 lovinoz Says:  This is a very upmarket restaurant on the main street of Tanunda. The atmosphere inside is cozy and romantic, but would also be appropriate for a lunch or dinner business meeting. The food is excellent which is reflected by the high prices. I have only eaten here once, but...

Have a great day out, without worrying about drink driving. There is a great little bus company that I see daily taking tours to the Barossa!!! (as I live on the route that they take through the scenic adelaide Hills). The buses are not overly big, so there will only be about 16 people aboard. They take you to the Barossa Valley, around selected wineries, and to a nice bbq for lunch..Also visits the Whispering Wall, and the Giant Rocking Horse(on my Adelaide page) Fun seems to be had by all. All this for around $70.00 per person!!!!

Some really nice wines available here!

We visited Langmeil Winery in Tanunda, at the request of Tina/perth! What a good choice that turned out to be!
When there try their 2005 Three Gardens Shiraz Blend. Its a wonderful red..and not expensive at about $20.00 a bottle..
If you order through their website, then you get another discount .
Langmeil Winery can be found at the corner of Para and Langmeil Rd Tanunda, in the heart of our wonderful Barossa Valley.

If you are in your own car, or in a hire vehicle, remember that all those wine tastings add up, and in South Australia we have drink driving laws that are very strict.. The limit is 0.5 for fully licensed drivers, and nil alcohol for drivers to the age of 19.(known as P Platers)
