CABN X / Landhaus The Gallery via Airbnb
Australia is home to 65 wine regions, but few are as instantly recognisable as the Barossa Valley. Revered as the nation’s shiraz capital, this storied region is synonymous with bold, full-bodied reds, and is home to some of the country’s most famed estates, including Penfolds, Seppeltsfield, Wolf Blass and Yalumba.
While boutique natural wineries may be flourishing elsewhere – particularly around Adelaide – the Barossa has steadfastly retained its reputation and integrity among the global wine community.
And if the idea of curling up by a crackling fireplace overlooking rolling vineyards, while swirling a bulbous glass of deep, jammy shiraz, feels like the perfect escape, then the Barossa Valley is your ticket.
From luxury estates catering for larger groups to intimate one-bedroom cabins, we’ve rounded up 7 of the best Airbnbs to consider for your next Barossa Valley getaway.
