Barossa and Clare Valley

The Barossa Valley is about 60 km north-east of Adelaide and settled by German migrants in the 1840s, with Tanunda, Nuriootpa and Angaston the main towns. Continue north about 100 km from Adelaide to the Clare Valley and its 35 km sealed Riesling Trail between Auburn and Clare. Plan ahead for cellar door opening hours.
