The region has one sub-region, High Eden in the south. The main towns are, Keyneton, Eden Valley and Springton. It is rough, rocky country that contradicts its ability to produce wines of great delicacy and finesse.
Eden Valley is a region of rugged beauty. The cool climate provides ideal conditions for the production of high quality wines. The history of the region parallels that of the Barossa Valley which shares its eastern boundary with Eden Valley. Yalumba has substantial vineyard holdings in the area. Those in the region who were able to follow consumer trends have emerged as the significant producers today. The return to table wines in the 1950s fostered a steady expansion in the region through the 80s and 90s.
