Day Trip

The Barossa Icons Day

The famous names every first-timer should tick off

1 day First-time visitors and wine pilgrims 3 stops

If you have one day and want to taste the Barossa's legend, this is the route. It links the estates and landmarks that made the valley famous, from grand historic wineries to a cult producer in an 1850s stone barn.

The plan

Start beneath the date-palm avenue of historic Seppeltsfield, where you can taste a fortified from your birth year (book ahead). Head to Maggie Beer's Farm Eatery near Nuriootpa for lunch with the region's most beloved food name, then make the pilgrimage to Rockford, the traditional, basket-press producer of the legendary Basket Press Shiraz. Finish at the Whispering Wall on the way back towards Adelaide for a landmark detour. It's a big day - book ahead and consider a driver. The Eatery serves lunch Thursday to Monday.
