Tanunda The chief centre of the Barossa - it is surrounded by vineyards and wineries. Located 70 km from Adelaide,Tanunda (it is an Aboriginal word which reputedly means either 'watering hole' or 'many birds on a creek') is the focal point of the Barossa Valley. It is a large rural settlement with leafy streets and is totally circumscribed by vineyards. No matter which way you look there is one at the end of the street. In the immediate area there are no fewer than eight wineries - Basedow Wines and Stanley Brothers Winery in Murray Street,Richmond Grove,Peter Lehmann Wines,Old Barn Wines and Langmeil Winery in Para Road,Chateau Dorrien on Seppeltsfield Road and Glaetzer Wines in Barossa Valley Way.
