We are the custodians of Australia’s most iconic varietal style – the Barossa Shiraz – and home to some of the country’s most premium and sought-after wines.

But Barossa is not just about Shiraz. With over 40 different grape varieties cultivated in our fertile soils, each wine we produce is a unique expression of the grower, the winemaker, and the terroir. We are also the proud home of Riesling, our hero white variety, which thrives in the Eden Valley region.

In addition to our diverse array of wines, we invite you to explore our vibrant scene of craft cider, boutique breweries, and gin distilleries. Whether you’re interested in masterclasses, workshops, or simply tasting our award-winning craft beverages, there’s a new discovery to be made with every visit.

We take great pride in our deep-rooted history, with some of our wineries tracing their origins back to the early pioneers of the 1900s. One such gem is the Cimicky Winery producing wines of very high quality to this day.
