Barossa Attractions

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 after spending the night in a restored settler's cottage, a resort suite, a luxurious country house or a shady caravan park.

Sample German wursts and cakes in heritage bakeries and butcher stores as you follow the Barossa's 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.

What's a wine region without a chateau or three? The divine buildings and grounds of Chateau Yaldara house a new cafe and larder. The magnificently restored Chateau Tanunda has a gorgeous cricket oval and croquet lawn, and is also home to the Barossa Small Winemakers Centre.

Seppeltsfield, one of Australia's grandest wine chateaux, began life as a dairy in 1851; and Chateau Barossa's parklands feature more than 20,000 rose bushes of more than 2000 varieties.

Rise and shine with the Barossa Farmers Market, held every Saturday morning from 7.30am to 11.30am and boasting real food from the homes and farms of the Barossa. Located just behind Vintners Bar & Grill near Angaston, it's a food-only market reflecting the heritage and traditions of the region.
