A must photo opportunity in the Barossa Valley. Picture yourself in front of the giant 12m long “Welcome to the Barossa” sign. A great spot to take group photos at this Barossa landmark proving that you have been in the wine capital of Australia. The attraction is conveniently located at Yaldara Dr in Lyndoch, just in front of the 1837 Barossa winery. Share you picture on Insta or facebook on #mybarossa #1837barossa and #welcometothebarossa
Visiting this modern sign is free of charge. It is accessible every day.
