Kies Family Wines home to the Monkey Nut Cafe
Travel through the northern eastern suburbs of Adelaide into the Adelaide Hills to arrive in the Barossa Valley at Kies Family Wines.
Kies Family Wines first opened their cellar door in 1985 in a quaint little cottage in the southern Barossa Valley, where they have continued to build on their legion of fans under their slogan and philosophy of "A Taste of Happiness". Today Bronson, a sixth generation Kies family member continues making the high quality and popular wines following the same philosophy as winemakers before him.
​Kies is also home to the Monkey Nut Cafe, a great place to fulfil your morning tea cravings.
Tanunda's Main Street
Enjoy the opportunity to explore the township in the heart of the Barossa, Tanunda.
​Home to historic stone cottages, churches and homes dating back to the 1850's, Tanunda's Main Street is today a popular shopping and tourist strip where fashion stores, book shops, antiques, collectables, cafe's and restaurants line the commercial heart of Murray Street.
​Today enjoy an easy stroll and explore the many attractions and history that the Main Street offers and pay a visit to the Barossa Valley tourist centre to buy a gift or two.
Barossa Valley Chocolate Company
As we travel through the heart of the Barossa Valley, you will no doubt recognise some of the names of the wineries as we are surrounded by a continuous sea of vineyards.
Next we visit the Barossa Valley Chocolate Company, home to chocolate, ice cream and Vineyard Road Wines. Here you will discover over 250 chocolate products handmade in the Barossa using premium, sustainable Belgian and Australian chocolate. Purchase some gifts for yourself prior to heading to lunch.
Mengler Hill Lookout
Next we head for the Barossa Ranges and gain some elevation to arrive at the local Mengler Hill Lookout. Here you will take in the uninterrupted views across the Barossa Valley. Your guide will take this opportunity to point out different landmarks and explain the development of the Barossa over the generations. Make sure to get a photo with this majestic backdrop.
The Company Kitchen
Visit the SA Company Store, home to The Company Kitchen for a delicious 2 course lunch.
The Company Kitchen is located on the outskirts of the township of Angaston neighbouring the historic Yalumba winery and also Lindsay House, the original home for the Angas Family since the 1840s.
The chef draws from the locally grown produced and food traditions from the Barossa to create dishes that take you on a gastronomic adventure, all whilst overlooking vineyards, olive groves and a picturesque garden. Sit back and enjoy!
Kaesler Wines
After lunch travel through the vineyards and the northern township of Nurioopta. Arrive at Kaesler Wines which sits opposite to the renown Kaiser Stuhl chateau, once home to a winery itself and one of the few castle style buildings in the Barossa.
The first owners of Kaesler vineyards arrived from Silesia in the 1840s and took up 96 acres of land in 1891, planting a large number of different varieties of vines. Many of the gnarly old shiraz vines that you see on arriving are an example of some of the plantings that survive today.
​Winemaker Reid Bosward and his crew have set out to produce bold estate wines representative of the Barossa Valley and have continued on winning many awards for their rich and intensely flavoured wines which are as well known for their names (the Old Bastard and The Bogan) as they are for their brilliant premium qualities. Enjoy a tasting of some of the Kaesler range today.
​
Seppeltsfield
One of Australia's oldest wineries, Seppeltsfield was founded by Joseph Ernst Seppelt in 1851. Today the winery is known for the Seppeltsfield Para 100-year-old Tawny with the original 500 litre barrel being first cellared in 1878.
​The estate is home to the Jam Factory studio and gallery which consists of artisans and makers producing hats, leather goods, ceramics and knives just to name a few and Vasse Virgin where you can experience the wonders of olive oil and its therapeutic benefits.
​Enjoy time at Seppeltsfield to taste some of their wines and explore the different offerings throughout the estate.
Travel back to Adelaide
On departing the Barossa Valley, you will experience the picturesque vistas and avenue of date palms of the iconic Seppeltsfield winery and their historic Terraced Vineyard before travelling through the Adelaide Plains arriving back in Adelaide by 5.15 pm.
