Blog: What to do while in Adelaide for the #2018NVC

How to make the most of your time in Adelaide!

Are you staying in Adelaide for the 2018 National VET Conference? If you are there are some fantastic opportunities to take advantage of while in the picturesque “20 minute city”.

If you are looking for something delicious to eat on Friday night after the conference, there are some amazing restaurants located throughout Adelaide CBD click here to see Trip Advisors’ top 10 best restaurants.

There are a number of inner-city sites that are easy to explore.  Our favourite is the Adelaide Botanic Garden. In the heart of the city but another world away ... Take time out to explore the beauty and diversity of plants from across Australia and around the world. Spend an hour or spend the day among the 50 hectares of magnificently maintained gardens and stunning architecture. Relax in the shade or enjoy a coffee among some of Australia's finest plant collections.

After two full days of learning one great way to relax on the Saturday is to enjoy a famous Adelaide wine tour!  Sample Adelaide’s best and take in the glorious scenery to really have an ‘Adelaide experience’.  There are many incredible wineries to choose from but some of the top picks of the Velgy Bunch are:

• Barossa Valley
• Jacobs Creek
• McLaren Vale

If you are looking for a unique experience you can’t go past the brand new D’Arenberg Cube . The building design was inspired by the complexities and puzzles of winemaking and each level has been designed to entice and excite the senses. It includes features such as a wine sensory room, a virtual fermenter, a 360degree video room, and a range of other tactile experiences. Walk through the winery, enjoy a coffee at the café or experience a delicious and unique degustation menu at the D’Arenberg Cube restaurant.

If you see one of the Velgy Bunch out and about while you are in Adelaide, come and say “hi”, don’t be shy! We’re looking forward to seeing you there.
