Continuing our wanders through the Barossa we started the day with perfect clear crisp and sunny weather. The caravan population were out on the common watching a family of kookaburras eat from a guys hand and all was right in the world. The leaves in Nuriootpa are just starting to change and will be brilliant in another week or two.
Straight out to Maggie Beers. I thought it would be just a huge commercial push, but it is quite personal and well set up. There are lots of products and you can taste test pretty much all of it which kept Ross happy. The prices are not too bad and the setting beautiful. In the midst of their farm - a cafe/shop, function centre, orchards, pond with accompanying turtles and pheasant runs. The coffee was great. South Australia (minus Kangaroo Island) has really good coffee.
We continued on and found the oldest - a trip down memory lane - the older vineyards are brilliant from and architectural point of view and often product as well. They were set up as virtual towns when they first opened and had everything on the spot - Seppetsfield, And Tununda are both great examples of this. Huge cellar areas - not always the best wines.
