Really enjoyed this place. We were there for the fortified. The young man that served us was knowledgeable, very friendly. He really cared about our experience. Took the time to share his knowledge, making sure we had enough information to make an informed purchasing decision. We bought 6 bottles to be delivered back to Melbourne. Delivery was quick.

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. I highly recommend spending a good chunk of your day here.
I would definitely return here based on our experience.

Booked a 6 course lunch and enjoyed most of it except the last part where everyone else around us get a different dessert combo from us (I was excitedly waiting for the crème brûlée and chocolate cake everyone else seemed to be getting) but I got a cheesecake and yoghurt panna cotta instead. I didn’t like the panna cotta. My favourite dish of the whole lunch was probably the pork and the corn “balls” (dumplings).
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.read moreread less

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.read moreread less

We had a great time on our tour at Seppeltsfield's. Susanne was a great guide, showing and telling us all about the family history. The highlight was sampling a 100-year old port from the barrel plus a sample from each of our birth years.
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!

Visiting from Sydney - we celebrated a friend's birthday here at the restaurant - Fino and enjoyed a 6 course degustation lunch. There was an option for wine pairing however we just ordered our preferred bottles for the table.
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.

"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.Onsite is a very tasteful shop Vasse Virgin, which is a natural olive oil producer. 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.

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.
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!

Our first stop of the day, Nice lovely grounds of Seppeltsfield . When we stepped into the vineyard, it seems like we are transported back in time, Spanish villas and buildings. Lovely to soak in the sun outdoor with a bottle of wine. Their forte is in fortified wines. Did a tasting flight and got to choose 6 wines from the list. Nothing exceptional caught my palate but really enjoyed the grounds.

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.read moreread less

We went here July 10th, 2023. It was a Monday. We went to other places prior to this so by the time we came here, it was closed. But they were kind enough to allow us to take a look around and take photos. I love their gift shop where they sell beauty products made with natural ingredients. You can even try them on. They have samples. If not for the limit on my luggage, I would've bought so many products. They're all so good! I ended up buying their olive oil soap (you won't need to use lotion if you bathe using this), and 2 lip balms. I would put the lip balm on some of my lines and they seem to disappear. Amazing!
Overall, this place is amazing for tours and stuff. If you're visiting Adelaide, make sure to visit this place. ????????

Seppeltsfield is the very first winery that I had the pleasure of visiting in the Barossa Valley, and it represents everything the Barossa has to offer. From the moment you step out of your car in the parking lot until you step back into your car, you are greeted with beautiful sights, sounds, smells, tastes and interactions. The grounds are lovely. We were lucky enough to visit on a beautiful day, so was able to enjoy everything that the grounds had to offer. Inside the winery, they offer tastings at their unique pod stations. The staff are very friendly and knowledgeable of the wines, and do their very best to match you with the wines they think you will like. I really loved everything about Seppeltsfield.

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!

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.read moreread less

Taste sensation The Centenary tour was perfect in every way. To taste the 100 year old port was sensational and then to compare it to a year of birth vintage with both tastings being sourced direct from the barrel was better than hoped, even with very high expectations. A tour of the old homestead and the facilities with a history lesson was very entertaining and then to finish off with some tasting of current release wines made for an excelled day. Highly recommended.read moreread less

Spectacular Our first visit to this iconic winery, on a rainy winter morning. Scenic drive trough the remarkable avenue of palm trees. The place with its old buildings and lush gardens is absolutely breathtaking. Opulence and luxury feel. Wine tasting was a fantastic experience, we ordered a few boxes of Shiraz to be delivered directly to us. We definitely will be back!!read moreread less

Great historic adventure What a wonderful experience, it is great to see and hear about the history of this estate but also to taste the fortified wine from our birth years and the 100 year old as well. I highly rate this tourread moreread less

What a destination! Amazing heritage buildings in a beautifully maintained garden setting. You can easily spend hours here wandering through the gallery or the skin and body product buildings. Can't wait to return and look at tours and a meal.

I didn’t like how the wine tasting went. We basically went in there, sat down and were told to pick 6 wines from the tasting list. No introduction to the winery, the history nor even their wines. I felt like we weren’t taken seriously. The guy who served spoke very quietly, with the background music and noises from other people, we had a hard time hearing him. He seems like a salesman, not really interested in wine.
To the wine itself, I found their fortified wines are good but there are better red and white out there.
The ground of the winery is beautiful though, big and scenic vineyard. For some weird reasons, there are so many palm trees around which does not feel like Barossa.

A brilliant experience from start to finish. We had the last tasting of the day which we thoroughly enjoyed. Following that the gentleman who was speaking with us about the winery was telling us about the 100 year old tasting and year of birth tasting which we hadn't booked. After a bit of pleading they took us to do both which was thoroughly appreciated and well worth every dollar. This is one of the few places in Australia where you can experice history that goes back further than the last century. Top marks to team Seppeltsfield and appreciate you bending the rules a bit to accommodate our request it made our day ????

Seppeltsfield is one of most scenic vineyard in Barossa Valley. It is so green, beautiful architecture, well maintained gardens and it so serene. The staff are really welcoming and have a great knowledge about their wine. Now this part of the review can be personal since what you like can be subjective. Most of us who had their wine, we thought they were average and slightly over priced. I am definitely huge fan or their fortified wines and have bought 3 bottles but I could not bring myself to buy their other ones.

Our group of 6 did the Centenary Tour, which was a superb multi sensory immersive experience. We tasted the fortified (port) from our birth years, as well as the 1922 centenary port. We loved the history narrative provided by our fabulous host David. All set among the picturesque settings of the Seppeltsfield grounds. This was a really fabulous experience- thoroughly recommend! Lunch at Fino was also lovely.
