Unmissable winery experiences in the Barossa Valley

Indulge in a Seppeltsfield experience

Dating back to 1851, Seppeltsfield Estate masterfully blends world-class wine, gourmet food, art, and unique local crafts into an immersive experience. Among the property's heritage buildings is the famed Centennial Cellar, home to the longest unbroken line of Single Vintage Tawny’s in the world. Dive into Seppeltsfield's world of wine through a range of tastings, lunches, tours and workshops. Visitors can sample 100-year-old tawny on the Taste of History Tour, go behind the scenes in the historic homestead and cellars on the Centennial Cellar Experience, or explore the picturesque estate on a fun Segway Vineyard Tour. 

Enjoy a gourmet picnic at Jacob's Creek

One of Australia’s most successful wine companies, Jacob's Creek has been producing wines in the Barossa Valley since 1847. Visit the home of Jacob's Creek, set on 42 hectares (104 acres), with a bicycle track that weaves between the vineyards. Relax under a gum tree with a glass of wine and some produce from the winery's kitchen garden and other local artisan producers on a Jacob's Creek Gourmet Picnic. Learn how to match great food and wine and increase your wine knowledge at the cellar door.

Go back in time at Pindarie Wines

With a cellar door created out of a restored grain room and stables, family-owned Pindarie Wines oozes history. There's lots of old wood and exposed stone and brick, and the original tin roof sheeting acts as the internal ceiling of the tasting room. The Grain Store restaurant serves gourmet pies, such as the wild western rabbit and mushroom pie. Tasting plates include the Shearers Platter for Two, with local meats and cheeses, chutneys, olives and wood-fired bread. 

Join the family at Turkey Flat Vineyards

The old bluestone cellar door at Turkey Flat Vineyards was formally a butcher's shop run by the Shultz family, who own the building and vineyards today. It’s nestled between the vines on the edge of the historic township of Tanunda. The family vineyards date back to 1847. You can taste wine and nibble on snacks in the cellar door building, or share a bottle by the fire or out in the garden looking onto the vines. 

Taste wine from old vines at Elderton Wines

With shiraz and cabernet sauvignon vines dating from 1894, and a homestead in the heart of the Barossa Valley township of Nuriootpa, Elderton Wines is a family winery that makes world-class vintages. Although known for their exceptional single vineyard reds, they also produce most other varieties, so there's something for everyone. You can taste the wines at the cellar door or take part in the Elderton Elite Tasting Experience to taste some of the best wines and local cheeses and meet the owners. Alternatively, explore the diversity of shiraz in a Barossa Shiraz Masterclass. The cellar door has a nice outdoor area, where you can match your wine with a tasting plate, such as a cheese plate, or locally cured Atlantic salmon.

Match local food and wine at St Hugo

With its striking ironstone buildings, exceptional restaurant and a reputation for excellent wines, St Hugo should be high on your winery bucket list. Explore the connection between food and wine with the Chef’s Table experience, hosted in the beautiful historical surroundings of the Jacob’s Family Estate. Guided by a St Hugo Chef, you'll prepare lunch and develop your kitchen skills before feasting on your culinary efforts alongside a selection of St Hugo wines. Those keen to brush up on their stemware knowledge might be tempted by the St Hugo & Riedel Masterclass, a wine education experience for novices and aficionados alike.
