Wine & Cellar Doors
Taste the Barossa at the source
The best wine & cellar doors in Eden Valley
Historic estates and boutique makers pouring the Shiraz, Grenache and Riesling that made the Barossa famous.
The Barossa Valley is one of the world's great wine regions, and its cellar doors are the best way to taste it at the source. This is the home of full-bodied Shiraz, Grenache and fortified wines, poured by the families and winemakers who grow the grapes. Many vineyards here are over a century old, and a few of the Shiraz plantings are among the oldest surviving vines on earth.
The heart of the action runs along the valley floor between Tanunda and Nuriootpa, where grand estates like Chateau Tanunda and Seppeltsfield sit beside small, fiercely independent makers. Out east in the cooler hills, the Eden Valley is celebrated for elegant Riesling and the legendary single-vineyard reds of Henschke.
Most cellar doors are open daily for tastings, and many pair beautifully with the region's eat & drink scene. Whether you want a relaxed flight on a vineyard terrace or a structured masterclass, the Barossa rewards both first-timers and seasoned collectors.
