The Barossa food and produce trail
Bakeries, butchers, cheese and farm gates - eat your way across the valley
The plan
The Barossa is as much a food region as a wine one - its German settler heritage left a deep tradition of baking, curing and preserving that still runs through every village. This trail strings together the makers: a bakery, a butcher, a cheesemaker, a farm and a long lunch.
Go hungry, bring a cooler bag, and treat the car as a moving pantry. Most of these are casual daytime stops, easy to combine with a cellar door or two.
How to do it
Start with breakfast baking, graze through smallgoods and cheese mid-morning, then land at a farm eatery for a proper lunch. Finish with provisions for home.
