Barossa Valley is Australia’s most famous wine producing area. The Barossa Valley was settled by people from Prussia and Silesia in 1842. They came to South Australia from Germany four years earlier to practice their religion free from persecution. They brought their skills and customs which has made the Barossa Valley what it is today. You'll get a taste of the rich cultural legacy in superb Barossa specialty foods, dozens of festivals and events, historic architecture and inspiring arts and antique galleries. You can travel to the Barossa Valley from Adelaide via Gawler, Williamstown, or Springton.
Take a winery tour in a limousine, vintage car, or float above the valley in a hot-air balloon. Wake up in the Barossa after spending the night in a restored settler's cottage, a resort suite, a luxurious country house, or a shady caravan park. Sample German wursts and cakes in heritage bakeries and butcher stores as you follow the Barossa's Butcher, Baker, Winemaker Trail. Get right into the swing of things at one of the 100 events making up the biennial Barossa Vintage Festival.

This is a picturesque path through the hills, valleys, wineries, and towns of the Barossa. The dense concentration of wineries and specialist food producers in the valley reflects its Lutheran pioneer history. The rich heritage of these settlers is evident in the region's reputation not only for fine wines but also for European-style food. The trail incorporates the produce of the region and tastings. Tours at most of the wineries are available. Visit local butchers who specialise in wursts and smallgoods, bakers for fresh breads and cakes and cellar doors for premium wines. Other home-grown specialties include preserves, mustards, sauces, chocolates and olives.
Most towns in the Barossa are only about five to 10 kilometres apart, so there are no long stretches of driving. It's possible to follow the whole trail on a day trip from Adelaide and still see a lot of what it has to offer. You should allow at least two days in the valley, and wine buffs might need a week.

The town of Gawler is situated on 44 km north of Adelaide and with a population of nearly 20,000. Gawler is one of South Australia's largest and most significant historic towns.
It is likely that the district was originally settled by the Kaurna Aborigines. The town was created on 31 January, 1839 and is South Australia's second country town (after Port Adelaide). Named after Governor Gawler, it was laid out by William Jacob to a plan which had been drawn up by Colonel William Light the designer of Adelaide. Light had evaluated the area and chose the townsite as a gateway to the state's north. It was also located beside a river and surrounded by rolling hills. It is such a pleasant environment that it was nicknamed the 'Athens of the South'.
In its early years Gawler was sufficiently remote from Adelaide that it quickly established a separate identity. This was fuelled by the economic success of the area and a boom period which lasted from 1860 until the end of the century saw the construction of many attractive and gracious buildings which gave the town a charm and sophistication.
Today Gawler is a thriving centre in an area dominated by wheat and vineyards. It is an important service centre which is now easily accessible from Adelaide.
Things to see in Gawler are:
* Old Bushman Inn
* Light Square
* Gawler Congregational Church
* Gawler Court House
* St Georges Anglican Church
* St Peter and St Paul's Catholic Church
* Pioneer Park
* H. B. Crosby, Drapers
* Just Drive Around
* Dead Man's Pass
