About Barossa Valley
The Barossa Valley, an hour from Adelaide, is Australia's most famous wine region, renowned for bold Shiraz from vines planted by German settlers over 170 years ago. Rolling vineyards, historic stone wineries and small Lutheran-heritage towns make it a leisurely destination for cellar door tastings, paired with regional produce from artisan bakeries, cheesemakers and smokehouses.
