Had a little excursion over the holiday break to the Barossa for some wine tasting and food.
Welcome to Tanunda!
Hot food display
We left Adelaide early in the AM whilst the weather was still cool and grabbed some grub at the Lyndoch Bakery & Restaurant.
A simple and quick feed to start off the long day ahead with a Ned Kelly pie: pie with bacon and egg quiche topping and the good ol’ meat pie.
On the agenda for the day trip was to visit 4 specific wineries, wine taste and purchase a few bottles to take back home to enjoy with some good folk. 
Our experience at Two Hands Winery was nothing short of delightful.
The staff were exceptional and super friendly during our wine tasting session. They seated us outside on their outdoor balcony deck overlooking the vineyards whilst we relaxed under the shade of the umbrellas and enjoyed the light cool breeze. A small tasting plate of bread, olive oil and ham was also presented to go with our wine tasting – it’s the little things that make an impression. The tasting fee was $5.00 per person and was donated entirely to their selected charity: the Uganda Project but more or less, tastings are generally free at Barossa wineries. I highly recommend you drop Two Hands Wines a visit if you’re heading into the Barossa. 
Duuuuuuuuuuuuuude! That’s like Crush dude!! … just referencing Finding Nemo for Pixar movie fans out there!
Now you can’t go to the Barossa and not visit the famous Maggie Beer’s Farm Shop!
The place was packed with people and finding a seat proved a bit difficult so we opted for takeaway coffees. We stood out on the deck overlooking the lake filled with a bunch of turtles just sun baking in the sun – so cute!
Coffee at Maggie Beer’s Farm Shop
Our last pit stop for the day, Lou Miranda Estate for a late lunch.
Chargrilled beef tender loin (300g) served with plum shiraz glaze, new potatoes, braised leeks and beer battered onion rings; $33.00
Maple roasted eggplant with toasted sesame seeds; $7.00

And we’re back on the road again. Home time!

Lyndoch bakery is terrible. The pies are disgusting and their service is awful. The staff are so rude and unhelpful. It used to be such a great place until it changed hands.
Please don’t promote them when there are so many better places in the Barossa to go. I love going to the Barossa and want visitors to the region to enjoy their visit and to come back!
