Barossa Valley

It was a very early start today (Tuesday) as we joined a bus tour of the Barossa Valley. There were 15 of us – the rest were all Aussies, but we’ve had a great time. We visited 5 vineyards, all quite different, but all interesting. We went to Wolf Blass where the other three all sampled shirazes that sell for $350 per bottle. We had lunch at a lovely place which would make an exquisite wedding venue, and another highlight was the Langmeil vineyard, which had some vines which were 160 years old.



The predominant wines here are reds, which suited Janet and Phil and Allan, but I tried some lovely Rieslings. It is a lovely area and our tour guide was friendly and knowledgeable, so all in all, a great day. And the weather held!
