South Australia Going Out
Food and Drink
There are many wine and food festivals throughout the region where local wines and beers can be tasted. One of these is the Barossa Vintage Festival, reminiscent in many ways of German beer festivals in Europe. South Australia contains one of the most important valley regions producing wines; from the reds of Coonawarra and the Barossa, to the Rieslings of the Eden Valley.
Regional specialities:
• German-style delicacies, including mettwurst (spicy cured sausage), Bienenstich (cream-filled yeast cake) and pickles.
• Seafood is excellent. Grab a mouthful of crabs, whiting, oysters, blue fin tuna and crayfish.
• The Pie Floater - pie immersed in pea soup and with ketchup added. It's an acquired taste!
• A cornucopia of fruit and veg, such as citrus, grapes, stone fruits, melons, tomatoes and warrugul greens (native spinach).
Regional drinks:
• Have a cold white frothy of Cooper's Ale, a fine Aussie beer.
• South Australia is well known for its award-winning wines such as Penfold's Grange.
