The Barossa offers everything youd expect from Australias most famous wine region. On your Barossa holiday, you can encounter winemakers waiting to share their secrets at the cellar door; landscapes etched with manicured vineyards; passionate food producers proffering their wares at country markets; and grand chateaux surrounded by ornate gardens. Don't forget about the high quality Barossa Valley Accommodation available! And its all just an hour from Adelaide. The Barossa owes much of its appeal to the European peasant farmers and English free settlers who made the place home from the 1850s. Youll get a taste of their rich cultural legacy in superb Barossa specialty foods, dozens of festivals and events, historic architecture and inspiring arts and antique galleries. Take a winery tour in a limousine or vintage car, or float above the valley in a hot-air balloon. Wake up in the Barossa Valley after spending the night in a restored settlers cottage, a resort suite, a luxurious country house or a shady caravan park - the Barossa offers a wealth of Barossa Valley accommodation options. Sample German wursts and cakes in heritage bakeries and butcher stores as you follow the Barossas Butcher, Baker, Winemaker Trail. And get right into the swing of things at one of the 100 events making up the biennial Barossa Vintage Festival.
