Welcome to Adelaide the city of churches. If you require to get away try our Adelaide car rental service to visit all this beautiful city. Adelaide is special in the way it blends (like a fine wine) the conveniences of the urban scape with the tranquility of being able to get away in your rental car to the Barossa Valley only a few kilometers away. The Barossa is Australia’s best known wine-producing area. Along with nearby Eden Valley, it offers a landscape of vine-covered hills dotted with historic villages, stone cottages, and the grand buildings of old wine estates. It is also a place of rich culture. These traditions are based on a 150-year history of German settlement and can be seen in every aspect of life, from the spires of the Lutheran churches to the local German breads and pastries. Only an hour from Adelaide, and boasting some of the best restaurants and accommodation of any regional area, the Barossa is a popular weekend destination. Whereas many parts of Australia have developed gourmet credentials over the last decade or so, the Barossa has a culinary heritage that goes back 150 years. German-style baking is a highlight: try the Lyndoch Bakery, or the Apex Bakery in Tanunda, established 70 years ago. Old-fashioned ice-cream is made and served at Tanunda’s Nice Ice and in Angaston you’ll find the shopfront for Australia’s biggest processor of dried fruit Angus Park Fruit Company. Maggie Beer’s Farm Shop at Nuriootpa sells the products that have made her name, while Angastori Gourmet Foods is a great place for all the region’s best products. |
