Adelaide is home to a burgeoning variety of breweries, with many located in the ‘Southern Vales’.  

We head south to the picturesque Fleurieu Peninsula, home to sustainable, world-class wines, gourmet culinary experiences, boutique accommodation, and more than 30km of breath-taking coastline and pristine beaches. 

Our first stop is Swell Brewing Co. An idea developed by founder/brewer Dan over his 2-year North & South American surf trip. Upon his return to Australia, he started his brewing career. After 3 years brewing from scratch, he decided his recipes were ready and launched the brand. Coming to brewing from a wine background, their beers represent new layers of flavour, texture, and pair beautifully with food. 

From here we head to Penny Red Beer Co. Winning 6 awards at The Royal Adelaide Beer & Cider Awards 2024 we are excited to have these guys on our itinerary. UK couple Craig and Jess also discovered their love for craft beer while travelling through the US.  After moving to Australia, Craig’s home brewing was getting great feedback from friends, so they decided to start entering competitions. They then moved from Sydney to SA and rented a space from friends on the incredible vineyard and opened the local, friendly, craft brewery. Option to purchase lunch from their on-site food van, doing popular pizzas and flatbread & dips.

Last on the list is South Coast Brewing Co. Where you can meet the brewers, view the brewery, or just relax and sample their many wares in the tap house. If you’re feeling a little competitive you can enjoy a round of mini golf at their purpose-built golf course!
