Looking for things to do in the Barossa Valley? I’ve got you!
Just an hour’s drive north of Adelaide, you’ll find South Australia’s best-known wine region – the Barossa Valley.
Synonymous with top-shelf wines that have earned it worldwide acclaim, you can’t help but wonder – once the swirls, sniffs and sips are done, what else does the Barossa have to offer?
I live on the northern side of Adelaide, making it so easy for me to spend a day exploring this region. It’s my go-to area for a day out of the city because its right on my doorstep
It doesn’t even need to be a whole day – I may have recently driven to the Barossa just to stock up on my favourite Fruchocs.
Even though I go there regularly, I challenge myself each time I visit to find something new, whether an activity, a cellar door or a place to eat, and I’ve come up with a lot of options – it’s not all about wine here after all.
So, let’s uncork (see what I did there!) the lesser-known, yet equally awesome adventures waiting for you in the Barossa Valley!
