Only 70 kms North East of Adelaide the Barossa Valley is one of Australia’s most famous wine producing regions and twenty per cent of the country’s wine is made here. Charming countryside, historical buildings and a strong German influence as well as lots of wine make this area a popular holiday destination.

The traditions of grape growing and wine making stretch back over 160 years and not surprisingly it is home to some of Australia’s best known brands like Peter Lehmann, Yalumba, Penfolds, Wolf Blass, Seppelts and Henschke plus many others.

The Barossa region has two distinctly different zones, they are each known and renowned for two very different styles of wine.

The Barossa Valley Shiraz, which makes up a large part of Penfolds ‘Grange’, is a complex, rich and full bodied wine with soft tannins. Highly regarded throughout the world as one of the best wines of its type.

The higher, cooler climate and stony soil of the Eden Valley is perfect for quality Riesling. Elegant and crisp, Eden Valley Riesling is an Australian Classic.
