There are many reasons to visit Australia. It is home to some of the southern hemisphere’s finest cities, most stunning beaches and friendliest people. And the weather isn’t bad either. Australia is a long way to travel but look around for the cheapest flights possible and it can work out as an affordable and unforgettable holiday.
Of all the great reasons for heading ‘Down Under’, one of the fastest growing is the wine. Winning international awards for both quality and value, Australian wine has taken the more established wine producing nations head on and now regularly scoops awards in recognition of its quality.
Australia produces many styles of wine. From full-bodied reds right the way through to crisp and fruity whites. They are sold in over eighty countries around the world and found on the menus of some of the world’s finest restaurants. Even so, the best way to experience Australian wine is first hand.
Wineries are found in all the states and territories in Australia but the principle regions are in the south. Victoria, New South Wales and South Australia are home to some of the most beautiful wine growing areas on earth. South Australia’s Barossa Valley is world-renowned as a source of great wine but it also makes for a fantastic vacation. Take a tour of the region’s wineries, sampling some of the produce at its source and learn about viticulture from expert wine makers. Stay in excellent hotels or camp out under the Southern Cross to make the most of your journey.
Of course, as well as world-class wine, Australia has a lot more to offer. The great cities of Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide are all within striking distance of wineries. From the Hunter River region you can travel to Australia’s two largest cities. See the iconic Harbour Bridge or Opera House in Sydney, two of the most recognisable landmarks in the world. Melbourne is a cosmopolitan city with great restaurants and vibrant nightlife. From the Barossa Valley or McLaren Vale, make the trip to Adelaide to see why the city always crops up in lists of the world’s best cities to call home.
With over 55,000 km of coastline, Australia is also home to some of the most beautiful beaches imaginable. The majority of Australians live within 20 km of the beach, and once you’ve seen these shores for yourself, you’ll understand why.
Australia is an enormous country, so travelling around can be time-consuming. But plan your route well and you can fit in much more than you imagine. It also has some of the finest roads in the world so the drive is never dull. The Great Ocean Road between Adelaide and Melbourne is a must, with spectacular coastal views.
A wine tour is a great way to see Australia and also to learn about wine. Be sure to take some back with you, and whenever you open a bottle, each pour will bring back memories of an unforgettable trip.
