SHOPPING experiences

 

LIVING BY DESIGN

96 Murray St, Tanunda

Furniture, homewares and current fashion ranges all year round. Some of the best designers Australia has to offer as well as unique designers from overseas.

 

WOHLERS OF THE BAROSSA

101/103 Murray St, Tanunda

This is a retail experience not to be missed. Wohlers started in a humble way in 1988 on the present site in the main street of Tanunda but has grown over the years to become a true retail Emporium. Selling high quality furniture and homewares, it has two levels of shopping temptation. The handbags and jewellery on the ground floor are very distracting. There is also an in-store coffee lounge that serves light meals. Decadent High Teas can be arranged but must be pre-booked.
