South Australia is the first state in Australia to get a visit from the MICHELIN Guide so global recognition is on the way.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

When the MICHELIN Guide announced that South Australia<\/a> was the first place it would be turning its gaze in this country, no one in the state was surprised. Eighty per cent of the nation’s premium wine is made in South Australia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Barossa Valley pours bold shiraz from some of the oldest vines on the planet, the Clare Valley sets the standard for crisp Aussie riesling and McLaren Vale and the cooler Adelaide Hills are home to subtle chardonnay and elegant bubbles; great wines to pair with food.<\/p>\n\n\n

Then there’s the produce: Ligurian honey from Kangaroo Island<\/a>, world-beating Eyre Peninsula seafood, grass-fed Limestone Coast beef from Mayura Station, artisan cheeses, cold-pressed olive oils and just-picked stone fruit. And you will find it all at the Adelaide Central Market<\/a>, among the largest fresh-produce markets in the Southern Hemisphere, that has been extolling the virtues of this wealth of amazing foods for over 150 years. To top it off, you have world-class chefs in restaurants that will wow the MICHELIN reviewers with inspiration from this bounty of wine and produce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This abundance of high-quality local ingredients and the joy of sharing great meals has fostered a culture in South Australia that is relaxed, inclusive and best savoured with family and friends. This unique approach to food, wine and hospitality sets the state apart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
