Plan Your Own Barossa Trip

by - 5:59 PM

South Australia is known for its wine regions. So when my friends visited, I knew I had to take them on a wine tasting tour. I heard that Barossa is the best. Being a newbie to Adelaide myself, I was initially leaning towards booking with a tour group because there didn't seem to be much material on the internet about planning your own tour. But we decided to save money, go on an adventure and use technology to our benefit and planned our own Barossa trip. And now I get to share it with you!




The Whispering Wall
We arrived at our first stop at 10 AM. The Whispering Wall is said to be South Australia's first and highest arch dam. The coolest thing about the dam is that sounds from one end can be heard clearly from the other. No shouting needed, just speak like how you normally would and your friend standing all the way at the other side can hear everything that you're saying as if you were standing next to him. What wonder!


Next stop, Lyndoch Lavender Farm.
Take a stroll amidst the lavenders and maybe try some lavender ice cream or lavender cookies! The cafe was closed when we visited but we did get to try the cookies. It wasn't my type of cookie but it was interesting to try.


Seppelt Family Masouleum
On the way to our next stop, we noticed that other cars stopped to park at this area so we did the same out of curiosity. With a pretty view to take pictures in, it was worth a really quick visit.

Seppeltsfield
Now, on to the wine tasting! Although we initially had other wine tasting venues on our itinerary, we decided to ditch the others since our visit to Seppeltsfield Winery was more than enough!

They've got a good selection of wine that you can taste for free! You can then choose to buy a bottle or two of the drink that you fancy.
After this, we ended our day trip by heading to Tanunda to grab a bite and visit their shops.
This is the first of my Travel Adelaide blog series and I'm excited to show you guys more of this city I've come to love. Visit soon?

Always,
Jeanne

    1. I love this kind of adventure! And to discover a place on your own is much more fun than on a usual way! Would love to try the lavender cookies too! Interesting photos, Jeanne! How was the wine, dear? I'm a fan of sweet ones! ;)

  19. It looks like you did an amazing job with your own Barossa Valley trip! I haven't been so I will have to take your tips into account. I'm quite amazed at the whispering wall. It seems impossible while reading about it on a computer screen so it gives me an excuse to plan another trip away! Haha
    Thanks for sharing!

  20. Sounds like you had a great time! I think road trips like this can be much more fun when you do it yourself, not as rushed as when you're on a tour either! :)

  68. I love stuff like whispering walls! I took my friends to the whispering gallery in NYC'S Grand Central Station and blew their minds. / My mom is obsessed with anything lavender! If I ever find myself in the area, that's a place we'll have to hit. / Ooh la la, wine tasting! #classy #sophisticated ^-^ -Audrey | Brunch at Audrey's
