The Barossa Valley Wineries

Drive through the Barossa Valley in Southern Australia and you may feel like you have suddenly landed on another continent. Yes, there are still kangaroos, but they take a back seat to wine, food, and a cozy European atmosphere.

Many of the wineries are owned by families of European descent, thus even the newer tasting rooms have a touch of the old world. This is the special events area at Grant Burge Wines.

Some of the wineries even have formal gardens, making them ideal spots for weddings, or just mulling around after a good tasting.

The wineries still age their wines and ports in the same way they did centuries ago, in oak barrels. These are the aging ports at Seppelt Wines.

Autumn turns the leaves on the grape vines a beautiful shade of red.
