Barossa Valley

The Barossa Valley is in South Australia and is one of the best wine-producing regions on the Australian mainland with a rapidly-growing international reputation. Many of the area wineries are open for tastings and there are organized tours operating out of Adelaide to visit them.

Each year the Barossa Valley holds a festival called the Vintage Festival. At the Vintage Festival local winemakers and producers can show their wines and produce as well as celebrations with local choirs and groups. Farmers' Markets are also very popular in the Barossa. This is where local producers can sell their products and where consumers know exactly where the product has come from and how it has been processed or manufactured.

Many of the local restaurants and cafes serve "traditional" German-heritage food, and food made with locally-grown fresh ingredients. Examples include 1918 in Tanunda and the Krondorf Cafe at Kabminye Wines. Fine dining choices include Appellation in Marananga and Vintner's Bar and Grill in Angaston.
