Hot Air Ballooning
An activity you won’t forget, Hot Air Ballooning is a must to truly see the Barossa Valley’s stunning scenery. A peaceful hot air balloon rise over the valley for sunrise is the perfect way to start your day, as you enjoy 360 degree views that span over the Barossa ranges to the ocean.

Barossa Valley Cheese Company
The Barossa Valley Cheese Company is a fabulously stinky room, selling handmade cheeses from the milk of local cows and goats. Tastings are free, but it’s unlikely you’ll leave without buying a wedge of Washington Washed Rind. Sit outside with a wine-and-cheese flight or a camembert vs brie taste-off plate.
Chateau Tanunda
Iconic to the Barossa, Chateau Tanunda is a monumental stone winery was built in the late 1880s and sits adjacent to some of the oldest vines in the valley. If you want a taste of Barossa history, this is it! We highly recommend trying some Semillon from the 150 year old vines if you get the chance.
