The Barossa Valley

The Barossa Valley
An hour north-east of Adelaide lies one of the wine world’s true heavyweights. The Barossa Valley grows some of the oldest Shiraz vines on the planet and turns them into deep, age-worthy reds, all wrapped in a landscape of historic stone villages and a proud German-heritage food culture. It’s the classic South Australian wine escape — and it pairs beautifully with the neighbouring Eden Valley’s Riesling.
