Definition of ‘redundant’? The spittoon in a Barossa winery… Australia’s oldest, most famous wine region produces some of the world’s finest drops so we dutifully swallow the free tasting samples on winery tours. Of course we could say it’s not just wine – that there’s great food, postcard vistas and charming country towns. But we’d be lying; it’s about wine. Wineries like Yalumba, Langmeil and Chateau Tanunda have living, breathing histories that you can experience, see and taste. Seppelt welcomes you with a gracious avenue of 2000 date palms. At Penfolds, you can pull on a lab coat and bottle your own blend. And of course there’s Jacob’s Creek, home to (yes) a real creek and one of the world’s most photographed road signs…

The Barossa region is amongst South Australias most visited. It was originally established by German families who built their homes near the banks of the Tanunda Creek and you will see many of these picturesque villages with their stone cottages and tree lined streets. Many town names and places of interest have prominent German names and it was with the foresight of these settlers that the Barossa was first recognised as a suitable area for wine production. For years now, The Barossa has produced internationally acclaimed table wines.

The nearby town of Lyndoch is one of the oldest in SA with settlers arriving here as early as 1839. Lutheran churches remain nestled in hillsides which are shared with kangaroos and wallabies. Here the landscape blends with simple architecture, to create a "step back in time" experience. Horseriding and ballooning are only two activities to highlight your visit to the Barossa. 

As you will discover with a visit to Rocky's Country Music Hall of Fame, its not only about grapes and quiet misty valleys down here. One of Australia's largest private LEGO collections is located at Angaston and valued at $90,000 means a lot of square shaped cowboys, Indians and fire trucks :)
