Second weekend of August (Saturday to Monday). Best for couples and foodies.
3
Extend into the region (2 days)

Insider tip

Skip the crowded flagship estates and book ahead at smaller producers like Artisans of Barossa or Langmeil for their chef partnerships—you'll get better access and more personalized pairings. Time your visits for late afternoon to catch the golden light in the valley and avoid midday heat on the tasting circuits.

The Barossa Valley is Australia's most famous wine region, just 60km northeast of Adelaide. Settled by Silesian German immigrants in the 1840s, it has some of the world's oldest Shiraz vines — some over 150 years old.
