If you've already found yourself Googling "things to do with kids in Adelaide these school holidays", we have an idea.
Pack the kids into the car and head for the Barossa.
At Kies Family Wines in Lyndoch, we've always believed visiting wine country shouldn't just be something for grown-ups.
We're a family winery, so families are very much part of life here.
And during the spring school holidays, there's even more reason to visit.
A Barossa day out the kids can actually enjoy
One of our favourite things about our place is the space.
Instead of asking the kids to sit quietly while Mum and Dad enjoy the Barossa, they can head outside and be kids.
We've got wide-open lawns, lawn games, our much-loved climbing tree and plenty of room for a kick of the footy.
You'll also find our very hard-to-miss pink Barossa Wildlife Rescue tractor on the property. Kids — and plenty of grown-ups — can climb aboard and grab a family photo while they're here.
And after seeing the number of families climbing all over it at Father's Day, we can confidently say it's a hit. 😂
School holiday lunch sorted
Right here at Kies Family Wines you'll also find our Monkey Nut Café.
For the September/October school holidays, we're bringing out our Little Legends Footy Finals Box, created especially for our littlest footy fans.
Each box includes nuggets and chips, a fruit box, a footy colouring activity and their very own mini football to keep.
Once lunch is finished?
Take that new footy straight onto the Kies lawns.
And there's something for Mum and Dad...
This is possibly the most important part.
You are still at a winery.
While you're here, visit the Kies Family Wines Cellar Door, discover our wines, settle in for lunch, enjoy a glass overlooking the vineyard or take some Kies wines home with you.
We think the best family outings are the ones where everyone gets something out of the day.
Make the Barossa your Adelaide school holiday day trip
If you're looking for a school holiday activity outside Adelaide, we're in Lyndoch at the southern end of the Barossa Valley.
Come for lunch.
Let the kids have a play.
Explore the winery.
Have a wine.
Take approximately 47 photos of your children on a bright pink tractor. 😂
And make a day of it.
