The Experience

Start in Tanunda, Angaston, Nuriootpa or Lyndoch—the app builds your route from whichever point you pick. As you drive, GPS triggers 91 narrated stories automatically: you'll hear why Peter Lehmann walked away from a corporate job in 1979 to stand by the growers he'd promised to support, or how Samuel Smith sailed for Angaston in 1847 and dug his first vineyard by moonlight. The narration covers the Silesian settlers who established the oldest surviving German settlement in Australia in 1842, the pre-1860 vines at Hill of Grace on the Eden Valley ridge, and the Centennial Collection at Seppeltsfield that runs unbroken back to 1878. Stop as long as you want at any cellar door, replay any story, and because everything downloads before you leave, the audio keeps working when the signal drops.

The route passes Seppeltsfield Wines, Peter Lehmann Wines, Langmeil, Chateau Tanunda (built from local golden stone in 1890 and the largest and oldest wine chateau in Australia), Yalumba, Henschke, Kalleske on Roennfeldt Road, and the Barossa Farmers Market on Murray Street in Greenock—which has run every Saturday morning since 2002 under a strict rule that everything sold is grown or made in the Barossa. The app pins every winery, village and lookout, and you can reorder stops to suit your pace. Regional chapters dive into the old-vine Shiraz heritage, Eden Valley Riesling and the story of the Silesian families who shaped the valley.

You'll need a car and a designated driver; tastings are arranged and paid directly with each winery. The purchase is a one-time buy with no expiry, and free content and audio updates roll out for life. One booking covers everyone in the vehicle.
