The Barossa Valley is in the Australian state of South Australia.

I've heard tales that the name Barossa is Italian, referring to the red soil of the valley, but in fact the name is due to a spelling mistake.

The valley was named for the 1811 Battle of Barrosa, in which the English defeated the French. When the name was registered it was spelled with one 'r' and two 's's, and by the time anyone realised the error it was deemed not worth fixing, since probably nobody would notice. Which, generally speaking, they haven't.
