TERMS AND CONDITIONS

Due to delays at a previous winery tasting, the first elements of my group arrived just before 3pm, to be told that only 3-4 members could undertake a tasting experience, and the rest were redirected to Prohibition Gin Distillery, positioned within the grounds.
My final group member arrived at 3.20 pm, an interstate visitor who had been looking forward to sampling the renowned selection of fortified wines on offer at this venue. On attempting to join the tasting of two of my group members already in session, he was refused. This was in the context of an empty tasting room.
To add salt to this wound, he observed a group of four people be sat down and commenced a tasting as he was walking out of the tasting room area.
I have been a customer of this winery for over 20 years now and have never been treated with such contempt or disdain by the attending staff.
The lack of flexibility, despite the clear capacity for product tasting, positions this business as hostile and arrogant, which is a clear shift from previous experiences at Seppeltsfield over the past two decades.
As a result of such poor and inconsiderate treatment of my guests, I will no longer put forward this business to any friends/family or strangers seeking recommendations for winery experiences in the Barossa.
There are plenty of other competing wineries who produce amazing aged fortified wines in this region, there is no need to waste your time or money on this business.
Avenue of Palms is a spectacular entrance to Seppeltsfield Estate.
The Estate is really fantastic to experience.
The Cellar Door for tasting and meals.
We were to late for wine tasting, but were able to peruse the Cellar.
We learned a lot about the history of the Estate and family.
Then there is the Vasse Virgin shop for olive-oil products made there!
We did purchase some products there.
The buildings, grounds and gardens are really exquisite.
There is a self-guided tour of the various locations, listened to the videos (accessed via the QR codes).
The 100's of Palm trees are mostly from Canary Islands.
Yes, well recommended.
We visited in March 2026.
Thank you.
Finished with a yummy lunch at Fino!
By the time we had finished our last wine taste we had been abandoned at our table, anyone who did want to purchase wine then chose not to.
We then had to stand around looking for somebody so we could pay for our tasting and leave.
I realize this is a very popular winery, (not that they were very busy during our visit) and I'm sure they expect visitors based on that but you should still uphold some decency and give every guest a great experience.
We had two of our party local and two interstate guests who were all left feeling mediocre about the whole ordeal. We were not rowdy, we were not rude. There was no reason why they should compromise our experience over other guests.
Prior to this we had an excellent experience at Wolf Blass winery and highly recommend their tasting.
We tasted the premium wines and it was $35 each for 4 wines (plus we could request more so we did and they were good to accommodate).
The regular shiraz and one of the premiums were quite poor, of course it’s a matter of taste, and the others were good (and expensive).
Some other wineries explain facts about the wine to us but here just poured them and told us the order to drink it.
So, some wines were nice and we ordered bottles even, but we won’t be recommending it.
The host was well informed and delivered in a very professional manner.
The tawny ports were amazing.
Shoutout to Russell… he was extremely knowledgeable in the tasting rooms and we really appreciated his expertise and friendly attitude.
It’s a very lovely estate and the grounds are stunning, bbq area and plenty of seating available. We were there on a Tuesday and it was reasonably quiet.
Tried a tasting package and the staff were really friendly.. special shout out to Russell as he absolutely knew his stuff!! What an asset
Perhaps the others might like to shadow as they didn’t seem as knowledgeable as Russel!
Absolutely worth a trip if you’re in The Barossa !
The staff were so great, customer service was excellent, they were all very knowledgeable and friendly.
We would definitely recommend this and look forward to coming back to do it again.
Thankyou so much!
The venue also has a small gin distillery and a wellness centre with handmade soaps and skincare products, which I’d love to explore more on my next visit. The scenery and buildings are beautiful, easy to get to, and the staff were exceptionally friendly and welcoming.
Highly recommend visiting I’ll definitely be going back.
Hannah took us in a tour of the vineyard and again was very knowledgeable and interesting. Would definitely recommend visiting this beautiful winery.
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
I highly recommend spending a good chunk of your day here.
I would definitely return here based on our experience.

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.
