Beyond the grape
The best breweries & distilleries in Nuriootpa
Craft breweries and distilleries adding beer, gin and spirits to the Barossa drinks scene.
Wine may be the Barossa's headline act, but a thriving craft scene of breweries and distilleries gives drinkers plenty of reasons to look beyond the cellar door. These small, independent makers are turning the valley's produce and water into gin, whisky, brandy and beer.
The Barossa Distilling Company in Nuriootpa pours its signature gins from a lively bar, while Seppeltsfield Road Distillers crafts spirits among the vines at Marananga. Over in the western Barossa, Greenock hosts craft brewers pulling small-batch ales, a refreshing change of pace after a day of tasting reds.
Many of these venues welcome walk-ins for tastings and offer relaxed bars where you can settle in with a paddle. They pair naturally with the region's eat & drink scene, so build them into a day that mixes wine, spirits and a long lunch. Check opening days, as some smaller distilleries trade weekends only.
