Did you know Tanunda is the Aboriginal word for “watering hole”? For a town in the heart of the Barossa Valley, it’s pretty apt.
Here you can quench your thirst at Turkey Flat, widely believed to be the world’s oldest continually producing commercial vineyard. It’s Shiraz vines were planted way back in 1847. Or take a gulp straight from the barrel at Chateau Tanunda—no you won’t be judged, it’s how they do it there.
Though it’s famous for its vineyards, there is more to this little town than wine. You’ll find lots of cute historial buildings (some stunning churches in particular), parks and walking paths, bustling boutiques, and leafy streets dotted with cafes and restaurants for lazy afternoons of people-watching and caffeinating.
Of course it’s not just the pretty stuff you’ll find here. There’s all life’s essentials too like schools, supermarkets, pharmacies, and the rest. Tanunda offers it all.
