Travel from Adelaide to Tanunda (Barossa Valley)

Pass through Gawler for a quick coffee or stroll, then continue into the Barossa where rolling hills and rows of vines welcome you. Stop at iconic wineries like Jacob's Creek or Seppeltsfield for tastings and lunch, or take in sweeping views at Mengler Hill Lookout where you can stroll through the Barossa Sculpture Park. As you arrive in Tanunda, you’ll find yourself in the heart of wine country, surrounded by cellar doors, gourmet food, and Barossa charm.

Cellar Door Suggestions for Tanunda and Lyndoch

Pindarie - Situated on the western ridge of the Barossa Valley, this family-run vineyard and cellar door is located away from the hustle of the town, amidst sheep, pastures and vines. Enjoy views of rolling hills with a glass of Rose or Tempranillo.
Gomersal Wines - A boutique winery, Gomersal Wines is renowned for its traditional, rich, full-bodied Shiraz which may be enjoyed with a platter complete with local meats, cheese and chutney. For something different, taste their small batch gins, created in collaboration with a local distiller.
Rockford Wines - Sip and lounge in a cellar door made up of old stone buildings dating back to early settlement of Krondorf. Rockford is passionate about keeping its heritage alive, seen throughout the grounds and in the story telling of the wine. Bookings are recommended.
Grant Burge - Experience the ultimate wine and chocolate tasting with four premium Grant Burge wines alongside hand-made locally produced chocolate from Just Bliss. This unique pairing is enjoyed in the Meshach Cellar Door with impressive Barossa Valley views.
Jacob's Creek - Use a map of the grounds to choose your perfect picnic location before embarking on a culinary tourism experience with a bottle of wine and gourmet produce. If you are short on time, enjoying a tasting inside the cellar door is a welcome event and can be followed with a stroll along the Jacob's Creek walking trail.
