Barossa Valley Part 3

There are so many wineries to visit in the Barossa that you can only chose a few and its always good to get recommendations which we did. We really enjoyed Langmeil Wines in Tanunda which had an amazing history, it started as a blacksmith shop and then he planted Shiraz grapes in 1832  which still survive today and are they believe are the oldest Shiraz vines that produce wine in the world today.
They have restored the blacksmith shop, bakers and the water well. The wine was very pleasant and we enjoyed the whole wine taste experience.

It was our wedding anniversary so we had sorted a lunch at a winery which  proved a bit tricky as many places were not open on a Wednesday but we enjoyed our lunch at Lou Miranda Estate just out of Tanunda.

We had been told to go back to Sppeltsfield Wines which we had visited in 2008 as they had undergone a massive rebuild and so we did. It was worthwhile as they have completely re-modernised the place,so it was interesting to see. It is such an impressive place with beautiful buildings and gardens.
