BBC - Travel - Beyond the vines in Australia’s Barossa Valley : Food & Drink, Australia: "Around 70km north of Adelaide lies one of Australia’s oldest wine districts. In the Barossa Valley, rows of luscious emerald vines stretch into the distance, lapping against the base of rolling golden hills. Charming bluestone cottages and sandstone bungalows pop out of the green like tropical islands, and depending on the season you might pass magnificently vibrant flower fields in dazzling yellows, deep purples and bright reds.

Despite the spectacular scenery, however, the allure for most travellers has long been the region’s wine. The Barossa Valley is home to more than 150 wineries, including some of Australia most famous, such as Penfolds, Jacob’s Creek, Peter Lehmann, Seppletsfield and Wolf Blass. Shiraz vines thrive in Barossa’s temperate climate, and cabernet shiraz, cabernet sauvignon and riesling are also growing in popularity."
