How can a family split a New Year week between Adelaide and a wine region?

Give your child a say in one outing each day. A winery visit works better for a family when there is food, outdoor space and a short drive to the next activity.

Book New Year accommodation and key meals early, and check each venue's holiday hours. Holiday opening can differ from its usual weekly schedule.

Start with several nights in Adelaide or Glenelg so the city and beach days stay easy. Then choose one wine-region base with activities beyond tastings, such as walks, produce stops or a family-friendly meal.
