A gentleman never blows his own trumpet
For 34 years, Gordon Alderslade has been a dependable figure in the Barossa Valley, providing reliable service, jobs, and opportunities to our community as manager of Barossa Valley Toyota.
A winning spirit on and off the pitch
Peek inside the inner sanctum of ‘The Schlungers’ and you’ll find a club as tight as the veil of secrecy that surrounds it. The traditions and rituals passed down through the annals of Greenock Cricket Club are matched only by the creativity of those who invented them.
Destined to perform
Chloe Seabrook has been performing since she was eight years old. Her love for the stage began in musical theatre and she has performed in countless musicals with Adelaide Youth Theatre and other companies through her young teens.
Teacher’s pets
Some people say you should never work with children or animals. No one told Sally Pfeiffer that. For this retired teacher, grandmother, and wildlife carer, they’re two of life’s greatest pleasures.
Heart and sole
For more than 40 years he’s worked with care and commitment to restore scuffed soles and tired toe boxes, but healing John Harris’ own soul has taken a lifetime of love and trust in God’s plan.
A Sweet Treat for us all
If you’ve been to the Barossa Farmers Market recently, you may have recognised a familiar face and most definitely been tempted by the new mouth-watering addition to our popular Saturday institution.

Foundation for family
When it comes to family endeavours, the name says it all for Trevor and Marilyn Harch, owners of Brockenchack Wines.

Wine in the Willows; A bonesetter’s legacy

Jim Irvine – 90 Glasses for the 90 year old ‘King of Merlot’
Jim is bright, sharp and entertaining as we chat, pour, swirl, taste and appreciate his award winning 2009 Grand Merlot, (bit special – thanks Jim!) We then spend the morning photographing the man who has achieved so much in his life and who’s name is synonymous with the Barossa and indeed in the world of wine!
Anna Lindner – ‘A Beginner’s Guide to Grief’ SBS TV
Excitingly, Barossa’s own Anna Lindner has been on the set of her very own TV mini series – soon to be released on SBS. Anna is the creator, writer and lead actor in this drama comedy series about death, grief and one’s identity.
Mel Kaye
A degree in Exercise Physiology may well underpin Mel’s ability to guide, instruct and train her clients, but for her there is a broader picture that influences the way she helps her cohort.
Semi Gin Sangria
The ultimate companion for sunny days or the new hero cocktail for Christmas.
Spekulaas Palmiers
Palmiers are a deliciously crisp puff pastry cookie. There’s the crunch of the sugar with the crunch of the pastry while the flaky buttery layers melt in your mouth.
Sweet Mustard Pickles
In 1917, a recipe by Anna Heidenreich of Bethany was contributed to the first edition of the Barossa Cookery Book, and it packs a whole lot of classic Barossa flavour in a jar.
Brianna & Luke’s Wedding
When the bride is a wedding specialist you would expect that industry expertise to come in handy for her own special day – and this was certainly the case for Brianna Kaye when she married Luke (‘Lefty’) Hamann at Peter Lehmann Wines in October.
Hannah & Josh’s Wedding
A beautiful spring day with dappled afternoon sunlight perfectly offset the elegant simplicity of Hannah Sanders and Josh Koch’s wedding in October, when the farmer wed his partner of seven years at Moculta.
