Discover the art of wine tasting in Australia with Yalumba Family Winemakers, a leading provider of wine tasting experiences in the Barossa Valley, SA. Your journey through Yalumba''s iconic and premium wines begins in their Wine Room, where you will be greeted by friendly Wine Ambassadors who will share the stories and exceptional award-winning wines of this esteemed winery.
Begin your progressive tasting experience with a glass of Yalumba The Virgilius, their flagship white wine and Australia''s benchmark Viognier. As you savor the taste of The Virgilius, you will learn about the family passions and taste their Rare & Fine Grenache, The Tri-Centenary, in the Family Tasting Room.
Next, stroll through the stunning grounds to the private Signature Cellar, where you will partake in a comparative tasting of The Signature Cabernet Sauvignon & Shiraz, both current release and future vintage straight from the barrel. The Signature encompasses everything Yalumba''s family stands for and is the perfect representation of their history and ethos.
As you move through the labyrinth of former fermentation tanks, you will gain rare and privileged access to the family''s personal wine museum, an impressive collection of some of Australia''s first wines and other significant wine labels from the Old World.
Your wine tasting experience continues as you learn how Yalumba''s barrels are made in Australia''s only onsite winery Cooperage. Here, you will taste their flagship Shiraz, The Octavius, named after the 100 litre octave barrels iconic to Yalumba.
Finally, walk alongside the Horseshoe Vineyard to The Caley Hut, where you will discover three vintages of The Caley Cabernet & Shiraz. Enjoy an abundant local produce platter (or in cooler months a warm dish, by the roaring fire) while taking in the picturesque outlook of the very vineyard where some of the grapes for The Caley are sourced.
Yalumba''s wine tasting experiences are carefully curated to showcase Australia''s rich wine culture and appreciation. We Wander is proud to partner with Yalumba Family Winemakers, a winery that has been producing exceptional wines for over 170 years, to offer you an unforgettable wine tasting experience in the Barossa Valley, SA.
