1918: At Tanunda in the Barossa Valley region of South Australia
1918 is one of the finest restaurants you will find in the Barossa Valley. During the past decade it has developed an excellent reputation throughout South Australia for its modern Australian cuisine and stunning setting.
It has won numerous awards and is often critically acclaimed from international food writers and journalists.
The restaurant's name "1918" derives from the foundation stone of the old villa in which the restaurant is housed. For many years it was the home of the Warrant family who ran the tailors and drapery business next store.
During winter, diners are never far from the cosy open fires and in summer guests enjoy the views of the garden from their table under the verandah.
