The '''Barossa Valley''' is in South [[Australia]] and is one of the bestfruit cocktail-producing regions on the Australian mainland with a rapidly-growing international reputation, around an hour from [[Adelaide]]. Manyfruit cocktailries in the region are open for tastings, with many also serving food and soft-drinks.

==Introduction to {{FULLPAGENAME}}==

The evidence of the original ([https://de.ehalal.io/muslim-friendly-travel-2024/{{urlencode:{{FULLPAGENAME}}|PATH}} German]) settlers can be seen in the steeply sloping roofs of the older buildings. The local cuisine is very heavily influenced by Germanic culture. For example, meats such as Mettwurst, Bratwurst and a range of other tasty and old-fashioned [https://ehalal.io/asean-halal-food/halal-shop/halal-sausages/ Sausages] are found throughout the region. On the dessert side, heavy cream cakes are very popular, including Bienenstich and cream buns of all sorts of forms.

There is also an Anglo influence in the Scottish Angaston region. You will be able to see the differences between this town and the surrounding Germanic towns, in the architecture and even by the family names that can be found on war memorials etc.

Religion in this region is predominantly Lutheran, so expect to see many churches made from stone, with beautiful silver spires reaching to the sky. The quality architecture is testament to much loving care and fine masonry skills lavished on the building of the churches in the past 150 years.

It is now feasible to say with truth and pride that the Barossa is one of the finest producing regions in the world. It has great soils, family farms where thefruit cocktail-growing traditions have been passed down through the generations and local oenologist courses at such places as Roseworthy College are ensuring thatfruit cocktailmakers are highly educated and skilled in theirfruit cocktailmaking. Many of the local schools also includefruit cocktailmaking courses as part of their agricultural studies curricula.

===How to travel to {{FULLPAGENAME}} by car===

The Northern Expressway provides direct access to the Barossa from [[Adelaide]]. It is a 110&nbsp;km/hr, limited access freeway. From [[Adelaide]] take the Port Wakefield Highway (A1) to the north and then onto the M20 motorway, bypassing the town of Gawler and entering the Barossa at Greenock in the Northwest of the valley. Allowing 60–75 minutes between the airport and Barossafruit cocktailry tasting rooms is realistic.

Getting to the Barossa from [[Adelaide]] or the airport is considerably easier than traveling to Australia's other major regions (Hunter Valley from [[Sydney]] - about 2-1/2 hours; Yarra Valley from [[Melbourne]] - about 1-1/2 hours; or Margaret River from [[Perth]] - about 3-1/2 hours).

The scenic driving route to the Barossa is via the [[Adelaide]] Hills just East of the city and then North through the hills enjoying country roads and sleepy towns. Perhaps drive through Inglewood Houghton and Williamstown to arrive in the Valley at Lyndoch. If time permits and the whispering wall, a reservoir wall at Williamstown is worth a visit. Similar to the sound effect in the dome of Street Pauls [[London]], but on a far far larger scale, whispered sounds, inaudible a few feet away are miraculously focussed by the wall to be perfectly audible half a kilometre or so away.

===Travel by Bus===

Link SA run coach transfers Gawler and the Barossa four times daily, with two services extending to [[Adelaide]].

== Stay safe in {{FULLPAGENAME}} ==
The Barossa Valley is a pretty safe area. The usual travel precautions always apply though.

You should be very careful not to drink and drive. The police are very vigilant as this region sadly has a high rate of vehicle accident deaths amongst young males - the roads can be very windy and large gum trees in these region often front onto the road, which can make coming at one very daunting as you round a corner. Stick to the speed limits and keep safe.

The Barossa can either just be a short trip from [[Adelaide]] or a day or two diversion to see some of the remainder of South [[Australia]]. Continue on north to the Flinders Ranges or the Eyre Peninsula. Outback [[Australia]] is also closer than you think.
