Getting there & around
There are several routes to the Barossa Valley from Adelaide, with the most direct being via Main North Rd through Elizabeth and Gawler. More picturesque routes go through the Torrens Gorge, then via either Williamstown or Birdwood. If you’re coming from the east and want to tour the wineries before hitting Adelaide, take the scenic route via Springton and Eden Valley to Angaston.

Cycling is a good way to get around the Barossa, particularly along the Para Rd Trail, which wends its way through vineyards.
