Just a short drive from Adelaide, a pilgrimage to the world-renowned Barossa region is a must-do for food and wine lovers. Sip and snack your way through the valley, absorbing the arcadian atmosphere, and exploring picture-perfect country villages.
Ride north from Adelaide, and watch the urban landscape fade to verdant rows of grapevines as you enter the Barossa.

Your first stop is Pindarie, a multi-tourism award winning cellar door, which feels more like an Australian Homestead than a cellar door.
