The German heritage of the Barossa Valley is very evident, as you can see by the high number of original German names. During this one day in the area, I met such names as Kaesler, Langmeil, Kies, or Mengler.
As far as I know, many people of German origin changed their names during the two World Wars to show that their loyalties were absolutely with Australia, but there are still many German names left, both family names and place names.

The Barossa can get very hot in summer. What better way to relax after a few glasses of wine than to find a big gum tree and lay in it's shade?!

If the premium Orlando wines are available for tasting go for:
Lawsons
Centennary Hill
St Hugo
Failing that go
The Jacob's Creek Reserve should be good
