ADVENTURES
Eden Valley Lookout
There’s no better spot to revel at some of the region’s most scenic hillsides. It's the perfect spot to enjoy a picnic and lap up stunning, panoramic views.
Lyndoch Lavender Farm & Café
Did you know there are over 70 different types of Lavender? Smell them all in Lyndoch! The perfect location to enjoy an afternoon stroll… plus, you’re almost guaranteed to sleep like a baby afterwards!
Hot Air Ballooning
Getting up in the dark at the crack of dawn may sound like the furthest thing from fun. However, when you witness the sun rising over vineyards in a hot air balloon, the early start is worth it!

DELICOUSNESS
Barossa Farmers Markets
Open 7:30-11:30am every Saturday, you won’t find fresher produce in the region! Enjoy a coffee while meandering around stalls full of fresh veggies, fruit, cheeses, breads, meats... and the list goes on! Not to be missed.
Barossa Valley Chocolate Company
I mean, it really speaks for itself. But, if you needed any more convincing, it even has a cellar door – because what’s better than a pairing a glass of delicious wine with your favourite choccies?
Cellar Doors
You’ll be spoiled for choice when it comes to cellar doors. With a new winery on every corner, there is a drop for every kind of wine lover. Some of our personal favourites are Kellermeister Wines, Hentley Farm, Seppeltsfield Winery and who could go past the ol’ faithful Rockford Wines and Jacobs Creek.
