Your Itinerary

Penfolds Barossa Valley Cellar Door

Make your own way to Penfolds Barossa Valley Cellar Door for your morning or afternoon winemaking session. As you start your 1-hour experience in the Winemaker's Laboratory, hear from your expert instructor about Penfolds' beginnings in 1844 at the Magill Estate in the Adelaide Hills. The winery then opened the Barossa Valley location in 1911 and greatly expanded its production here in the 1970s as the number of vineyards increased in the Barossa Valley region. After receiving an overview, delve into the details of winemaking. Learn the features of different wines and how to go about developing a blend that shines. Using the provided grenache, shiraz and mourvedre varieties — the same ones that make up Penfolds' renowned Bin 138 wine — apply the art and science of winemaking into the creation of your blend. Your instructor answers any questions that you may have and assists you throughout the blending process. Once you have mastered your recipe, your wine is bottled and presented to you to take home. At the end of your 1-hour winemaking class, you may want to see more of the estate on your own. You can sample premium wines in the tasting room or stroll around the grounds before continuing on to your next destination.

A fun activity to do with a group. Host was really engaging. It was good to play around with mixing different blends of wine to find what you like (or not). Felt really proud of our end results and a great talking point with friends.

Such a great morning learning about the history of Penfolds and their wines. Our host was lovely, informative and personal. Also enjoyed some tastings after our class, and the staff could not have been more kind. Would definitely recommend this experience to friends.

What a fantastic afternoon, our wonderful hostess Gemma explained the whole wine making experience we were about to undertake with amazing flair, knowledge and passion. Credit to herself. Started with a small introduction which she remembered our names through out the wine making experience without name tags then progressed to the base wine tasting and creating our own wine and bottling to take home. Finishing the afternoon was some wine tasting and photos, definitely a memorable experience.
