"Barossa - For Fine Food & Wine" a Barossa Travel Page by tigerjapan

The famous Barossa wine region is a little over an hour by car north of Adelaide, South Australia's capital. The Barossa comprises two regions, the Barossa Valley and the Eden Valley.

My pages on the Barossa will cover this entire region, not just the town of Barossa. I will include wineries in the Eden Valley in these pages too.

The Barossa Valley stretches from Williamstown in the south to Kapunda and Truro in the north. The region is famous for its fertile red-brown soil. The Eden Valley includes the country from Truro in the north through to Mt. Pleasant in the south.

There are about 550 growers in the Barossa. The history of the Barossa and it's disproportionate in the super-premium categories make it Australia's most influential and internationally recognised wine region.

We had a wonderful day trip to the Barossa in December 2003. We hired a car and took a few friends up with us. Tove, Teru, The Lady JQ, Take & I had a fantastic day wandering from winery to winery. Local bakeries and cellar doors with cafes kept us nourished and the Australian sun kept us in fine spirits... or was that the wine?
