The Barossa Valley
Allegedly the largest wine producing area in Australia is the Barossa Valley. It is located 75 km north of Adelaide and worth a visit. Famous Aussie wines that come from there are Penfolds, Jacobs Creek and Wolf Blass

I didn't visit those wineries however, because I think it's nicer to taste wines you can't get everywhere in the world.
Instead I went to:
Gibson
Thorn Clarke
Yalumba
Domain Barossa and
Bethany
The wine was mostly excellent and it was possible to taste the more expensive bottles if they had one open. I especially enjoyed the Yalumba winery, becauase they would let you taste with 2 glasses so you could compare 2 wines.
