We booked the Elderton exceptional Wine Experience on recommendation from the Barossa Big 4 Holiday Park, where we had booked a powered site in our caravan for two nights. The voucher we received from the park was a 2 for 1 deal, providing a $25 discount off the experience we chose. We also ordered a cheese, and a grilled focaccia and Ortiz anchovy plate (definitely order a side plate, especially if you haven’t had much to eat before your booking). We were able to taste 6 wines each, personalised to our personal tastes by our lovely and knowledgeable hostess, Carolyn. She provided lots of information about the history of Elderton and its family owners. We chatted about wine, the Barossa, and things in general. We found the entire experience to be very enjoyable, and unpretentious, as although we love to drink wine, we don’t consider ourselves to be connoisseurs. We purchased three bottles from our tastings - the 2023 Merlot, 2024 Pinto Gris, and the 2024 Grenache Mintaro. The building was really lovely, with a wood fire burning. Another group had the sofas in front of the fireplace, which at first I was a little disappointed that we didn’t have that spot, but by the end of our tasting experience, I would have been burning up, as the reds really warmed us up! 🍷 We will definitely return and highly recommend...
Read moreWe have been enjoying Elderton wine for approximately 15 years and it's our favorite label. As a result of our purchases, Phil (my husband) is an Elderton Commander. Along with this title is an invitation to the annual Commander's luncheon at the winery at Nuriootpa in the Barossa Valley, with members of the Ashmead family and other lovers of Elderton Wines. Beautiful food along with outstanding wines is served throughout the afternoon. We have also stayed in the Elderton Accommodation in Nuriootpa while attending this fantastic afternoon and can recommend this to future travelers to the Barossa Valley. All purchases either by phone or online arrive safely on our doorstep within a week. The new Cellar Door is one of the best we have visited and the staff is second to none. Our love of the Elderton Wines is so great that we chose to purchase and serve it at our sons wedding and received many rave reviews from our guests. Cheers, Phil and...
Read moreOur group of 3 couples visited the Barossa Valley in September 2022. We rented a beautiful Homestead looking over the valley. We booked 6 of the best wineries for tastings in the Barossa. We all felt Elderton Wines was by far the best cellar door experience. Allister met our group at the front door, (Even though it was fathers day), gave us a rundown of the family history of the winery and the evolution of the family homestead to the transformation to the amazing cellar door. Allister sat us down for a private tasting of all their incredible wines, explained all that had gone into creating them, of course we all left a lot lighter in the back pockets, our credit cards got belted!!! I would thoroughly recommend The Elderton Cellar Door experience to all, lt was the highlight of our trip to the magnificent Barossa Valley. Thankyou so much Allister. Sincerely,...
