Barossa Valley
Spent a couple days in wine country, north of Adelaide. Lots of great Shiraz, Grenache, and even some Rieslings. We did a wine tour, driven around in a 1962 Daimler Majestic Major limousine. Top shelf!
Stayed in a B&B across the road from the Seppeltsfield winery, founded in 1851.
During the depression of the late 1920’s, when wine production was way down, Seppelt kept all his workers on and had them plant over 2000 palm trees in the vicinity of the winery. They all still stand along the roadways.
At the Yalumba winery we were lucky enough to watch two coopers making oak barrels, all by hand. The oak either comes from America (Missouri) or France.
