A special wine experience! The weather was perfect a sunny Winter’s day with all the hills and grape vines setting the perfect scene. The venue is superb with just enough history to tell us about the beginnings of Jacob’s Creek. We were booked for a Wine Tasting through our holiday package. The staff were the best and we were told all about the various wines. We all loved the Tawny Port in particular and bought some. There were great photos and lots of laughs. It was a special experience.read moreread less

What a Fantastic Experiance! Even though it was a horrible windy rainy day, our picnic was an extreemly good way to have lunch in the Basossa. We were met and made to feel very welcome and special right from when we steeped through the door, and our host was extreemly knowledgeable and went out of her way to ensure that the experiance was taylored just for us, and we could enjoy it to the fullest extent possible. I had thought that Jacob's Creek was a run of the mill wine that you could get at any Dan Murphys, only to be blown away by limited edition wines that could only be obtained at the Cellar Door, and boy were they anything but "run of the mill", they were exceptional in both taste and value. Our picnic was delicious, and it was probably more comfortable for us to have at a table, rather than on the ground outside! Our host even advised us of the best way to select our 6 wines, and the 15% discount easily covered the transport fee.read moreread less

Make sure you book your wine tastings! Was really looking forward to stopping and doing a wine tasting but unfortunately we were unable to. We are from out of state and are used to simply stopping at wineries as we drive around for a tasting. We did not anticipate having to book for a quick tasting. It was a cold wet wintery day and we were told to come back in 2 hours time when staff were back from lunch and that we should have booked. My bad for not doing the research. As Jacobs Creek was on our way to our accommodation we were not going to double back and return.read moreread less

I'm sorry to hear you were not able to do a tasting with us- we do strongly recommend making a booking in advance to secure a spot and encourage this for other areas in the Barossa also. We are doing our best to manage staff resourcing and ensure we have as much availability as we can, booking in advance helps us to ensure we can offer the best experience possible.

All hype its a beautiful place but to many rules to follow.
If you sit outside near the restaurant you cant drink alcohol if you sit in jacobs creek you cant eat food. They did not have a high chair for the baby. And the service was slow. The place is good. But the over all experience is poor.

Jacobs Creek Winery at Barossa Valley is well worth the trip. Very popular and there are regular bus tours so make sure it's first on your list if your planning a wine tasting and vineyard tour like we did. We got there at opening time and they serve free barista coffee. Lovely! Did the wine tasting and well worth the money.

An exceptional wine tasting experience at Jacob’s Creek! The staff were incredibly knowledgeable, welcoming, and passionate about their wines, making the experience both educational and enjoyable. Each tasting was perfectly curated, highlighting the region's best flavors. The setting was stunning, with beautiful vineyard views that added to the charm. Whether you're a wine enthusiast or just looking for a relaxing day out, Jacob’s Creek is a must-visit when you in Adelaide. Highly recommended!

I recently had the opportunity to visit Jacob's Creek winery in Barossa Valley, and I was very impressed. The winery is located in a beautiful setting with rolling hills and vineyards. The grounds are well-maintained and there is a lovely garden area where you can relax and enjoy the views.
We also had lunch at the Harvest Kitchen restaurant, and the food was delicious. We started with a shared antipasto platter, which was full of fresh and flavorful ingredients. For our main course, I had the lamb shank, which was tender and flavorful. My wife had the steak, which she also enjoyed.
Unfortunately, we were not able to do a wine tasting as they were very busy. However, we were able to purchase a few bottles of wine to take home.
Overall, I had a great experience at Jacob's Creek winery. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a beautiful and relaxing day out in the Barossa Valley. Make a reservation for a wine tasting, especially if you are visiting on a weekend.
The winery is open from 10am to 4.30pm daily. There is plenty of free parking available on site.

Double Barrel in the Barossa Warm welcome with a fizzy glass of wine and then a wander through the vines with an informative explanation of the different grape varieties.The area set up for the wine tasting was away from the public area so nice and quiet. Our host was very knowledgeable on the wines and the double barrel range. We tried 5 different versions, each better than the last and gave a new insight to the different blends, which has helped us make better choices at the local bottle shop when buying this brand.
An enjoyable couple of hours at a very reasonable price, just wish we had chosen the lunch option as it was a great day and a lunch with the wines would have rounded it off nicely.

