I recently visited the Barossa Valley for the weekend. I thoroughly recommend visiting Artisans of Barossa for a wine tasting and lunch (https://www.artisansofbarossa.com/) and staying at a B&B like Abbotsford Country House (http://www.barossa-accommodation.com/) or the Barossa Pavilions (http://www.barossapavilions.com.au/).
