Overview

Barossa Valley Wine Country β€” Adelaide to Nuriootpa via Lyndoch & Tanunda.

An easy half-day ride from Adelaide into the Barossa Valley, one of the world's great wine regions. The route runs north through Gawler and the rolling southern vineyards at Lyndoch, into the German-settled heart of the valley at Tanunda, and up to Nuriootpa. Gentle roads, stone villages, and cellar doors at every turn β€” a classic touring day best ridden with a designated lunch, not a tasting.
