Our lives are busy, work is flat out, and the weekend calendar is full of commitments for everyone in the family but you, right? As you turn the calendar to next month, it hits you - your wedding anniversary is right around the corner.
At Gerard McCabe, we're on a crusade to change this way of thinking! No longer is your wedding anniversary a second thought - this year, we're celebrating all the important milestones and more!
Keen to get some anniversary ideas for couples? Here are 6 ways you might choose to celebrate your anniversary in Adelaide this year...
1. A DINNER TO REMEMBER
For a special anniversary, dinner at award-winning Adelaide restaurant Penfolds Magill Estate Restaurant is a sure way to celebrate in style. Finish the night sipping champagne at one of Adelaide's rooftop bars, like 2KW, which offers wonderful views over North Terrace, taking in Parliament and Government House. It's certainly a beautiful, romantic location to celebrate your unique love.

Another iconic Adelaide destination is Hennessy rooftop bar at the Mayfair Hotel. Aptly named after the original architects of the heritage-listed building, this cocktail bar offers great service and an extensive cocktail list. Situated at the top of this gorgeous building, it's another idyllic place to enjoy each other's company.
2. A ROMANTIC WEEKEND GETAWAY
Still unsure? Plan a romantic night away! The best part: you don't have to be in the car for hours either. A quick trip up the South Eastern Freeway, and you are in picturesque Stirling.
The Retreat at Stirling is a gorgeous bed & breakfast. Set on two acres in the heart of the Adelaide Hills, this B'nB has three apartments to choose from, and the best part is, they're only a stone's throw away from the beautiful main street. Stirling and the Adelaide Hills offer visitors an escape to the country, with gourmet eateries, a unique collection of stores, and a peaceful country ambience that will make you never want to leave.
Shop Echunga Collection | Gerard McCabe
While you are in the Adelaide Hills, pop past the historical Echunga gold mines for a leisurely stroll - the perfect romantic place to present your anniversary gift! For our pick: it's a coloured diamond ring from Gerard McCabe’s Echunga Collection, inspired by the mysterious location itself. These unique pieces celebrate the rich history of the Adelaide Hills, with each natural diamond boasting its own personal flavour!
3. A PICNIC IN THE PARK
Pack a romantic hamper of tasty treats and spend a lazy afternoon celebrating your wedding anniversary in the stunning Botanic Gardens, just outside of the Adelaide CBD. This is the perfect way to have your own little adventure and spend one-on-one time with your best friend and partner in crime. Get ready to build the ultimate cheese platter and relax in the sun!

4. AN INVIGORATING URBAN EXPERIENCE
But perhaps a climb to the top of Adelaide Oval is more your style! A great option for a football-loving couple, the Adelaide Oval RoofClimb offers four different climbing options, so you'll be sure to find an option that suits your budget. If you like, you can even finish the night with dinner and a game!

5. EXPLORE LOCAL
A day trip to Hahndorf is always fun! There are so many things to see and do on the main street, from a meal at the German Arms to exploring the local businesses. Plus, there aren't too many wineries far away either! Explore what Australia's oldest German village has to offer, and at only 20 minutes away from the CBD, it's closer than you think!

6. TIME WITH YOUR BUOY
Not too keen on a busy restaurant? This anniversary, float along Adelaide's Riverbank precinct in a BBQ Buoy with your nearest and dearest, complete with an umbrella, sound system, and barbecue grill. The best part: you can choose from SA's finest drinks, and cook up a storm with your own food!
