Best of Tanunda
What to see and do in Tanunda ?
Wine lovers will have the holiday of a lifetime in Tanunda. One of the most popular of the towns in the Barossa Valley, Tanunda retains a strong German character while nearby Angaston is influenced by its British links.
Classed as one of Australia’s foremost wine-growing areas, the vineyards are the town’s major attraction. For an outstanding view of the vast vineyards surrounding the town, climb up Mengler Hill, which is just out of town towards Angaston.
Vineyards have been part of the landscape for over 150 years and visitors can visit one of the world’s oldest vines used for commercial wine production today. The vines at Turkey Flat were first planted in 1847 by Johann Frederick August Fiedler. While older vines exist around the world, the Shiraz vines at Turkey Flat are the only ones still producing enough fruit for commercial use.
Tanunda’s other historic wineries include Peter Lehmann Wines, who were named as Wine Company of the Year 2013, in addition to Langmeil, Chateau Tanunda, Lambert Estate and Richmond Grove. As well as touring the vineyards at these wineries, visitors can discover the historic buildings and grounds. Guided tours also provide visitors with a chance to learn about wine making and, of course, taste the different varieties and vintages produced.
Outside of the wineries, Tanunda’s town centre holds many further attractions. The distinctive churches provide a fascinating insight into Tanunda’s history. The villages which were joined under the name Tanunda were settled by Prussian immigrants in the 1840s. Visitors can explore no fewer than four Lutheran churches, which are testament to the strong religious beliefs of the early settlers. The town’s domestic architecture is also a delight to discover – from original ironstone cottages and barns to grand colonial villas.
Of course, the town’s great restaurants and cafés are also a joy to become acquainted with – especially with a glass of the local produce in hand.
