This small town rests in a landscape of low hills on the valley floor between Lyndoch and Tanunda.

See the contrast between historical buildings and farmhouse and the modern facilities of the impressive Orlando Wyndham Winery. Established in 1877, the winery is the home to one of Australias best-known wine brands, Jacobs Creek. The famous creek is nearby and is where Johann Gramp first planted vines in 1847.

Learn more about the wine at the modern Jacobs Creek Visitor Centre on the road between Rowland Flat and Tanunda. There is an interactive display on winemaking, viticulture and the regions history, which complements the wine tasting experience.

The regions largest accommodation property, the Novotel Barossa Valley Resort is located at Rowland Flat, adjacent to the Tanunda Pines Golf Club - there are magnificant vineyard and rural views from both.
