The Best Bakeries in the Barossa
Pasties, vanilla slices, sourdough and German crumb cake - where to find the valley's best baking.
The Barossa's daily bread
The valley's German settlers brought a deep love of bread and cake, and nearly two centuries later the Barossa is still bakery country. Some trade in the old classics - meat pies, pasties, streuselkuchen - while a newer wave works long-fermented sourdough and laminated pastry. These are the ones to seek out, ideally before they sell out.