Good times, great vibes We took the tasting experience for the limited release wines. Very well handled by professional and friendly staff. The wines were well explained along with the history of the vineyard and the vines. The cellar door is beautifully designed with the harvest kitchen set in an amazing location. With creek trails, a showcase vineyard, sun and shadows all around, it was a very inviting and lingering experience.read moreread less

Lunch at the Cafe, not at all impressed. Looking for a quick bite to eat, and decided to try the Cafe at Jacob’s Creek winery. Huge mistake. QR codes only, no paper menus.Ordered the Beef pie. Please, if you are going to charge 18 dollars for a pie, serve in on a china plate, with proper cutlery.
We ate in the cafe, so to have the pie come out on a cardboard tray and sitting on a bed of fresh spinach with tomato sauce in a cardboard tub is insulting. The wooden knife and fork was the icing on the cake.
It also does not help the experience when the pie is not hot. (Perhaps the inedible cold spinach underneath the pie a contributing factor).
A request for an extra hot coffee which was Luke warm and weak certainly capped off this memorable experience.
If unable to give commitment to deliver an acceptable standard in the Cafe for service and food delivery, then perhaps for the winery’s best interest, it would be best to close it down.
This experience has ensured that we will never visit the Jacob’s Creek winery again.

I'm sorry to hear that your experience at Jacob's Creek did not meet your expectations on this occasion. Our food offering in the Cafe is a lighter option for food which can be enjoyed in the Cafe space or outside on the lawn area, or even taken away to enjoy in another area of our site, the main reason for us providing it on recyclable plates and cutlery, to give flexibility to enjoy our spaces.
if you wish to enjoy a full dining experience, our restaurant partner Harvest Kitchen is open to enjoy a choice of two menu offerings for lunch.
We will provide the feedback on the food itself to Harvest Kitchen, and also re-visit our coffee training with team members to ensure our coffee service is of good quality at all times.

harvest kitchen food was delicious, well portioned. Views across the vineyard amazing. Staff friendly and knowlegable. Wine tasting included with meal...not much of a wine drinker. The Tawny sour with lunch was my choice of drink, fantastic and well worth the trip alone. Regardless, the wife and I had fun savoring the different wines. Very fun and memorable 45th birthday lunch!

We came to visit the place as we are proud to show it to my sister and family who were visiting Adelaide. We loved the place and was able to do the tasting earlier as what we have expected. The staffs were polite and they knew we would like to do the tasting but dont have the time so they were able to accomodate us and made some arrangements. We were hesitant to buy the 57 Rare Aged Tawny but ended up on coming back after tasting other wines from other wineries. Taste is much better but price is almost the same. We bought the 57 yo Tawny and Double Barrel Shiraz. We highly recommend the wines in Jacob’s Creek. 💖🍷🍸

Over priced with attitude From the time we arrived, a staff member was unfriendly and cocky. we came with a group of 10 family members and we’re here for wine testing and a group meal. The staff member a young man in his 30s was just tolerating us and talking down to the group which was offputting. We had paid $75 per person and the food was lucky to be valued at $35. Lots of bread not to mention that we had all bought drinks as well on top of the $75 then been told that we weren’t booked in for wine testing and sat the group at a door that opened constantly and the chill from the wind.was chili. Will not be returning. We spent the whole day going to wineries and this one was the worst.read moreread less

We will pass on your comments to our restaurant partner regarding the food offering.
With regards to the tasting experience, I'm unsure if the experience that you reviewed was indeed the experience you took part in, as we haven't hosted a Double Barrel experience for a group of 10 people recently. We strongly recommend for group tastings, to book prior to visiting to ensure that we have a space available as we have limited resources and spaces that can accommodate groups of this size.
We do aim to maximise the use of all of our spaces when busy if the tasting bars are already full with bookings, in this instance we were only able to accommodate in a space at the end of cellar door close to the door that leads out to the lawn area.
I will certainly take the feedback back to our team and to our restaurant partner.

