Seppeltsfield, the 2024 winner of the Australian Tourism Award for Best Winery, is Australia’s premier winery estate.

Established in 1851, it blends world-class wine, gourmet dining, art, craft, and boutique retail into an unforgettable experience. Its historic heritage buildings and picturesque grounds have transformed into a vibrant tourism village, where history meets innovation.

Just an hour’s drive from Adelaide, Seppeltsfield is most famed for the Centennial Cellar. The Cellar is home to the longest unbroken line of Single Vintage Tawny’s in the world, with every year from 1878 to today.

Seppeltsfield estate partners include FINO destination restaurant for an ultimate long lunch experience; JamFactory Craft and Design Studios to local artisans working and purchase local handmade items; Vasse Virgin Natural Olive Oil Skin Care for retail and workshop experiences; and Prohibition Distillery to sample craft spirits. The estate also offers boutique self-contained accommodation at The Lodge at Seppeltsfield.

Seppeltsfield offers wine tastings, lunches, winery and vineyard tours, hands-on workshops, and experiences. Visitors can taste 100-year-old tawny; tour behind the scenes in the historic cellars; or explore the estate on a Segway tour.

Seppeltsfield Cellar Door is open daily offering seated wine tasting with a tasting list of white, rose and red wines, as well as fortified wines. Visitors can also enjoy a glass of wine, cheese platter or other light refreshments in the café in the estate grounds.

Their most recent awards not only include the 2024 Australian Tourism Award for Best Winery but they were recognised in the World’s Best Vineyards, Top 100 for 2024, for the sixth year in a row. Their wine awards are numerous, including being inducted into the James Halliday Hall of Fame.
