With COVID-19 restrictions eased but still in place, what CAN you do in the Barossa?

Now that regional travel is allowed within South Australia we are dreaming and planning that long awaited getaway. But with some restrictions still in place many are wondering, what is there to do if I come to the Barossa?

(Apart from just coming for a wonderful relaxing time in our luxury vineyard accommodation!)

It’s a great question!!  There are still so many fantastic local establishments offering take away options and with further restrictions eased this week some can now seat limited people at their venues again. Which is exciting for all of us!
There are also so many local cellar doors offering a click and collect service and much more.

Here is a quick update of our best picks for food, wine and activities to enjoy right now in the Barossa.

Some of our favourite restaurants have adapted their menus for take away and some will even deliver right to your door. What better way to spend a chilly night in than with your own personally cooked takeaway dinner and a good bottle of wine by the fireplace. Yes please!  If you want to dine in there are limited seats available at some places… seats are filling fast though so bookings are essential.
