One day in the Barossa Valley Hi everyone,
Visiting soon and will have one day with a hire car to explore the Barossa Valley. Enjoy wine, but not huge drinkers so...

We always stop at Maggie Beer's Farm Shop for lunch when we're in the area.

There’s a couple towns in the Barossa, Nuriootpa isn’t very touristy but they do have the farm kitchen (see earlier comment), Angaston which has a couple older buildings, a blacksmith that still might be open and fancy cheese shop as well as other stuff like that, Tanunda hasn’t got a lot I feel for tourists but I’m sure you could find something there you would like. I lived there for a couple years but this sort of stuff never interested me, there’s a nice hiking trail with a very long German naming starting with k that’s great for a picnic kangaroos around etc

There's the [Whispering Wall](http://www.barossa.com/related/56 b26 e252 cbcbe7073 ae68 c1/_Whispering-Wall) and, if you like bush walking, there's the [Barossa Goldfields Walking Trail](http://www.barossa.com/visit/see-do/walking-trails/barossa-goldfields-walking-trail).

Bit of an oddball suggestion, but Allerei on the main st in Tanunda is great. It's full of home made pickles, jams, and handmade knickknacks your grandma would make. Cash only :)

If you're not into wine maybe consider somewhere else? Lots of lovely places to see in the Adelaide hills...

Seppeltsfields is a great stop even if you don't drink the wine.

To be honest, my wife and I visited earlier this year and it's basically all just wine and food. Neither of us are really into wine so that was over half the things to do cut out already. The food is good, definitely recommend Maggie Beers Farm Shop (it has nice grounds to walk around also). The Angaston Farmers market on Saturday morning was really good we had a delicious breakfast there. We spent the rest of the day going around Angaston/Nuriootpa/Tanunda. However we'd allowed the whole weekend to explore all the towns and we'd done it all on Saturday with time to spare. So on Sunday after we had breakfast we just came home. So basically, definitely go to the farmers market in Angaston for breakfast, you won't regret it. It does start pretty early though.
Recommendations for Wineries and Cellar Doors to visit in the Barossa Valley & McLaren Vale please! Hi r/wine! I will be spending a long weekend between the Barossa...

A few I'm yet to visit myself but one of my best mates lives and works in the Barossa. * Hentley Farm - go there for lunch, it'll cost a bit but it's a nice winery and they have a hatted restaurant - food is fantastic! * Rockford - if you can pick up a some Basket Press you'll have some of the most sought after wines in Australia (limit of three per person and you can only buy at cellar door, if they actually have any available). * Henschke - I just love their wines * Elderton - from a close mate who is brand ambassador at Jacob's Creek, he said their cellar door is great. * St Hugo's Restaurant - from said mate, he said their eight course degustation is one of the best in the Barossa.

When in McLaren Vale I always make a point of visiting d'Arenberg, it's a nice spot with a good selection. Paxtons also have a good range of organic wines if that's your thing. Have a good time, which kind of goes without saying when wine tasting!
ChadOGroin replied:
My suggestions are: * Torbreck - great cellar door and great wines. Totally worth it * Turkey Flat do some great wines (south end of Nuriootpa) * Get lunch at Fermentasian in Nuriootpa if you can. The wine list is amazing and the food is superb. * Try some local beers and gin - the microbrewery and distillery scene is really growing in the area and worth a try.

Torbreck makes absolutely delicious shiraz viognier varieties! If I were you i would make sure to take a trip out there.

D'Arenberg, Coriole, Penfolds at Magill, Bird in Hand. While you're in Adelaide, check out the National Wine Centre on Botanic Road, really nice place.