Appalled by Racism I am absolutely disgusted by the racism we encountered at Jacob's Creek. When we arrived for our lunch booking, a staff member named Dru greeted us with pure disrespect. He singled out my husband, who is Asian Australian, and ordered him to return to our car because he had a small container of food for our son, who has severe food allergies. Despite my husband's attempt to explain, Dru aggressively yelled at him to take the bag to the car, questioning his understanding of English.But it didn't stop there. Even our friends from Sydney, who are also Asian Australians and speak perfect English, were treated rudely by Dru. Meanwhile, he showered white Anglo guests with smiles and kindness. It's sickening to witness such blatant discrimination in this day and age.
Not only was our lunch ruined by Dru's appalling behavior, but when we raised the issue with the manager, Pete, he dismissed our concerns with a feeble excuse about it being a "busy day." This is not just a matter of bad service; it's a matter of basic human decency. From my observation, Indian guests get the worst treatment.
Jacob's Creek, you need to do better. Address the racism within your staff ranks and create an environment that embraces diversity. We won't be returning until this is rectified, and we'll be spreading the word about our horrific experience to anyone who will listen. Shame on you.

I took my Sydney visitors to the winery today.
As we arrived, we wanted to do some wine tasting but was politely told by a staff that online booking was required and today sessions were booked out.
We then headed to checkout the wines on display between the Cafe and entrance.
We were pleasantly greeted by the enchanting Emily. After a brief chat, she found out we were unable to have a tasting session. She kindly offered to let us try any wines we wanted. And we ended up tasting the double barrel matured Shiraz finish in VSOP barrel.
Full mark for Emily for terrific customer service. Please send her our regards.

A top-shelf, well presented, relaxing and modern take on a winery…
We dinned at the Wine Cafe and had the ‘Feed Me Eden’ experience - costing $59 per person…
From this menu we could choose options:
We went for the Torzi-MATTHEWS olives, fennel seed and chilli, followed by Chickpea hummus, hemp seed zaatar and sprouted chickpea, followed by Market Broccoli, Smoked White Bean and Olive Granola, then Gumshire Pork with Toasted Buckwheat and Pomegranate. Finally the Pezznati Zuchinni, Burnt Brown Onion and Quince Glaze.
The grounds were well presented, with options for seating in and out - a neat bar, tasting area and purchase options.
Not cheap, however service, food and presentation of both the food and dining areas were first class.
Highly recommended for a special occasion.

Pleasant experience overall Overall we had a pleasant experience, the staff conducting the wine testing were friendly and knowledgeable. The atmosphere was lovely and very relaxed (we went during the week).A couple of small things which if addressed/allowed would have made for a 5 star experience. First, we had a designated driver who we were told over the phone would be provided a complimentary non alcoholic beverage, this did not eventuate. Second, we wanted to order some desert from the harvest kitchen menu which we were told we could do only via the cafe counter, when we went to the counter we were told we could not order from the menu, the only dessert available at this time were a few remaining pastries.

With our 'Designated Driver' programme the complimentary soft or hot drink should certainly have been offered- I will follow up with the team and ensure that this is being offered consistently.

Beautiful spot We were gifted with a voucher for a wine tasting package experience, it was good. We then got a platter in a cardboard box which didn’t entice us to stay. We did as it was a beautiful day so we sat out side with a bottle of bubbly and to eat our platter but no cutlery to cut the cheese or pâté. Not a big deal but if it was served on a board, it would have been nicer and would have stayed longer. They had gin cans on display but couldn’t purchase single cold ones to drink outside. An alternate for not a huge wine fan would have been nice too. But overall a nice place to visit.read moreread less

Great experience at Jacobs Creek. Thank you Shannon for your time and the private gin tasting. The FIFA soccer area was still setup & I was able to kick a ball with another guest just spontaneously. They even have a vineyard display area where you can walk through grape varieties.

