Destination: Barossa Valley

Barossa Valley, South Australia is one of the world's most famous wine regions, located about an hour northeast of Adelaide. Established in the 1840s by German settlers, it’s best known for its full-bodied Shiraz, but also produces exceptional Cabernet Sauvignon, Grenache, and age-worthy Rieslings from the nearby Eden Valley.

The Barossa features a warm climate, ideal for bold red wines, and is home to some of the world’s oldest continuously producing vines, dating back to the mid-1800s. With over 150 wineries and 80 cellar doors, the region balances iconic names like Penfolds and Henschke with boutique producers.

Barossa is also a culinary hub, celebrated for its artisan food scene, traditional German-influenced cuisine, and local produce markets like the Barossa Farmers Market. Its picturesque landscapes, dotted with vineyards, rolling hills, and charming towns like Tanunda and Angaston, make it a top destination for food and wine lovers.
