Day 15 - Barossa Valley
We started with a great breakfast at the Hill House B&B, something that is important because right afterwards we went on the “Barossa Wine Lovers Tour” throughout the Barossa Valley. Five different wineries with a six-ten wines to taste do require a good base or you will end the day singing.
Went to Yalumba (big, though very nice place), Bethany (very nice and a great selection), Wolf Blass (basically a big, bland, wine factory with a merchandise shop. Avoid if possible), Gibson’s BarossaVale (tiny place, great wine! go there if you have only one winery to visit) and finally to Chateau Tanunda (busy place but the wine tasting was ok and also a lot of story-telling about the chateau).
While I still think that blending wine together is questionable at best and probably a shooting offense everywhere in France, I do like the Australian red wine. For white wine, they will probably need another fifty years or so to catch up. I the end I skipped most of the white wines because they all tasted the same to me.
