“It’s important that we embrace our region and all that it has to offer. The Gastronomic Golf Trail is a social six hole Ambrose event. Participants will be treated to premium food and wine on each tee block as they make their way along the trail. With the opportunity to select six bottles of wines to take home it will ensure the experience is extended and shared with friends and family.” said Thornton.

“The Tour Barossa Classic is set to attract some of the best amateur golfers from around the state and we’d also love to see some interstate interest now we can accommodate their needs through the partnership with Tour Barossa.” Thornton added.
