Gourmet weekend in the Barossa

Wine lovers visiting South Australia are in for a treat in late August when this year’s Barossa Gourmet weekend offers an array of culinary and wine treats along with some great entertainment.

The event will be in full swing from morning till night on Saturday and Sunday on August 25-26.

Visitors can choose from traditional Barossa Gourmet experiences that include great food, wine and music with no prior bookings at Whistler, Kaesler, Elderton, Peter Lehmann and a host of other Barossa wineries, or book into a number of very special experiences.

The Gourmet programme will include international food styles matched with the region’s wines. The music too will stretch from blues and jazz to tango, flamenco, country and rock ‘n’ roll. And the grand piano at Richmond Grove winery will delight classical music lovers.

You can also book a special Gourmet experience and stay overnight in the Barossa -- special Saturday dinners are being staged by Turkey Flat, Barossa Valley Estate and Gomersal Wines. On Sunday afternoon, Ross Estate will match their wines to the flavours of Spain.

Krondorf Road will be a hub of activity with Rockford hosting a Krondorf Farm Breakfast each morning, Villa Tinto firing up the Argentine BBQ and Barossa Vines providing traditional Gourmet Weekend fare.

Special features this year include a comprehensive designated-driver scheme providing free non-alcoholic drinks for registered designated drivers and a shuttle bus service operating between participating wineries.

The 2007 Barossa Gourmet programme will be on the Barossa website from July 20.
