The Glossop Motel is a serene place just a few minutes away from boating, swimming, shopping, tennis, golfing, wineries, vineyards and of course, the renowned River Murray. The facilities of this motel include a shaded barbeque area, an outdoor swimming pool, sheltered parking, guest laundry, wireless internet and manicured gardens.

The pride of this town is undoubtedly the Berri Estates Winery Cellar Door Sales. Like the Glossop Motel, this property can be found at Sturt Highway. This is the area between Barmera and Berri in central Riverland. There is a gum tree which is said to be lemon-scented that dates back seventy five years, which hangs over the cellar door sales and this welcomes the tourists and visitors of the place. This place produces wine both for the domestic and international markets with such a consistently high quality of wines.

People would be able to take pleasure in tasting the various wines that came from an extensive collection of the winery. Tourists can choose between excellent Hardy Wines or they can also partake of local wines such as duka, oil, olives, and quandongs. Some local brands are the Voyage, Nottage Hill, and Banrock Station. Visitors would surely be astonished at the storage capacity and vast size of the biggest working distillery and winery complex in all of Australia. The winery was initially owned by a local cooperative however, it is now owned by Constellation Brands.

Berri Estates Winery is actually handicapped-friendly as it has an access with support for the disabled people. The handicapped visitors would also have access to toilet facilities designed especially for them. Tourists would be able to bring their cars since there is also a parking area in the Berri Estates Winery Cellar Door Sales. They also have some first aid equipment to respond to cases of emergency.

Tourists driving through the Old Sturt Highway should also stop at one of the fruit stalls that line along the highway between Glossop and Berri. These stalls sell a wide variety of in-season vegetables and fresh fruits.

Though Glossop is relatively small, it still houses a gallery of Aboriginal art from Australia, a small deli, two gas stations and a few hardware stores. Some schools that tourists can also visit are the Riverland Christian School, Glossop Primary School and Glossop High School.
