This opportunity to host #SoMeT14AU comes hard on the heels of recent successes for the Barossa and South Australia, with South Australian Tourism Commission’s Barossa Be Consumed campaign achieving stunning results in increased visitation, as well as international accolades. The Barossa’s recent inclusion in Wine Enthusiast Magazines annual Top 10 Wine Destinations serves to underscore the region’s international appeal. A successful Barossa bid would once again catapult South Australia into the limelight as a world class tourism destination.
