 Big Winery. A big winery, one of the more famous winery. We skipped the wine tasting, but did the Gin tasting, which was good, as usual you pay to taste. Gin can be expensive here, there are a few different varieties here. The host was knowledgeable and good. Worth a visit, the store has a lot of gifts  and items from Olive oil and others.

  First time at the Barossa Having never been to the region before we had a beautiful time and we are already planning our next visit. We were travelling to another even so despite it being winter and the grapes dormant it was still so beautiful to drive the roads around the Barossa.  The Palm Boulevarde  is beautiful around Seppeltsfield Winery is worth a trip and the winery itself is fantastic. We did a wine tasting and cheese tasing which we thoroughly enjoyed, you need to be booked in for this i believe.  All the staff we had interactions with were so friendly and knowledgable, all very passionate about their local region. Can't wait to go back in Summer or Autumn

  Wonderful stay in a beautiful old homestead As a group of 12 people, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this beautiful old homestead, complete with swimming pool and stunning garden and surrounds.
Wonderful stay in a beautiful old homestead As a group of 12 people, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this beautiful old homestead, complete with swimming pool and stunning garden and surrounds.The original home provided a grand formal sitting room and dining room as well as a large, fully equipped kitchen.
The newer section offered a large room with dining table and comfy lounges by the fireplace, connecting to 4 bedrooms, each with ensuite
The beds were comfortable, and the living rooms were large, providing plenty of space for all of us. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend The Lodge for a family or group of friends - it's a very special place to stay
 
  Great engagement with staff and wine tastings. We as a group of 4 did tastings and were warmly welcomed by Lucy and  Jessica, they were knowledgeable about the wines and history, they were joined by Vicki and together as a formidable trio they made our tasting experience a lot of fun and enjoyable.

 Tasting for the wines was not the best. I felt as an Asian, we were all segregated to the one corner. Each new group with someone of Asian descent was automatically added to the same location. It felt a lot like racism. We were trying to justify it initially like they probably thought we would all need to speak in Chinese for the tasting but to be honest, we were speaking in English the whole time to the staff and had no difficulty communicating in it. In fact, we probably will have issues using Chinese as a medium. We just look Chinese I guess. It just didn’t sit right, especially after we noticed all Asians are delegated to our side.
 A Unique Tasting Experience with Room for Improvement The tasting itself was fantastic. As a wine lover who has sampled many varieties, experiencing a glass of 100-year-old wine alongside another as old as yourself directly from the barrel is truly unique. However, the misunderstanding with the guide regarding the tour—who initially thought it was only for one of the tastings—greatly affected the overall experience. I had to insist on having both tastings before he double-checked. This oversight detracted from what could have been a seamless and memorable experience.

  Expansive vineyards and Estate We did a  private tasting at Seppeltsfield Winery and the grounds are simply breathtaking! Hundreds of years old, the family emigrated here in the 1800's and had 21 children that they handed down the vineyard and estates to. Expansive grounds and the wine is quite good. Known for their Shiraz, a must do in the Barossa Valley. This property would be beautiful for a wedding or event. Very upscale and sophisticated. Large bar and tasting area for small to large parties, private or public. Beautiful outdoor seating area as well.

 We love port, but it was so interesting to note the differences between the samples of our birth years (2 years apart).
This has been the highlight of our quick Barossa getaway - but we will be back!
 Great wines better staff Came here just for a tasting and was blessed to be looked after by some great staff in Jordan and Jess
Great wines better staff Came here just for a tasting and was blessed to be looked after by some great staff in Jordan and JessDespite their younger years, they were extremely knowledgeable about the wines as well as the history of the winery.
They made our tasting (which was amazing) even better.
Loved the layout of the place and it was buzzing for a Sunday afternoon.
 
 Every dish we were served was spectacular and kept outdoing each meal each time. It was hard to choose a favourite. The option of Lobster Toast was received well by us all.
The staff were outstanding, they were constantly on the rounds of every table making sure everyone was taken care of. No one was left waiting and the kitchen was semi-open and you could see from the dining area just how busy they were as well.
My hat goes off to them for serving such fresh and delicious food to everyone throughout the restaurant at all different times.
The grounds outside are historical and beautifully kept.
Being the oldest vineyard in the region it was an honour to spend some time here.
I could not help but leave with a bottle of Muscat.
 Amazing trip and staff! This place was amazing! The land is beautiful, and the buildings were great. We stopped in in the afternoon for a wine tasting, and it was a lovely experience. We felt very looked after, and enjoyed the laid back but professional vibes. Definitely would recommend a stop here, even for just an hour to do some wine tasting.

  "WOW!! Beautiful Seppeltsfield Estate Barossa Valley" WOW!! How beautiful is Seppeltsfield Estate. My husband and I only had coffee at Octeine which is their onsite small cafe at the entrance (could be so much better) but we also came to have a stroll around the estate. They have an onsite restaurant Fino which looked amazing and also the cellar door.

I spent so much time here sampling their products. The displays and decor are excellent along with the customer service. The stop here is a must when visiting the estate.
 
