Loved that there was a wide selection and as couples we chose to try different wines. Thus really got to sample 10 rather than just 6 (since we shared). Shiraz was delish, and was surprised how much we liked the whites!
Stunning grounds. Wish we had time to tour the cooperage. Loved “Big Red” the painting! (My nickname.)

Beautiful old winery. We did a picnic (luxury escapes) and it was great. The tasting room is stunning esp when they have the open fire going.
Delicious wines. The old buildings are just amazing.

Wonderful experience!
My wife and I booked in for a $120 tour each and were extremely happy with the terrific, knowledgeable guide who took us around the estate explaining the history of Yalumba. The Cooperage (wine barrel making) was exceptional with a personal explanation of the stages involved in barrel making by a highly skilled and informative cooper.
We also had a notable visit to the Signature wines area and the amazing old wine storage tanks which have been repurposed.
Concluding the tour was a gourmet food platter accompanied by many samples of Yalumba's wines. As much driving was still to be done in the day, we declined the wine sampling but were provided with our choice of soft drinks to enjoy.
Wonderful value for money and a most memorable experience.

We had such a wonderful experience at Yalumba. The heritage and atmosphere of the estate were beautiful, and the wine tasting itself was exceptional. The staff were so welcoming and knowledgeable, guiding us through each wine and sharing the history behind it in a way that was engaging and easy to follow. Every wine we tried was high quality, with standouts that impressed our whole group — so much so that we ended up buying bottles to take home! Between the world-class wines, stunning location, and warm hospitality, Yalumba is truly a must-do when visiting the Barossa Valley. 🥂😃😁

Great winery. We went in the winter so it was not at all crowded. But, the Grenache and Shiraz options were excellent and the staff told us much about the history of the vineyard and their method.

Helen has hosted an incredible The Signature Tour for us at Yalumba Winery on May 11. We toured the stunning Signature Vineyard, Yalumba Cooperage, Family Tasting Room, Estate Grounds, Signature Cellar, converted fermentation Tanks 11 & 12 (now a function area), and the Hill-Smith family’s private wine collection museum. The Cooperage was eye-opening, showing how wine barrels are crafted from scratch. The private wine collection museum blew our minds with its huge, impressive range of wines. Tasting Yalumba’s iconic wines, including The Signature Cabernet Sauvignon & Shiraz, was a highlight. We all loved every moment. Highly recommend this tour for a memorable winery experience.

Avoid the wine tasting, near revolting wines.The site is gorgeous and service was friendly. But get your tasting at the many other wineries in Barossa.
If big wineries is what you're after, highly recommend Seppeltsfield and Chateau Tanunga.

The grounds are lovely and well maintained. The service is good but didn’t feel a as personal as some of the other wineries. We did three different flights but the wine was not to our liking. I think the reds were marginally better.

One of the most beautiful wineries I have been to. The gardens and buildings are so lovely and the wine is good. We participated in the $10 wine tasting each, only to be told later that it was $15, but redeemable with two bottles of wine. We felt pressured to purchase the two bottles of wine by one staff member.

Yalumba is known as Australia’s most historic family owned winery, that was established in the mid 1800’s. They have an extensive line up of wines from whites, reds through to some very popular fortified’s.
The grounds are beautifully set and are a perfect place to take some time out to relax. You can choose from a variety of flight tastings depending on your tastes.
I would recommend this as a destination if you visiting the Barossa Valley.

Excellent customer service. Tried 2 x wine flights. Fee is wavied if a bottle is purchased. Oldest winery in Australia, celebrating 175 years in 2024. There are many options for accomodation and ground tours. Beautiful old buildings. Make their own wine barrels, only winery in Southern Hemisphere to do this.

Final stop of the day and in my opinion, the best stop of the day. This is still a family owned business and I understand that it is the largest family owned vineyard in Australia. The grounds are not as vast as Seppeltsfield Winery but does not lose out in terms of the ambience. It gave me the impression of stepping into a home of a landowner with a very nice casual patio and intimate cosy tasting room indoor. Started off with the intent to do two flights - Best of Barossa tasting flight and Yalumba Rare and Fine tasting flight. Started with the Best of Barossa flight and at the end, decided to forgo the other flight as can feel the effects of the Bold Reds and I am the only driver. The Vine Vale Grenache is exceptional. One of the best Grenache I have drank so far. I was expecting something light (my impression of Grenache) but this is plush and bursting with flavors. The Eden Valley Syrah is a typical Shiraz, nothing that surprised me. But the next two - the Paradox as well as the FDR1A Cabernet Sauvignon Shiraz blend are really really good. Another two exceptional bottles. Interesting to note that the Grenache and Paradox are from the valley floor (lower grounds of Barossa) whereas the Eden Valley Syrah and FDR1A are from Eden Valley. Accordingly to the sommelier, valley floor wines tends to be more robust and full bodied as it is hot day and night whereas wines from the upper Eden Valley tends to be more delicate and light-medium bodied as the grapes has time to take a breather from the heat at night where the cooler breeze comes in. Very good tasting experience.

This was a perfect stop choice on our Wine Hopper visit to Barossa Valley. The option for a flight of White or Red Wines blended extraordinarily well with the palates of our group. The charcutier plate of cheeses, olives, crackers and thinly sliced prosciutto was a delightful complement to our wines.
The Wine Hopper option is the best value for your day in Barossa Valley and Yolumba is a visually appealing and taste bud treat you will not want to miss.

We recently took the 'Yalumba Unlocked' experience. Even though, it was a last mintute booking, they honoured the request and we were given almost a Private tour by Helen. She was amazing at showing us the Cooperage and answering our endless questions. It was a beautiful experience to see the history behind this amazing Family owned Winery. The tour was followed by tasting few of the finest wines accompanied by a tasty cheese platter. Definitely recommend for a more personal experience of the Winery and to get a glimpse of the family's story!

If you're in the area, definitely stop by. I took my partner here for a tasting experience for her 30th birthday and was not disappointed. The hosts were accommodating and professional. The selection of fine wines was nothing but delicious. The picnic they also provided was enjoyed with not a crumb left and the stunning architecture made the experience even better.

Had the most amazing tour experience at Yalumba Unlocked! As a novice to SA and the amazing cellars that are available, Yalumba was definitely the right choice!
We were met with a glass of our choice prior to the start of the tour. Then our tour guide, the marvellous Tracey, started what was to be an incredible historical journey through the buildings, grounds and the family that is Yalumba.
The cooperage was fascinating and something we previously knew nothing about! I’m still stunned at the length of time it takes to make a barrel! This was followed by a visit to the Signature Cellar containing all the famous Yalumba barrels. The most interesting part of the tour for me was standing in Tanks 11 & 12! Hard to fathom we were standing in what was once a huge concrete tank of wine!!
Want better way to finish off the experience than with the best wine tasting ever complimented with a platter filled with all things yum!
The wine selection for the tasting was great! We even got a Tawny at the end to finish it all off!!
The Yalumba Unlocked experience is certainly value for money, as well as being a great touristy adventure.
