Seppelt Cellar Door in Regional Victoria, Australia, invites you to explore their heritage-listed underground cellars, known as ''The Drives.'' As one of the country''s original winemaking pioneers, Seppelt Cellar Door offers a unique wine tasting experience that showcases some of the best wines in Victoria.
Excavation of the cellars began in 1868 by out-of-work gold miners and took over 60 years to complete. Today, the largest underground cellar in the Southern Hemisphere holds over 3 million bottles of wine. Your guided tour will take you through a labyrinth of hand-dug cellars, providing a fascinating glimpse into Australia''s pioneering wine history.
Once you emerge from the underground cellars, your guide will take you on a journey through Seppelt''s sparkling wines, including the Seppelt Sparkling Shiraz, a uniquely Australian wine style first made in the Seppelt Great Western Cellars in the early 1890s.
Seppelt Cellar Door offers wine tasting sessions, vineyard tours, and wine sampling, providing an opportunity to expand your wine knowledge and appreciation. Their wine tasting experiences allow you to sample some of the best wines in Victoria, from the cool Grampians country, the wild Henty hinterland, and the famous Cambrian soils of Heathcote.
The wine tasting events and sessions showcase Seppelt''s esteemed portfolio, including their flagship St Peters Grampians Shiraz, Drumborg Vineyard Riesling, and their multi-regional Chalambar Shiraz. Seppelt Cellar Door is arguably Australia''s most renowned producer of Sparkling Shiraz, a uniquely Australian wine style.
