Barossa Vineyard

The Barossa Valley is Australia’s premier wine region, recognised for its seductive full-bodied Shiraz. If you’re looking to expand your palette, you’ll also discover a collection of superb Cabernet Sauvignon, Riesling, GSM, Grenache, Chardonnay and Semillon.

The Barossa Valley is found in South Australia, about 60 kilometres north-east of Adelaide. Approximately an hour’s drive from the state’s capital, the Barossa Valley is ideally located for a day trip, weekend or a week-long affair. With 80 cellar doors in the Barossa Valley, there’s no shortage of artisanal wines to sample.

Barossa Valley wineries benefit from a warm climate similar to the Mediterranean. With warm days and cooler nights, the Barossa weather is optimal for yielding grapes with bold flavours, and makes the region an ideal destination to visit year-round.

There are many reasons why the Barossa Valley is considered one of the best places in Australia for wine production. The region has a long history of viticulture, dating back to the early 19th century.

The Mediterranean microclimate and soil substrata of sand and clay create a diverse environment that is conducive to a wide range of grape varietals, with deep colours ranging from yellow-green to deep reds and browns.
