Barossa Valley Tours & Vacations

Our Barossa Valley trips start in Adelaide, South Australia. The region is located 43 miles northeast of Adelaide. It takes roughly 1-1.5 hours to drive to Barossa Valley from Adelaide. You can also take a Metro train from Adelaide Railway Station to Gawler Central. From Gawler, transfer to Barossa via a local bus operated by Link SA.

The best way to get around Barossa Valley is by going on a tour (especially if you want to enjoy a glass of vino or two) or driving.

You can also get around by bicycle on the Barossa Trail – a 25 mi traffic-free cycling/walking trail that begins just east of Gawler and ends on Barossa Valley Way in Lyndoch. It goes through the region's heart and showcases some of the best wineries and views. It's also a cheaper and more eco-friendly way to get around.

Barossa Valley experiences a mild climate similar to the Mediterranean, which is what makes it such an amazing place to grow grapes. It typically has cool, wet winters and warm, dry summers with plenty of sunshine. Autumn days are balmy and dry with cool nights, while spring is mild and sunny.

If you want to see grapes on the vines and enjoy balmy evenings, summer is where it's at. Summer is also the busiest time of year, so expect larger crowds.

The sweet spot (i.e. smaller crowds and good weather) is late spring and early fall. Fall is also harvesting season, which means one thing: vintage celebrations!

Winter is cool and wet, and while there might not be a buzz like there is in summer, you'll get to enjoy the region in solitude. Plus, is there anything better than a glass of Shiraz around a roaring log fire?

Home to around 150 wineries and 80 cellar doors, Barossa Valley is the place to be if you love wine.

Barossa Valley is most famous for its Barossa Valley Shiraz with its deep, bold and intense flavours of plums, blackberry, dark chocolate and spices. Other popular varieties are Riesling, Cabernet Sauvignon, Semillon, Grenache and Chardonnay.
