The Barossa is one of the world’s great wine regions, renowned for its food and wine, cultural experiences and easy-going lifestyle.

History: Barossa: "After establishing the South Australian Company, philanthropist and entrepreneur George Fife Angas employed Johannes Menge, gifted linguist and mineralogist, in the late 1830s to explore the local colony. After his expedition, Menge wrote to Angas detailing the Barossa as "the cream, the whole cream and nothing but the cream".

After this positive advice, Angas assisted the passage of an entire European community brought from various Prussian provinces including German speaking settlers from Silesia (now part of Poland). The settlers cleared land for mixed farming, built churches and schools and planted small vineyards, some of which have remained in the same family name."