 Would highly recommend for a visit, even if you don’t give the wine tasting a go!
For info, the wine tasting was free if you bought some wine. Otherwise, it was advertised at $15 per person (which gave you at least 8 wines… we only tried their 4 fortified wines so don’t quote me!). They also offer a tasting of their 100 year old port for $100!
 Great stop for a quick port tasting. Stopped off for an hour at this beautiful location. A quick peruse of the art gallery was followed by a helpful member of staff being able to arrange a shorter version of their normal wine tasting to focus on their fortified wines. David was extremely welcoming and knowledgable (especially as it was only his second day!) After trying four of their fortified wines, we moved onto their skincare barn and had a great time trying out their products in their huge sink. A quick coffee from their coffee shop and we had to hit the road.

 Vineyard History of this vineyard is amazing bought a handmade knife 2 bottles of wine the best marmalade I’ve tasted olive oil and other items
Vineyard History of this vineyard is amazing bought a handmade knife 2 bottles of wine the best marmalade I’ve tasted olive oil and other items Worth a stop to have been there This is the quintessential Barossa winery famous for having vintage tawny for every year for over a century.  Their wines are better than average but IMO not great for our tastes. however even their cheapest Para tawny is pretty good. The staff in the 'cellar door' were attentive and informative but at the end of the day it is a big operation and not so personal.  There are a few other bits in the complex like a gallery, gift shop, etc, restaurant and 'cafe'.  The 'cafe' should be an embarrassment as the winery is iconic but the 'producers platter' is not generous and is served in a cardboard tray. Inside seating is more nasty camp ground than cafe; it was 38C when we visited and in contrast most days sitting outside would be 'a moment'. - Give the 'cafe' a wide miss unless you get a platter with eyes wide open.  It might win a gong for one of the most uninspiring platters ever from any wine region.  On the way you probably will pass the Seppelt family mausoleum.   A few steps climb to get to it but nice views.

It was an excellent day, had lunch in the café, then had the experience. the venue is top class, and my guide for the experience, Erica, was such a lovely lady, very knowledgeable and a pleasure to meet and share some time with.

  Must Do Experience/Exceptional Our guide Ellouise was exceptional. Her knowledge and enthusiasm on the history made the Centenary experience unforgettable. Thank you Ellouise. Then the restaurant staff at Fino exceeded our expectations with their service and selections of food and wine to suit our last minute changes to the set menu. Nothing was too difficult.

 Seppeltsfield - well worth a visit Amazing place - so much history - beautiful grounds - has a craft/artisan area with great artists  - knife maker - leather work. The drive with all the palm tress is amazing & the family mausoleum. Well worth a visit.

 Memorable Another memorable outing at Seppeltsfield. Young Aaron was very knowledgeable, answered our every question and accommodated requests to set up extra tastings. He even offered to accompany us to the car with an umbrella  when it began to rain. First rate service to match the unrivalled port. The ‘66 hangs in the glass like treacle. Very dark with concentrations of dried fruit, raisins, walnuts. Stunning.

 Excellent staff. Very helpful, answered all our questions and knew their stuff.
The wines we tried were great.
Atmosphere of the wine tasting area was nice but not as intimate and comfortable as some of the others we had been to.
Personally I just wasn't impressed by the level of the wines.
Though I think a few of the ports were well produced, overall not fond of neither table wines or the ports
 Picturesque This is a very beautiful location. The person serving our wines during the tasting was a little gruff and humorless, I didn't feel totally welcome. The wine was nice, but we did taste better wines from the area, so wouldn't put this down as a must when tasting in the area.

  Support Local I recently had the pleasure of touring the Seppeltsfield winery and it did not disappoint, Coco was a fantastic tour guide, showing me barrels that represented the history of the winery, vines that are older than me and new products that I could not wait to add to my collection.

  Cooper for a Day - Incredible Experience Seppeltsfield is an incredible winery, with some of the best Fortified Wines you can get in Australia, if not the world.
Cooper for a Day - Incredible Experience Seppeltsfield is an incredible winery, with some of the best Fortified Wines you can get in Australia, if not the world.A lesser known strength of Seppeltsfield is it's Cooperage.
Andrew, the head Cooper, gave us an experience I'd never forget! He walked us through, step by step, the old methods coopers used to build the barrels. Then after trialing the old method, Andrew and the guys would help us build the barrels in the new method. Surprisingly we actually got to do a lot of the work ourselves, which really gave me the feeling that it's MY barrel, one I made. Not just one I ordered.
With their careful guidance, the completed Barrel also looks just as good as any of the professional built ones they themselves completed. (Probably due to them standing over our shoulder helping us every step of the way). They are only allowed up to 4 (we had 3) and each person had a worker helping them at all times, so I never felt lost!
Anyone who's ever wanted a barrel, I highly recommend this course, Andrew and the guys are incredible in their assistance, knowledge and experience they share, and it was worth every cent.
Thanks guys!
 
  Wonderful Experience A wine experience to be enjoyed at great value for the cost (but you get that refunded if you buy wine). Our host was a lovely girl who was passionate and knowledgeable about her job and it was interesting to hear the history of the place. Beautiful gardens to be enjoyed and there is so much more to see there than just the winery with local artists/crafter's workshops, cafe and more.

  Fabulous We were wondering on the drive up the history behind the winery and the port. The history lesson was very interesting.  Tasting, smelling and seeing the port from our dates was birth was amazing. 1963 and 1960. Rich, syrupy and bold. Then were able to compare the colour with the other much younger people in our group was also interesting for them and us.  We would recommend this great tasting tour.
