The Barossa Ranges is a mountain range located in the Australian state of South Australia.
The Barossa Ranges are a part of the southern Mount Lofty Ranges and primarily run along the eastern side of the Barossa Valley. The range is the source for the North Para River and its tributary Jacob's Creek. It is also home to some of the many wineries in the region, including those in Eden Valley.[2] The highest point of the range is Mount Kaiser Stuhl with an elevation of 588 metres (1,929 ft) AHD [1] and forms part of the Kaiserstuhl Conservation Park.
The Heysen Walking Trail and the Mawson Cycling Trail both traverse the range. The range was named by Colonel William Light in 1837 after the Barrosa Range in Spain, to which he found similarities.
