what the critics have to say

The bible of the Barossa.

– Peter Dillon,  Radio 94.9 Melbourne

Unique among wine books.

– Jeff Collerson, Daily Telegraph

Exhaustive and up-to-date… the Barossa has probably never been covered with such thoroughness.

– Huon Hooke, Sydney Morning Herald

Not just a wine book but a book about the wines, the people and the place… Pile the children in the car and take this book on your next family tour.

– Jeni Port, Epicure, The Age

Anyone visiting the Barossa Valley will find this an invaluable glovebox guide to one of Austrlaia’s best-loved wine regions.

– Winsor Dobbin, Sun Herald

A wonderful sense of community shines through all the text, complemented by 500 splendid photographs.

– Heather Britton, The Adelaide Hills Weekender

Brimming with personality and a wonderful read... The only disappointment I had with this book is that I wish I had written it.

– Tony Keys, The Key Report

A great read with a lot of soul. There's a strong sense of community and the work the authors have put in to incorporate the human element is extraordinary. The book contains many quirky stories that have never before seen the light of day. Every wine region should have a book of this nature.

– Wine Business Magazine, "The Week that Was"

Barossa Wine Traveller is an entertaining resource that puts all the attractions and characters of the Barossa wine industry into one package.

– Barossa Herald

What a read! One of the best wine industry books I have seen.

– Timothy Yule, in Wine Business Magazine, "The Week that Was"
