This weekend is hosted by
Henschke
Henschke is recognised for its rich heritage, innovative spirit and commitment to handcrafting exceptional wines for over 150 years. The Henschke family grapegrowing and winemaking tradition spans six generations, from sustainably grown vineyards in the Eden Valley, Barossa Valley and Adelaide Hills.
Enjoy a morning exploring over 150 years of family winemaking history at Henschke with your own personal host, including transfers from your J.H.A. Stone Cellar accommodation. Visit one of Henschke’s most renowned vineyards, Mount Edelstone, originally planted in 1912 by Ronald Angas, before tasting the distinguished single-vineyard wine from these Centenarian vines in the intimate surrounds of the Henschke Cellar Door. Watched over by portraits of Henschke forebears, feel the connection to the six generations of family who have contributed to the success of Henschke as you are guided through a structured tasting within the stone walls of the original 1860s Grain Barn. Tour the family’s historical working winery to gain a better appreciation of how the Henschke wines you love have been skilfully crafted through the generations in the Eden Valley region since 1868.
Hutton Vale Farm
Hutton Vale Farm is set amidst an impressive natural Barossa landscape. Pioneers of the region, the Angas family produce fine wine, exceptional on-farm accommodation, quality wool, free-range natural pasture lamb and hand-made artisan produce.
Hutton Vale Farm is an award-winning boutique wine producer from its Eden Valley vineyard growing classic varieties; Riesling, Shiraz, Grenache and Cabernet Sauvignon. The old vines were originally sourced from some of Australia’s oldest plantings.
Hutton Vale Farm was first established in 1843 by John Howard Angas. The Stone Cellar accommodation honours his name, with his initials, J.H.A.
Flaxman Wines
Fi & Col Sheppard established Flaxman Wines in 2004 when they purchased the property and made the vine-change move across from Melbourne.
Their vineyard sits in the very beautiful and picturesque Eden Valley in the Barossa and includes 3 acres of Riesling, 2.5 acres of Shiraz and 1/2 acre of Semillon, all planted in 1929.
For Colin and Fiona Sheppard, a desire to combine their passion for food and wine has led them to create a world-class boutique wine and food experience for their visitors to enjoy.
Yalumba
Yalumba has been fiercely independent, family-owned winemakers since 1849, showcasing the best of the Barossa. For six generations Yalumba has embraced the magnificent unknown, letting the land lead the way, and growing vines with as little interference as possible. Yalumba started with the planting of vines in 1849, by founder Samuel Smith. Under the moonlight, in the heart of the Barossa, he set in place not just the first of many generations of vines, but a philosophy that still holds true today. A genuine respect for the land and a willingness to venture into the unknown.
Yalumba has always had a deep connection to the Barossa. The long-term vision is manifested in the marble and sandstone Clocktower; a solid monument to their commitment to the region. The Yalumba Cooperage also shows this passion – where the proud tradition of crafting oak barrels in continued and the only one of its kind in the Southern Hemisphere.
