GRAPE ESCAPE

You’ll love the Barossa for the views, gourmet food and, of course, its world-class wine.

Less than an hour’s drive north- east of Adelaide is the Barossa – a scenic valley famed for its European heritage, gourmet delicacies and world- class wine region. Wine has been a way of life in the Barossa since 1842. It even produced the most valuable bottle of wine ever sold – the Penfolds 2004 Block 42. Visitors to the region can make day trips to experience the huge variety of restaurants, wineries and farm shops – so lovers of good food and wine should definitely put the Barossa Valley at the top of their bucket list. aatkings.com
