Barossa Valley Wine Region

Make the pilgrimage to the Barossa and you'll be joining 60 per cent of all visitors to South Australia’s wineries. And no wonder. Just an hour’s drive north of Adelaide, it’s undoubtedly Australia’s best-known viticulture and winemaking region.

Around 500 grape growing families, many sixth generation, today continue to supply nearly 60,000 tonnes of grapes to about 50 winemakers - including household names like Seppelt, Penfolds and Lehmann.

You'll find 60 cellar doors, from big to boutique and new to heritage-listed. You can drink Jacob's Creek wine right next to real thing in the new $5 million visitor centre at Rowland Flat. Wander among grand chateaux called Tanunda, Barrosa and Yaldara. Or taste the global wines of Wolf Blass in the new $5 million, circular cellar door near Nurioopta.