Changed my view of Australian wines A pleasant surprise. A very friendly and knowledgable guide. Designated driver also looked after very well and treated as part of the visiting group rather than as an also-ran.Comprehensive information given about each of the wines tasted and all questions answered. Now believe that many in the UK, including me until now, underrate Australian wines. Perceptions need to be addressed
Excellent experience

There are certainly some challenges on the perception of Australian wine, so it is great to hear that our team have helped to change that mindset- we have some incredible wines coming from not only ourselves but other wineries, we just need more people to explore everything Australian wine has to offer!

Beautiful winery and great wines. $55 per head for a picnic of two basic platters shared between 9 people is a bit over priced though.
Not pleased with Dru’s service in the beginning. I spilt my glass of wine as the table was wobbly and as my friend lent her elbow on the table the wine spilt all over the table and her. Dru bought over a tea towel which we were thankful for however it wasn’t enough and I asked if we could please have some paper towel or serviettes.. he proceeded to point at the tea towel which was already soaked through. I thought that was really rude and arrogant. I work in customer service and I wouldn’t have the attitude he had regarding an accidental spill. It happens. Also in future, paper towel soaks up liquid much easier than a tea towel.
I’d steer clear of this place. Very much a tourist trap. Smaller wineries close by have much better service and the staff to actually serve you.

Also in future, paper towel soaks up liquid much easier than a tea towel.
I’d steer clear of this place. Very much a tourist trap. Smaller wineries close by have much better service and the staff to actually serve you.

Nice venue but won’t be back . Was ok but the staff presenting the wine was so slow and long winded we were happy to finish ! Small platter box was not good value at all. A small cheese , too many dull crackers ,dried fruit and some odd tasting terrine ? had to search for utensils after it was given to us. Left hungry!
Witnessing staff asking new guests if they had a booking felt rude and unwelcoming I understand the need to book but surely the offer of enjoying a glass of wine and waiting for next available time is a better way to approach new arrivals !

I visited the Cellar Door last week and was amazed at the ultra modern fitout and the ultra attentive staff. Nothing was too much trouble and I was pleasantly surprised to try some of the wines on offer. I am a big fan of Jacobs Creek wines and only wish I had had more time to spend there. Worth visiting. Try the cafe. Lots of yummy goodies.

Lovely place to visit for wine tasting. The staff are excellent and give you some very good information about the Barossa wine making . The various varieties of vine you get here are amazing. The grape vines had just started to sprout for the season ahead. I liked the Shiraz Cabernet Sauvignon aged in Rum barrel

Jacob's Creek - Amazing place to visit. If you are in the Barossa take the time to drop into Jacob's Creek Cellar Door. The staff were experienced and knowledgeable and the wines were fabulous! My husband was the designated driver and he received a free glass of soft drink while I enjoyed my tasting. We also took the time to walk down the track to see the famous creek.
Such a beautiful setting and a wonderful experience.

Impressive visitor centre Two adults and 3 children made a quick visit to Jacob's Creek to look at the visitor centre and surrounds and have a glass of wine, a coffee and some soft drinks. Very impressed by the quality of the centre and all of its facilities. Didn't do wine tasting although that area looked very professional. Jacob's Creek is a sponsor of the women's world cup soccer, so the centre had set up a mini-soccer pitch with ball and goal net, so the kids greatly enjoyed shooting goals.read moreread less

Picnic Lunch Emily embraced total ownership of my event, and I felt confident that my all aspects of the Event were understood and her communication prior to the event were excellent.On Sunday the 21st of May, 2023 Shannon and his team exceeded my expectations through exemplary service, excellent food and wine, that exceeded my expectations.
Shannon is a great asset to Jacobs Creek, people make a business, his wealth of knowledge and communication skills are outstanding, as some of us represent the 5th generation of the Gramp family we felt both proud and passionate towards Jacobs Creek, and the history connected to our family.
Shannon, quite simply exceeded our expectations for memorable event, sincere thanks

