The Barossa is home to some of the oldest Shiraz, Grenache, Cabernet Sauvignon and Semillon vineyards in the world.

The Barossa Region is SA’s food and wine tourism flagship well supported by trails for cycling, walking and riding. Colonial heritage and culinary traditions inspired by early settlers are alive and well, with cultural food experiences including cooking schools, artisan products, farmers markets and restaurants.

Three major contributors to the Region`s agricultural output are broadacre cropping, livestock and fruit production. 

The Barossa Region has a rich cultural and historical affinity with horses, including a state-of-the art Equine Health and Performance Centre situated in the Roseworthy Campus of the University of Adelaide.
