Welcome to Tanunda, SA

Tanunda is a town in South Australia in the Barossa Valley region. 70km northeast of Adelaide, it has a population of over 4,100.

History

Tanunda gets its name from an Aboriginal word that means “watering hole”.

The first European settlement in the area was the village of Bethanien in 1842. Bethanien was settled by Prussian immigrants who came over with the Pastor Gotthard Fritzsche. The village of Langmeil was set up nearby in 1843. The village of Tanunda was settled sometime after.

As Tanunda began to grow, the villages of Tanunda and Langmeil joined and today the township is simply called Tanunda.
