Surrounded by rolling hills and stands of ancient red gums, Eden Valley is known as the ‘Garden of Grapes and Gums’.
At first glance, Eden Valley is a quaint and quiet little town, but look closely and you’ll see a bustling world of hidden vineyards, contoured through the scenic hillsides to produce some of the region’s most prestigious cool-climate wines.
Enjoy a picnic at the tables provided or just soak up the panoramic views.

Make sure you take some time to read the historical plaques.
The Eden Valley township has its beginnings in the 1850s on land owned by William Lillecrapp, a wealthy Gumeracha farmer who had emigrated from England in 1837. In 1862 he sold land for £15 for the building of a church and school to a group of Prussian Lutherans who had left their homeland to avoid religious persecution. They had arrived in 1838, having received monetary assistance for the voyage from George Fife Angas, and English businessman who later bought large tracts of land in the Barossa and Flaxmans Valley. In 1864, two years after the church had been built, the rest of the land was surveyed and subdivided. It is believed the word ‘Eden’ was found carved into a tree and thus Eden Valley got its name.
