6 January - Barossa Feast

6 January 2017 – 204 818
Barossa Feast


Today we wandered around the Barossa tasting the delightful foods and wines, and enjoying the sights.  
We began with a wander through Nuriootpa, before heading to Penfolds winery, followed by Yelland and Papps Winery.  
Drew was specifically looking for straight Grenache, not blended with other wines.  Next up, we drove to Tanunda.  
We visited Peter Lehman Wines, St Johns Lutheran Church and drove past the early traditional German style homes.  
Morning tea was Bienenstich and German Fruit Cake – the Bienenstich at this bakery was every bit as good as I remember!  Rockford Winery was our next destination, Drew’s all time favourite Grenache – and we stocked up.  
We then drove through Bethany, admiring the old village, before heading up the hill to Bethany Wines, where I purchased there beautiful White Port.  
From Mengler Hill we could lookout over the Barossa Valley and see just how much is vineyard.  After a picnic lunch, we drove to Kie’s Winery, where I stocked up on their beautiful Tawny Port.  Next up, was Gully Gardens – with the most delicious dried stone fruits, apricots, peaches, plums and even nectarines.  
This was followed by the Baroosa Valley Cheese Company, which makes a beautiful creamy Camembert.  Last up for the day was Yalumba Winery, followed by the German Smallgoods Butcher in Nuriootpa to buy sauerkraut and german sausages (brattwrust, mettwurst, laberwurst).
