Visit to Barossa Valley, South Australia




We decided to take a trip to the Barossa Valley while in Adelaide as we'd never been there. We took the fantastic "taste the Barossa" tour which we would highly recommend!





Each vineyard was very unique, and the wines were all amazing!





Midway through the day we had a lovely lunch at the Peter Lehmann vineyard, which had my favorite wines of the day (although we tasted an excellent port at Langmeil vineyards, as in the photo below).

Trip to Adelaide




Tim had a conference in Adelaide, so I flew down to join him. We stayed in an amazing hotel in Glenelg, with spectacular views (see above). We did lots of cool things, including a visit to the Barossa, but in Adelaide the best thing we did was visit the natural history museum and see the great exhibit of Australian Wildlife (see below). A really well-thought out exhibit.
