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).
