Barossa Valley

We rented a car with a group of friends and went out to the Napa Valley of Australia...Barossa Valley. Shawn got to drive on the wrong side of the road...we started heading straight into oncoming traffic only once so we will consider this day a victory.



Barossa Valley was founded by British and German immigrants in the 1840s and is considered to be one of the world's greatest wine production regions alongside Napa, Bordeaux and Tuscany.


It is a picturesque region and is popular for weddings because we saw around 5 bridal parties taking pictures and wineries being set up for receptions.



A picture of our group front left to right: Sarah, Armando, Scott, Erin and Shawn. All of us are American except for Armando who is Mexican. He's pretty close though!












We visited around 7 wineries including 1 that has significant international reach, Jacob's Creek, and a winery that has been around for many years, Peter Lehmann. We even got to pick at some grapes.







Then we ended the day at the beach...
