The owner of Chateau Tanunda and the Barossa’s last train carriages, the Barossa Wine Train, has expressed his frustration at what he describes as the State Government’s lack of vision for rail and tourism. Mr John Geber said getting the Barossa Wine Train back on the track would be the “sizzle” the region needs, referring to it as the Barossa’s equivalent to McLaren Vale’s iconic cube.

One of the early managers was Mr Alex Warnest who worked at the Angaston store. His granddaughter, Kathryn Mattner is now working for the company as manager of the Tailem Bend store. Mr Schuller explained that his father was upset that years ago Eudunda Farmers sold off a lot of their stores.

“We can’t ignore that there is definitely going to be an impact but it’s difficult to quantify at this stage,” said Mr March. “Wuhan and its immediate areas in Hubei Provence are not a major wine centre in terms of our export profile. It is a second tier city and the majority of Barossa wine distribution is concentrated in tier one cities such as Guangzhou, Beijing and Shanghai.
Coronavirus will impact the local wine industry according to Barossa Grape & Wine Association (BGWA) but it’s too early to gauge to what extent. CEO Mr James March said he had received reports that the outbreak was affecting distribution centres and restaurants in China and that would likely impact sales and the ability to transport wine within the country.

our show has had to be cancelled and we are absolutely devastated,” a statement from the committee read.

Calm and kind: Coping with the COVID-19 crisis
Slim Dusty once famously sung about a pub with no beer. Monday this week marked the beginning of a possible six month era of pubs with no people. Pubs, clubs and licensed premises, gyms, cinemas, casinos, indoor sporting complexes and places of worship have been forced to close after the Federal Government announced the nation-wide roll out of “Stage 1” social restrictions in an effort to flatten the curve of COVID-19 infections in Australia. As The Leader went to print, schools remain open, and cafes and restaurants are permitted to offer takeaway or delivery options only. The news is devastating to many local businesses already hit hard by the coronavirus crisis. Others are rallying to make the best they can from the situation. Mr Chris Linden, CEO of the Vine Inn Barossa Community Hotel, Nuriootpa told The Leader on Monday that the business would take all the steps necessary to survive. “The thing about this hotel is, where we’re standing right now was settled 173 years ago, and when we come out the other side of this, this hotel will still be here,” said Chris.
