Lyndoch: Barossa Trail, Lavender and Wine Experiences

Lyndoch appeals to travellers with a range of interests: the Barossa Trail runs through the town as a sealed cycling and walking path, while lavender, wine experiences and a distinctive landmark offer further highlights. The options differ in whether you’d like to explore on foot or by bike, discover wine and a winery, or see the landscape from the air.

Explore the Barossa Trail or take to the air

The Barossa Trail is a 40-kilometre sealed cycling and walking path that runs through Lyndoch. The length refers to the trail as a whole; its route passes through Lyndoch. The combination of a sealed surface and two ways to use the route gives it a clear character. Trail conditions can change, so check the latest conditions before your trip.

For a different perspective, try Barossa Helicopters, based in Lyndoch. The operator offers helicopter experiences with views of wine country, impressive landscapes and well-known regional landmarks. Options include private scenic flights and luxury wine experiences. The Private Southern Barossa & Reservoirs scenic flight passes over the historic township of Lyndoch. Flight routes and experiences can change; check the details before planning.

Lavender landscapes and local history

Lyndoch Lavender Farm has more than two hectares of lavender, with over 70 varieties, and offers walks through the landscape. The farm’s size and variety offer a different focus from a single tasting: lavender itself takes centre stage, with the option to experience the landscape on a walk.

The 12-metre-long Welcome to the Barossa Sign is a Lyndoch landmark and photo opportunity. The large letters of the Welcome to the Barossa sculpture tell the story of the Barossa region: from Aboriginal history and the naming of the Barossa in 1837, through the first vines, to the modern history of its world-renowned wines. The Barossa Chateau Artist in Residence Gallery can also be visited free of charge every day. Visiting arrangements can change; check the latest details before your visit.

Wine tastings and tours

The Barossa Valley Behind the Scenes Winery and Vineyard Experience includes a guided tour of the winery, vineyards and modern winemaking facility in Lyndoch. The experience also includes tastings of wines made on site, paired with regional produce. This brings together a tasting and a guided look at the winery, vineyards and winemaking.

The 1837 Barossa Pavilion Cellar Door and Cafe in Lyndoch offers wine tastings, pizzas and platters. The difference in focus may help with planning: the Behind the Scenes Winery and Vineyard Experience combines a tour with a tasting, while the Pavilion offers wine tastings alongside pizzas and platters. Experience booking details and the Pavilion’s food offering can change. Check the latest details before planning your visit.
