 30% off.

Whether you’re planning a day trip from Adelaide, catching up with friends, enjoying a long lunch or simply looking for somewhere beautiful to spend a spring afternoon, Simon Tolley is an easy choice.

Bring the family, bring the dog, book a table and settle in.

Come for the wine, stay for the food and music, and celebrate spring the Simon Tolley way. 🍷🌿
