1. Cleland Wildlife Park
A short drive from Mt. Lofty Summit brings you to delightful Cleland Wildlife Park, where many animals roam free in three different forest habitats. Self-guided walking trails crisscross the park and its surroundings, and you're guaranteed to see emus and kangaroos in the grasslands and pelicans around the swampy billabongs. There are also enclosures for wombats and other less sociable animals. Koala cuddling is a highlight of koala close-up sessions (A$33, daily 2 pm and 2:30 pm). Breakfast with the Birds offers the chance to feed a variety of species before the park opens to the public, and private two-hour night walks (A$327 for up to four people) let you wander among nocturnal species such as potoroos and brush-tailed bettongs: check the website for the next scheduled walk. Private guided tours can be arranged for A$135 per hour weekdays, A$270 per hour weekends. Reservations are essential. The park is closed when there's a fire ban (usually between December and February).

3. CRFT Wines
Get to know one of the newer boutique wineries in the Adelaide Hills by visiting the CRFT Wines cellar door. Located on a beautiful country road with one vineyard after another, it's built from a converted shearing shed and horse stable. CRFT offers a range of unique, single vineyard wines, made by a couple of married winemakers, Candice Helbig and Frewin Ries. Their aim in forming CRFT was to champion the incredible diversity of soils and climates in the subregions of the Adelaide Hills. The tasting room is open to the public every weekend for wine flights (starting from A$15 per person), wines by the glass or bottle, and take-home bottle sales. Complimentary olives are served with each wine flight, and there’s a cheese plate you can opt for as well. The fireplace roars on chilly days.
