The main route that runs through the valley connects the heritage towns of Nuriootpa, Tanunda, Rowland Flat and Lyndoch, which were settled in the 1800s by European immigrants and still reflect their origin to this day. It&#8217;s also within these towns and the surrounding areas that people can discover the seasonal produce and thriving dining scene that has given Barossa its great culinary reputation.<\/p>\n<p>Tanunda is considered one of the valley&#8217;s dining destinations, having grown from the small settlement of Langmeil to become a vibrant food hub with artisans selling their produce in butchers, bakeries and cafes, alongside the town&#8217;s cellar doors. As Barossa&#8217;s commercial centre, meanwhile, the small town of Nuriootpa offers a number of gastronomic spots and wineries for epicureans to step into, including the cellar door of internationally renowned winery <a href=\"https:\/\/www.penfolds.com\/en-gb\/visit-penfolds\/barossa-valley-cellar-door\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Penfolds<\/a>, which arrived in Barossa in 1911.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-6836\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/2016\/09\/BarossaWineValley_iStock_AndreyMoisseyev_www.istockphoto-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"Barossa Wine Region\" width=\"750\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/BarossaWineValley_iStock_AndreyMoisseyev_www.istockphoto-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/BarossaWineValley_iStock_AndreyMoisseyev_www.istockphoto-1536x1023.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/BarossaWineValley_iStock_AndreyMoisseyev_www.istockphoto-330x220.jpg 330w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/BarossaWineValley_iStock_AndreyMoisseyev_www.istockphoto-360x240.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/BarossaWineValley_iStock_AndreyMoisseyev_www.istockphoto-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/BarossaWineValley_iStock_AndreyMoisseyev_www.istockphoto.jpg 1698w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Barossa is also known for its Shiraz vines, some of which were planted as early as 1847. In fact, Barossa encompasses two distinct wine-growing regions \u2013 Barossa Valley and Eden Valley \u2013 each of which has its own characteristics. Owing to its low altitude, Barossa Valley is warm and dry, creating the ideal conditions for Shiraz grapes, while the higher altitude Eden Valley exhibits a cooler climate that&#8217;s best suited to Riesling. Many people say it&#8217;s this diversity of growing conditions that has resulted in the Barossa Valley&#8217;s success as a premier wine-growing region.<\/p>\n<p>The wineries behind labels that can be found on tables and in wine cellars worldwide, sit alongside family-run outfits amidst the valley&#8217;s vines. Big or small, each one of these takes pride in the valley&#8217;s heritage, celebrating the identity of the valley today through a series of annual festivals: The Cellar Door Wine Festival in February, followed by Aussie Wine Month in April, and Barossa Gourmet Weekend in August.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-6837\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/2016\/09\/VineyardsatSunsetBarossa_iStock_deyangeorgiev_www.istockphoto-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"Barossa Wine Region\" width=\"750\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/VineyardsatSunsetBarossa_iStock_deyangeorgiev_www.istockphoto-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/VineyardsatSunsetBarossa_iStock_deyangeorgiev_www.istockphoto-1536x1023.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/VineyardsatSunsetBarossa_iStock_deyangeorgiev_www.istockphoto-330x220.jpg 330w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/VineyardsatSunsetBarossa_iStock_deyangeorgiev_www.istockphoto-360x240.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/VineyardsatSunsetBarossa_iStock_deyangeorgiev_www.istockphoto-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/VineyardsatSunsetBarossa_iStock_deyangeorgiev_www.istockphoto.jpg 1698w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Barossa&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sacompanystore.com.au\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">South Australian Company Store<\/a> sits within Angaston, surrounded by lush vineyards.
