It wouldn t be an Adelaide road-trip roundup without featuring the Barossa Valley.
Although very popular with tourists and famous for producing some of Australia s best vino, the drive to the wine capital also showcases some of South Australia’s most gorgeous scenery.
We recommend an hour s drive northeast of the CBD to Tanunda, through meandering country roads and the villages of Balhannah, Woodside and Birdwood, taking in the orchards, market gardens and stone cottages, before crossing into the Barossa.
On your way, make the time to visit Woodside Cheese Wrights, owned by one of Australia s most talented cheesemakers – and take some with you to keep your wine company on the drive home.
