Lobethal lights up in December with Christmas light display and street festival, but still has plenty to offer in the other 11 months. Breakfast and coffee at Emma and Ivy is worth the drive, the pubs here are somewhat lack lustre but the Lobethal Bierhaus brewery and Hugel gin bar will easily satisfy. A stop en route to explore Adelaide Hills wineries.