Blissful & Relaxing. This experience began with wine tasting so that we could then choose our own wine for the picnic & our host was Lauren. She was friendly, knowledgable & listened to our likes & dislikes eventually guiding us toward choosing a most divine grenache. The picnic bag also included a rug, water, a food pack & a map of walking trails so we could choose our own picnic spot. We chose to get away from the cellar door & find a quiet spot by Jacob's Creek itself. Absolutely perfect spot. We couldn't help but relax & soak in the quiet, the bird life & the croak of resident frogs. The food pack consisted of cheese, quince paste, pate, crackers, & dried fruit. It was all delicious, but in my opinion could have done with half the quantity of cheese & the addition of something fresh (fruit or vege). As we were in the Barossa for the weekend & this was our day two, we'd already had pretty much the same lunch the day before (at maggie beer's farmshop) & our accomodation had generously provided cheese & crackers, so by this time we were a little cheesed out! This is no one's fault & GREAT that local products are celebrated & promoted. I share this so that viewers are aware & can pace themselves accordingly. Our experience with Jacobs Creek was excellent & we thoroughly enjoyed our time there. We also appreciated terrific & helpful staff.

Definitely Worth Doing. What an outstanding experience. Definitely the best wine tasting experience we have had. Louise began with walking us through the different grape vines & allowed us to taste some remaining grapes before going inside to start tasting & comparing the selected wines. She was an excellent host, sharing information without being overly technical & answering our questions. The setting was perfect too, looking out over the vines. It was an excellent start to our Barossa Valley weekend.read moreread less

My sincerest apologies for this error regarding dietary requirements. I have followed up with the team as we do cater to dietary requirements as part of our picnic experience, and this should have been prepped for as part of your booking.
My apologies once again, and I hope we can welcome you back to Jacob's Creek in the future.

What a fantastic experience. We were lucky enough to be served by Dru. He has probably forgotten more about wine and the Barossa region than most people know. A great character, and awesome host. Will definitely be back next time we are over from Fremantle as this was, by a country mile, the highlight of our winery visits.

This former Orlando Gramp property has been massively developed into a great wine centre. There's a history display, merchandise, café, restaurant, toilets, and massive bar. Outside is a beautiful lawn, landmark gum tree, deck, sample vineyards, seating, a horticultural area, and great views. Book a visit to avoid disappointment, particularly for a wine tasting, or you will have to find a spot on the lawn. Our wine tasting was well executed despite feeling like a production line. The wine packages are worth a look at least to take home some cellar-only products. The free nationwide box delivery is a great benefit.

SO GLAD We Visited Jacob's Creek...! Shannon and his amazing team at Jacob's Creek provided our group of four adults with a very warm, welcoming, friendly, and knowledgeable wine tasting experience when we made Jacob's Creek our first stop in the Barossa Valley after having arrived in Adelaide a couple hours earlier on the Great Southern Rail Journey from Brisbane on the morning of Australia Day.My wife's & my "house wine" (our "go-to" everyday-drinking wine, is the Jacob's Creek 1847 Range Chardonnay, and when we let Shannon know this, the service became even warmer and more personal).
The venue itself is very sleek and modern, something which wouldn't be out of place in the Napa Valley or Santa Barbara wine regions of California. It features a Wine Café from where you can book the Picnic Experience, and enjoy food and wine outside on the beautifully maintained grounds, amongst the vines at Jacob's Creek.
Thanks to Shannon and his team for having made the four of us feel as welcome and special as you did !!

Poor Service Arrived early only to be told to wait couldn’t understand why when there was hardly a person in the place, went to have a coffee only to be told the machine was broken got an OJ then to see staff bringing out jugs of coffee for another party, we only needed two cups while we waited. Our staff kept walking away during the wine testing ended up with another staff jumping in to pour the next bottle as he could see we were bored, the wine was nice but would have been better to know some more about what we were drinking.
Thought the picnic box would have had some local small goods but only had a duck pate I could get from coles.

More of an amusement park vs cellar door It’s like an amusement park.Don’t expect a tasting if you haven’t booked, “it’s been booked for weeks” - apparently the margins aren’t strong for tastings.
You can order by the glass, at this bar. They also have spirits, at the other bar, they don’t make “wining and dining” easy. It’s pretty, as are most places in the region that offer better experiences and customer service.
