The 15 best Barossa Valley wineries
Just a tick over 64km north of Adelaide, the compact Barossa Valley is one of the worldās great wine regions. This is traditional Peramangk and Ngadjuri country, with baking hot summers, cool winters and mineral-rich soils ā perfect conditions for producing big, beefy red wines. Shiraz is the local hero, with some mighty fine rieslings emerging from the slightly higher, slightly cooler Eden Valley sub-region, just over the rise.
There are more than 150 wineries in the Barossa, and an astonishing 80-plus cellar doors. You could spend weeks going between them, sipping fine wines all day long ā but thatās probably not entirely sensible. Why not start with our 13 top picks, and take it from there?
