Central Wine Regions Overview

The center of South Australia’s wine universe is 70km northeast of Adelaide in the Barossa Valley. Grapes from the Barossa region produce some of Australia’s best wines, particularly Shiraz. The Clare Valley, 45min. north of Barossa, is filled with smaller wineries that specialize in Rieslings and other cool-climate whites. For the budget traveler, wine tasting is not only a free buzz, but a cultural endeavor and a chance to take in the area’s scenic rolling valleys.
