View all experiences here.The Barossa Valley is home to some of the world’s most treasured grapevines including the earth’s oldest, continuously producing Shiraz, Grenache, Mataro, Cabernet Sauvignon and Semillon vineyards. Today, visitors’ shoes, clothing and car tyres can spread diseases, including phylloxera.
These pests could devastate the Barossa’s ancient vineyards and the broader wine growing region. Protecting the Barossa’s vines and its heritage is simple and a vital cause for us all to own: please don’t walk, ride or drive amongst the vines. Cheers to that!
