From our stunning vines to our rolling seas, from our climbing ranges and stretching beaches, to our fun-filled city lanes, this is one remarkable state and Food+Wine+Travel proudly and unabashedly spruiks so. This year, the SALIFE team has again travelled across the state - near and far - to uncover the characters, treats, drops, stays and experiences that make it magnificent.

We have featured each of the 12 South Australian regions – Adelaide city, Adelaide Gills, Barossa Valley, Clare Valley, Eyre Peninsula, Fleurieu Peninsula, Flinders and Outback, Kangaroo Island, Limestone Coast, River Murray and Coorong, Riverland and Yorke Peninsula.

Whenever you pick up this magazine, you’ll be able to flick through the pages and find somewhere to go, something to do, a cellar door to explore, a cafe in which to indulge, a way in which to completely spoil yourself, and a destination where you can lose yourself in nature.

We have also headed down the city streets in search of the bars and establishments that are offering quirky cocktails, and inside new restaurants and eateries that are preparing Mediterranean treats.

There is also a story on some of the best wine experiences on offer across the state. And if you’re looking for tips on the absolute best, the SALIFE team has listed its “top picks” of the past year: from best restaurant to best stay, best go-to spot to best experience, there are some very special suggestions in here.

So, enjoy this comprehensive guide to the best of South Australian, food, wine and travel, helping you make the most of everything on offer in this great state.
