Unfortunately the day that I went I didn't have any hot food available, just what was on their menu. It was pretty empty considering cars were lining the Main Street of Tanunda. There was a need to other people and they were sitting out the front. Definitely worth stopping in as it is so much cuter than a typical country bakery.

Then again, I'm not much of an expert in the age of plants. The cellar door is rather small, but they do have a nice area outside where you can sit and enjoy some wine. In fact, the wine itself isn't all that bad either. While it is close to Tanunda, it is still a bit of a hike from the town, but then again you pretty much need a car to get anywhere in the Barossa.

This was the first winery I visited years ago that actually gave me palletable information on the…read moreins and outs of the winery's various vintages and complexities. It is such a heaving, complex beast, the winery, if you ever get a chance to check out the guts of one on your travels. Everything from planting, protecting, feeding and nurturing (I'm not kidding, Turkey Flat sprayed sunscreen on their vines last vintage! Who woulda thunk it!?) the vines, to the picking, producing, fermenting, bottling, marketing etc etc etc, there are a LOT of moving parts! And to try and understand them is why some people spend years at university learning the craft. However, most wineries won't give you all of their dirty little secrets (alright, some of them might, but they don't want to ruin their chance of a sale so it's unlikely!) that most of the winery workers know. Turkey Flat is the exception for me here. Not that there were any dirty little secrets to be told this time around, but the cellar door attendant, despite only doing 1 day a week, was extremely knowledgable about all of the wines and provided us with some great info on the various vintages, grapes and also general goings on in the area, following the Annual Barossa Vintage Festival which was held last weekend. Go check out the website for more info on the wines, and do yourself a favour and pop in here while you're up in the BV. It's a worthwhile experience and you will taste some truly magic wines.

Just keep drivin'... just keep drivin'…read more.. This cellar door is not necessarily far away, it's just on a relatively unpopulated road through the 'town' of Bethany and past both it's accommodation and reserve. Essentially it's the last Bethany structure on the road. We were served a delicious array of wines by a knowledgeable staff member who obviously loved the industry she is in. There were quite a number of whites/roses to choose from (perfect for the 29 degree weekend days we enjoyed), including a very sweet riesling - sampled after the reds as a dessert wine, that's how sweet it was!

Only open from 1pm-5pm, this was one winery whose wines I'd heard/tried before out n about on…read morevarious occasions, but hadn't been to the cellar door (as far as I can recall - sometimes the last winery at the end of a wine tour can be a bit of a blur!) so I was genuinely curious and hopeful. I have to say, despite the gorgeous view, I was a bit let down. The cellar door, while seemingly rustic and aged/cosy from the outside, beautifully cut into the hill, was actually quite sterile and plain inside. It had a funny sort of feel to it - there was one group sitting down doing an extended tasting, hidden behind a couple of port barrels, and not much space at the bar. There were a couple of ladies behind the bar serving, but one took, I don't know, maybe five minutes while we were standing there before she even acknowledged us, even though we weren't being served. But not just that, she was looking straight at us the whole time, and continued to polish the wine glasses in the back of the bar! That annoyed me a little. Following this, we got a half-hearted attempt at talking us (by us, I mean a couple of South Aussies and an English Tourist) through some of the wines. The majority of what was on offer was 2011 vintage, which was again, not to my liking. I understand that, at the end of the day, especially on a Sunday, serving customers non-stop can get a little tiresome but you should never show that to the customer. Or make them feel like you're doing them the favour by being there. I got an inkling of that feeling and, looking back on it, it didn't impress me much. I hope to return to see how they go on a Friday or Saturday soon enough. But in the meantime, there are a few other places I'd recommend before coming here.

Total shout out to the Yelpers for reviewing this place. I honestly would have never known about it…read moreif it wasn't for the reviews. It's kind of behind the main township of Tanunda, and is not obvious. There is no signage pointing until you are very close, unlike other cellar doors. The Artisans of the Barossa restaurant / cellar door has such a lovely set up. The building is big and open. They have installed large foldback glass doors, so it opens the area so you can enjoy the view outside. I also imagine that in winter it would still provide a great barrier for the cold outside, while framing the view. So, you get the best of both worlds inside and out. When you arrive at this restaurant, be sure to report to the counter to be seated. When I arrived I asked whether we could find a table. I was very abruptly interrupted and told that I would need a reservation. The gentleman that I think ran the restaurant was quite precious about the seating. So, lucky I asked. No need for that attitude though, I didn't just sit down. I did ask. Anyway... The Artisans of Barossa is a fine collection of boutique wineries & food sourced from local produce. The menu is impressive, and seems seasonal. We wanted some shared plates and went for the Fried Chicken, Jamon and Beetroot skordalia. The fried chicken was really tasty. It has been marinated for a while, so it had a darker colour. But, it was crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. Perfect! I could see that it was a popular dish as well. Many orders were running past me. Next up the Jamon. Well, you know when you have a great quality Jamon. It was sliced thin, but not too thin. It was sweet, not too fatty and was nicely preserved. A nice accompaniment with the pickles and artichoke. Finally, the Beetroot skordalia. It was very fresh and earthy. Served with crumbled feta and (wait for it) beetroot chips. Oh yes, what a fab idea. It gave it that crunch and body that worked so well. It really lifted the dish. If you go to the Barossa, be sure to visit here. You would be silly not to. There is something special about this place. Might be worth booking ahead though. Otherwise, just be polite to the Restaurant Manager.

We enjoyed a well made Rio brand coffee, the staff were friendly and obliging.

Yeah, this is certainly one of those pubs that I have no problem whatsoever returning to.

There were only three other tables of diners, but had to walk around the front to find staff to take orders and pour drinks, so we ordered a beef schnitzel with garlic prawn sauce and a beef schnitzel.

She took his meal back and 5 mins later I received a piping hot (microwave?) beef snit. The guy at the other table looked and laughed that it looked familiar. My wife then received different meal than she ordered but by then we just wanted to eat n go. Between that, no aircon, 10000 flies not a hint of an apology the Brauhaus can suck it! What a dump.
