THE BAROSSA'S hidden treasure!

The answer to our post below about one of the ‘under-publicised’ gems of the Barossa is Chateau Tanunda - in, well, Tanunda...(duhh!)

This is Australia’s oldest and largest Chateau - a 37,674 foot (11,483 metres) two-storey structure complete with three-foot thick bluestone walls and an imposing 61-foot tower.

It was one of the Barossa’s first distillers and wine-making enterprises - and has had something of a chequered history.

In the latter part of last Century it was, staggeringly, abandoned by its then corporate owner (remember when ‘greed was good’?) and effectively became a ruin - until its current owner John Geber chanced upon it in 1988 and has since restored it to its former glory.

It boasts an international-standard cricket oval on which many senior world cricketers have played - and today, has a fine croquet lawn too - not to mention an immense cellar door with wines which have received the highest accolades - and huge entertainment spaces available for hire.

It is, simply, stunning.  When you’re in the Valley, call in and take a look!
