The lady who greeted us, sat us straight down and started pouring us nips of moscato to try which she would talk about as we tasted. beautiful frizzante style, very light and summery, I recommend the Rosa version which is slightly less sweet. Of course Grant Burge is very good for Shiraz, The Barossa in general is big on this grape variety. We tried about 7 styles, generally at the end you are expected to buy a bottle, you would be crazy not to really unless you're on some sort of wine tour and you're stupidly drunk already.

Barossa Gourmet Weekend saw us buying a ticket to their lunch and tasting event…read more Recommended by a close friend that this is the place one comes for fortified liquid gold, I truly was looking forward to visiting this place. It is a quaint little winery south of the famous Barossa Valley. Family owned and run by Janet and Ron Liebich for the past few decades, this clearly is held together by love spanning three generations and counting. Liebich Wein literally means "Love I Wine" in German for the trivia enthusiasts. Greeted by a French backpacker who is helping out the family, we were encouraged to try their wines and fortifieds while they put on the finishing touches to the lunch. The fortified wines I had was delicious, starting from young to old vintages. I learnt that you can come and purchase fortified in bulk for a very very reasonable price. For example, 1 litre of muscat is only $10.00, $7.50 for the Ruby Grenache. Wines starting from $15.00 a bottle! I can't believe how awesome this place is for value. Moving on to our lunch, we were ushered into their barrel room. We were surrounded by walls of wine barrels which gave an otherwise cold feel to this tin shed. The place was run very casually to the point where the adjective unorganised might pop up more than once. We found it amusing and charming. Foodwise, I had the pork and rabbit brawn, a falafel and a vego pattie, while the girls who ate meat had the lamb kibbi and beef and pork sausage roll. All was presented on a wooden platter with our flight of wines. It was all lovely, but didn't hit the spot on a cold spring afternoon. I guess we were hoping for more hearty offerings. Nevermind, the generous wines and tastings more than made up for it. We left slightly tipsey and me, with a rare bottle of semillion. Off to our next destination!

Some wineries you get to try a couple of their list, maybe even more every now and again…read more At Langmeil you can try 16+ of their delicious wines, all for freesies* Personally, their bigger wines - Cab Sauvs and Shiraz - are not the best Barossa has to offer, but where Langmeil really kick their goals are in the lighter varietals. Their Barbera, Grenache, Tannat are all exceptional - the highlight being the Three Gardens SMG blend that really showcases their strength (and for a total bargain price too). I'm not the world's biggest port fan, but those in our party that were swooned at their Tawny. Staff were super nice even though they were busy at times juggling different groups. Been to the Barossa a heap and almost ashamed that this was my first time here - will be back soon for sure. * Of course you'll leave with a bottle or 12

I don't think our server even said a word the whole time, just poured wine and walked away. Lucky the wine is good enough to smooth over an average cellar door experience though!

Beautiful grounds, fantastic staff…read more Another stop on my trailhopper tour of the Barossa Valley. Stepping onto the beautiful property you knew this was going to be a great stop. I was offered a variety of tasting options, but of course I went with the wine and chocolate pairing. Two of my favorite things. Yeah. The paired chocolates came from a local German chocolatier- Cuvée. It's mid morning so let's start with bubbles. 2021 Dry Rosé $20AU was accompanied by Bianco 35%. The very light Grenache had simply the perfect hint of strawberries. Delicate. With the white chocolate melting on your tongue, it was a devine strawberry and cream sensation. 2021 Garden of Eden Shiraz $25AU was paired with Soleo 42%. Had a slightly dry finish, light tannins, and my favorite mix of cherry and blackberry. The milk chocolate was still a rich flavor with a hint of caramel. 2019 Blockhead Shiraz Grenache $26AU with Amphora 65%. This wine was first released in 2017 and is designed to be drink now wine. Very food friendly. Plum and red berries with a spicy finish. Definitely needed the bold blend of this chocolate. Light fruit up front finishing with layers of natural acidity. 2020 Butchers Cart Shiraz $35AU accompanied Grand Cru 75%. This lush velvet wine had a hint of American Oak. Blackberry, plum, and black pepper. The chocolate had cherry and plum notes. I love dark chocolate, so this was my favorite. I will totally return they have SO many other Shiraz to taste my way through. On a beautiful day I recommend having your tasting on the patio.

They sat us down and put glasses in front of us, and started pouring and explaining about the wine we were drinking. Our host was excellent and answered all of our questions. After about 3 or 4 tastings, 2 huge charcuterie platters arrived, and they were perfect and paired well with the wines. We worked our way up to the best wines, and each one was more impressive than the last. And while Fortified Wine was not on the tasting schedule, they let us try some of the Port, delicious!

There's a great selection of tea-ware too, cups, mugs, teapots, spoons, etc, which is bright and colourful. The attached cafe, called Monkey Nut Cafe, is great, good food and helpful, prompt service. But most people come for the wine, and it really is worth a drive up to the Barossa to enjoy the selection of reds, whites, a rose and ports.

The produce is absolutely delicious and of the highest quality meaning a simply egg and bacon sandwich is a taste sensation. My partner opted for the salmon and hollandaise and was very satisfied with the meal. His only comment was that it could have done with a bit of salt, or capers to compliment the salmon. The coffee was fantastic and the smoothie fresh and delish! We tried a couple of places on Murray St and Nosh will be where we go to again. (Just quietly I rate it over Cafe Pod and the staff are way friendlier!)

On our recent day trip to the Barossa, we consulted Yelp for a suitable brunch location in Tanunda…read moreand Nosh came up a winner. Easily findable in the main street with a park scored right out the front, we entered the former rolling mill building and exclaimed over the cute and cosy rooms before coming through into the gorgeously rustic main café area, which feels like a Pinterest board come to life. Everywhere you look is a quirky, reclaimed piece of décor - from the fixed gear bikes hanging from the high ceilings, the stepped shelves made from stacks of books, the china plates stuck to a piece of old door as wall art, the old step ladder converted into a shelving unit and more. Everything from the tables, chairs to the crockery and cutlery is gloriously mismatched in a range of kitsch delights including vintage floral china, bone-handled knives and cute cups. We each ordered a breakfast containing wholemeal toast, scrambled eggs, bacon and rocket with tomato chutney - mine without mushrooms. The eggs were fluffy, the local bacon was deliciously tasty as only country-killed meat can be and the chutney was divine. Seriously, if there were jars available for sale at the counter, I'd have bought one. Perhaps a sideline marketing venture for the owners if they read this? This appears to be a popular place and for good reason. Clearly a lot of care has gone into making this a top notch eatery with the quality of ingredients and care taken in presentation. We peeked into the other areas on our way out and each space was pleasant and inviting. There was even a children's play area cleverly fitted into a secure closed-off area to ensure the newly mobile little ones are entertained and contained without bolting out into the street or into the way of other customers with a nice seating area for the adults to supervise and eat at the same time. I look forward to returning to the Barossa soon and will find it hard to go past Nosh when I do.
