Wellness Wander in the Adelaide Hills

Wellness wander in the Adelaide Hills is back!

Old favourites join some stunning new events to suit all tastes and ages with more than 40 bespoke and highly thoughtful wellness experiences curated to fill your cup.
Now in its third year, the two-day event champions local wellness operators and experiences that are abundant in the region, with events that traverse the Adelaide Hills from Stirling, to Hahndorf, Mount Barker to Lobethal, Crafers to Paracombe and the greater surrounds.
The event program is diverse, from more well-known wellness experiences like; agri-tourism and produce, walking, wildlife, yoga, Pilates, spas and mindfulness, through to newer experiences like breathwork, equine therapy and sound healing – there is a wellness experience for everyone, from solos, friends and couples, through to the whole family.
Wellness seekers can expect an event line-up with experiences falling under one or more of the five event wellness pillars; Provenance, Relax & Unwind, Nature, Learn & Create and Stay – providing more ways to connect and find your well place.
Our flagship new event, Nourish by Well Traveller provides a beautiful experience to immerse yourself in an afternoon filled with ways to nourish your body and mind. Set in the stunning Ukaria Cultural Centre, hear from our keynote presenter, Matthew Evans, the famous chef and food critic, turned farmer-food activist now based out of Tasmania. Best known for his long-running SBS series Gourmet Farmer, his 13 published books and What’s the Catch? and For the Love of Meat documentaries, Matt will take nourish seekers through the cycle of farming, growing, soil and eating.

Then hear from local biodynamic farm and vineyard Ngeringa’s holistic health coach and cellar door manager, Erica Rushbrook , followed by a mood boosting cooking demonstration by the delightful Malissa Fedele from the recent MasterChef Series, and a scrumptious afternoon tea. You will also be taken through a gentle breathing exercise and finish off with sublime skin nourishment tips and an insight into their working biodynamic farm by the ultimate skin masters, Jurlique.

Walk away with a goodie bag with more than $150 of beautiful products to nourish you at home. This one is not to be missed.
