3 Places to Visit when in Barossa Valley, Australia

True, wine isn’t as synonymous with Australia as the kangaroo is, but believe me when I tell you Australia is no stranger to fine wine.

Being a full-service travel agency located in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, there is one particular place we want to bring to your attention... it’s called the Barossa Valley, and it has vineyards credited with growing some of Australia’s world-famous wines.

Wine-centric activities await you at the Barossa Valley so if you have a soft spot for kangaroos and the finer things in life, head over to Australia.

• The Harvest Kitchen

Here’s a riddle for you: What do you call someone who’s relaxing under the sun with a glass of Barossa Valley’s finest wine in hand? A happy vacationer at the well-known Harvest Kitchen. If you’ve never had a taste of the famed Hobbs Viognier, step into this restaurant.

The Harvest Kitchen is known for more than wine, too. It serves fried chicken that has a taste few other restaurants can match. A host of other delicacies fill up the restaurant’s menu too, so there’s definitely going to be something new for you to try.

• Discovery Parks

This is one of the first places you’ll see once you get on the road to Barossa. There will be a mismatched but delightful array of cars and caravans all around the place, adding some life to the otherwise quiet and mundane camping ground it would have been.

If you love being around people, then you will love being in these parks. You will see merry kids and adults catching fun, so the parks double as a family vacation spot too. Add a picturesque landscape into the mix and it’s complete, making it the perfect place to be.

• Appellation at the Louise

The name of this place gives it away. In addition to being world-recognized, the Appellation at the Louise is one of the classiest destinations for South Australian dining. And that is not an accolade only valid on paper.

The restaurant’s location-the full vineyards of the Barossa-lends itself to the elegance of Appellation at the Louise. The food there, as well as the service, is excellent too; over 80% of the ingredients are locally-sourced from South Australia. Everything you eat, despite how exotic it might seem to you, was taken right from kitchen gardens and nearby farms.
