Spend a day exploring the Barossa and tasting world-class wines and some of the best food in South Australia.
An hour’s drive from Adelaide City is the Barossa Valley, one of the most famous wine regions in the world. The Barossa Valley is known for some of the world’s best shiraz!
1. Tanunda
Tanunda is in the heart of the Barossa and has some of the best wineries and restaurants. Great restaurants to visit for a delicious lunch or dinner include 1918 Bistro & Grill or Char Barossa.
One of the main wineries to visit is Chateau Tanunda, the Barossa’s first winery! The building itself is spectacular and here lie some of the Barossa’s first vines planted.
2. Angaston
Angaston is another main town in the Barossa that has markets, bustling cafes, restaurants, and of course wineries. Some of the top wineries to visit include Saltram Wine Estate, Lambert Estate Wines, and Yalumba.
Every Saturday the Barossa Farmers’ Market is open with fresh food like vegetables, fruit, breads, and meats.
3. Nuriootpa
Nuriootpa has beautiful 19th-century buildings and some of the best food to enjoy in the Barossa.
