The Barossa's Mediterranean Climate

Spring (September - November) brings a fresh vitality to the Barossa: sunny with a crispness in the air, an abundance of wildflowers and a great time for nature walks. Suitable for lighter clothing during the day and warm clothing for the cool evenings.

Summer (December to February) offers plenty of sunshine and warm days. The average temperature is 29 degrees Celsius, but hot days of 35 degrees Celsius occur infrequently. Shorts and short sleeves are in order here. Balmy evenings are ideal for outdoor dining.

The Autumn months (March - May), especially March and April, bring mild, but sunny, days with chilly evenings. The autumn leaves on the vines are a sight to behold. Wear light clothing during the day but bring some warm clothes for the evening.

The Winter months of June, July and August bring chilly days and some rain, cold nights during which warm Barossa hospitality can be enjoyed in front of a cosy log fire. Warm clothing and an umbrella are advisable.
