Kaesler Cottages
If you want to be even closer to the action, Kaesler winery has three cottages onsite in a charming garden setting. There are no kitchen facilities, aside from a microwave, fridge and toaster, but the location is just on the edge of Nuriootpa and not far from Tanunda, so dining options abound. The Kaesler cellar door is also highly recommended, and they run vineyard tours of some of Australia’s oldest vines.

Kingsford
If luxury is your thing, the recently renovated Kingsford is for you. Renovated is an understatement, though, with the 1856 sandstone two-storey homestead gaining an adjoining contemporary lodge, and the resort having a total of 16 lavish suites. A pool, open air ‘bush bath’, restaurant, two bars, deeply stocked cellar and even a subterranean ‘kegelbahn’, where the German game of skittles that has persisted in the Barossa gets a decidedly modern treatment are all part of the show.
