Barossa Valley - Magical vineyards and farmland

AH, this is wine country! A scenic one hour drive north of Adelaide and you will be transported to what Napa was - well maybe for a nano second.

Architecture and riesling wine traditions reflect the first 1842 German Lutherans settlers.  Today the valley is better known for Shiraz, Cabernets, Semillon and Chardonnay. AND since 1878 it is home of the world's only continuous collection of fortified wines, compliments of Seppeltsfield.

Not so interested in wine? Meander through Mararnanga, Tanunda, Angaston and stop at the local farmer's market.

Steve got unexpectedly in touch with his early "tractory consulting" roots at the annual Kapunda Farm Fair.  Who knew?  Gar Beckstead did!
CLICK and enjoy!
