Adelaide Central Market: Guided Gourmet Food Tour

Step behind the counters of the Southern Hemisphere's largest undercover fresh produce market with an expert food guide, tasting your way through artisan stalls in an immersive, intimate morning experience.

What to expect

The Adelaide Central Market has operated continuously since 1869 and remains the beating culinary heart of a city obsessed with food. Your expert guide threads you through 70-plus stalls, pausing at each curated stop for a tasting and the story behind the producer. Highlights typically include a South Australian charcuterie and cheese specialist, a heritage bakery, an artisan coffee roaster, and a seafood vendor showcasing the extraordinary cold-water produce of the Southern Ocean. The tour concludes with time to shop independently — ideal for picking up local produce, preserves, or gifts to take aboard.
