Ultimate South Australian Winery Tours & Experiences

Tour the McLaren Vale, home of breath taking scenery and abundance of premium, locally crafted food and wine. If it’s the calm mixture of vineyards and beach you’re seeking, look no further than the dynamic region of McLaren Vale. Only a 40 km trip south of Adelaide’s CBD, this area marks the origin of South Australia’s rich winemaking history, and is a hotspot for luxury Bed and Breakfasts, art, and world class restaurants. The region’s Mediterranean climate lends itself to production of exquisite red and whites, though it’s Shiraz that is the pick of the bunch here. With over 30 kms of coastline to marvel at, fresh and vibrant local produce, and the feeling that you’re a million miles away from Adelaide, McLaren Vale is a region with many faces, each one of them captivating. Grenache, Cabernet, and emerging Italian and Spanish varieties such as Fiano, Vermentino, Tempranillo and Sangiovese give a Mediterranean twist to this surprising region, with warm summers and low rainfall. With over 80 boutique cellar doors in McLaren Vale, sit back and relax as we select wineries according to your palate tastes, and introduce you to the sea and vines region of South Australia.

This tour offers the rare opportunity for visitors to try their own birth year vintage Tawny directly from the barrel. Join one of our wine educators in the renowned Centennial Cellar and sip on a wine as old (or young) as you are.... Available daily at 2.30pm.   About the Centennial Cellar: Seppeltsfield’ s history is punctuated with many moments of visionary foresight. Seppeltsfield’ s founder, Joseph Seppelt and his eldest son, Benno, were particularly renowned for their longer term vision for the estate, closely following custodianship principles to ensure a legacy was passed on to future generations. This is no more evident than Benno Seppelt’s inception of the Centennial Cellar - a truly unique and unparalleled system of maturing single barrels of vintage Tawny for 100 years before release. In 1866, plans to build a new bluestone cellar were started by Joseph. 12 years later in 1878 and following the passing of his father, Benno completed the stone cellars. In a gesture both unique and inspirational, Benno selected a puncheon of his finest wine and gave instructions that it was not to be bottled for 100 years. This single barrel of 1878 Tawny port was to remain maturing in a separate room within the bluestone cellars, untouched in the same location 100 years. The tradition of laying down a barrel of the finest wine from each vintage was continued every year following and continues to do so today. The Centennial Cellar now comprises an unbroken lineage of every vintage from the current year back to 1878. A living museum of Australian winemaking history and undoubtedly the ‘ jewel in the crown’ of the Seppeltsfield estate, the Centennial Cellar is an absolute must see for visitors.

Awarded the Barossa Trust mark, the Centenary Tour is a once in a lifetime experience.  Visit the Seppelt family homestead, followed by a private tasting of super-premium fortified wines in our VIP mezzanine lounge.  The tour culminates in the 1878 Centennial Cellar, where you will taste your year of birth Tawny, direct from barrel, as well as the legendary 100 year old Para Vintage Tawny.   Available daily, bookings required, minimum of 2 people.

Fear not, we’ll be sampling the very best food and wine along the way, but we want this to be an insightful experience as well.

These vines were tended by the men of faith, some of whom still lie in the on-site crypt. It’s an awe-inspiring story that sets the tone for the day.
