Highlights
Drive the Barossa Valley yourself, with a GPS audio guide that plays automatically as you go. Your booking unlocks the whole region in the free Wine Trails app: pick your date and starting point — Tanunda is the classic start, but Angaston, Nuriootpa or Lyndoch work just as well — choose the cellar doors you want to visit, and the app builds your personal route with turn-by-turn narration. 91 narrated stories cover the valley's people and places: as you pass Peter Lehmann Wines in Tanunda you'll hear why Peter Lehmann walked away from a corporate job in 1979 rather than abandon the growers he had given his word to. No group, no schedule, no guide — stop as long as you like at any cellar door, replay anything, and because the tour downloads to your phone, the audio keeps working when the signal drops on the back roads. You'll need a car and a designated driver; tastings are booked and paid directly with the wineries.

Itinerary
The Barossa's heritage-stone main street of bakeries, churches and cellar doors, and the default start point for the drive.
Built by the Basedow family in 1890 from local golden stone, it remains the largest and oldest wine chateau in Australia, with underground tunnels linking its barrel halls.
Home of the Barossa Valley's oldest Shiraz vineyard, on the North Para River land twelve Prussian families settled in 1842 and named Langmeil.
The Tanunda winery founded by the Angaston-born winemaker who broke with his corporate owners in 1979 rather than abandon the growers he had given his word to.
The estate at the head of Seppeltsfield Road whose Centennial Collection of fortified wine runs unbroken back to 1878.
An award-winning restaurant and cellar door on Seppeltsfield Road at Seppeltsfield, among old-vine Shiraz and Grenache.
A Marananga estate on Roennfeldt Road in the heart of the Barossa's most prized old-vine country.
On Murray Street in Greenock, farmed by the Kalleske family since 1853 across seven generations of ironstone and red clay country.
Home of the Barossa Farmers Market, running every Saturday morning since 2002 under a strict rule that everything sold is grown or made in the Barossa.
The Angaston landmark on Eden Valley Road; the audio tells the story of Samuel Smith, who sailed for Angaston in 1847 and dug his first vineyard by moonlight.
At Keyneton on the Eden Valley ridge, where cooler air at 400-500 metres and ancient schist soils feed the Hill of Grace vineyard's pre-1860 vines.
Established in 1842 by Silesian Lutheran families, the oldest surviving German settlement in Australia, still laid out on the Hufendorf plan.

About Barossa Valley
The Barossa Valley, north-east of Adelaide, is one of Australia's best-known wine regions, with old Shiraz vines and a strong German heritage.
Lutheran settlers from Prussia and Silesia arrived in the 1840s and planted vines, and their stone churches, farmhouses and bakeries still shape the valley's towns. Tanunda, Nuriootpa and Angaston are the main centres, linked by roads that run between rows of vines and low, dry hills. Some of the Shiraz vines here are well over a century old.
Top-ranked sights in Barossa Valley: Seppeltsfield Wines, Mengler Hill Lookout, Whispering Wall.
