Your journey through Yalumba’s iconic and premium wines begins in our Wine Room, where you will be greeted by one of our friendly Wine Ambassadors. They will host you throughout the day and share our stories and exceptional award winning wines.
Begin the progressive tasting experience with a glass of Yalumba The Virgilius, our flagship white wine and Australia’s benchmark Viognier.
With your glass of The Virgilius in hand, you will walk to our Family Tasting Room, learn about the family passions and taste our Rare & Fine Grenache, The Tri-Centenary.
Moving on through the stunning grounds, past the iconic Clocktower to the private Signature Cellar, partake in a comparative tasting of The Signature Cabernet Sauvignon & Shiraz, both current release and our future vintage straight from the barrel. The Signature encompasses everything our family stands for and the perfect representation of our history and ethos.
Having visited our labyrinth of former fermentation tanks, we will give you rare and privileged access into the family’s personal wine museum, an impressive collection including some of Australia’s first wines and other significant wine labels from the Old World.
Make your way through the winery to the Cooperage, Australia’s only onsite winery Cooperage. Here you will learn how our barrels are made, whilst tasting our flagship Shiraz, The Octavius, named after the 100 litre octave barrels iconic to Yalumba.
Walking alongside the Horseshoe Vineyard, you will discover The Caley Hut. Steeped in history, the hut has a picturesque outlook of the very vineyard where some of the grapes for The Caley are sourced. Be guided through three vintages of The Caley Cabernet & Shiraz whilst enjoying an abundant local produce platter. (The Caley Hut only possible in cooler months)

A day later, still reminiscing, I looked again at the website to see if there was any other tours we could do. I happened to see that if you purchased the “rare and fine” tasting only at $30, that it would be redeemed on a purchase. Now, we had spent way more than $30, yet were asked to pay full price on the wine I purchased.
This marred my experience of a perfect day!
I sent an email regarding this and my disappointment at spending several hundred dollars yet not getting any redemption on purchase. I didn’t really expect a response. So,
I was surprised to get a reply to the email from Bec, who was apologetic and offered me a choice of a bottle or a refund of $30.
I was delighted when she actually followed through and I was sent another lovely Yalumba red!
This kind of service is so rare these days. Absolute top class. Highly recommended and we will definitely visit again on our next visit to the Barossa. Thank you!
A tasting flight of some of the premium wines in the portfolio ends the tour, accompanied by a very good charcuterie/ cheese platter.
All in all a great experience, highly recommend as a commercial but still family owned and historic winery tour experience. The cooperage tour makes it unique
Loved that there was a wide selection and as couples we chose to try different wines. Thus really got to sample 10 rather than just 6 (since we shared). Shiraz was delish, and was surprised how much we liked the whites!
Stunning grounds. Wish we had time to tour the cooperage. Loved “Big Red” the painting! (My nickname.)
Delicious wines. The old buildings are just amazing.

My wife and I booked in for a $120 tour each and were extremely happy with the terrific, knowledgeable guide who took us around the estate explaining the history of Yalumba. The Cooperage (wine barrel making) was exceptional with a personal explanation of the stages involved in barrel making by a highly skilled and informative cooper.
We also had a notable visit to the Signature wines area and the amazing old wine storage tanks which have been repurposed.
Concluding the tour was a gourmet food platter accompanied by many samples of Yalumba's wines. As much driving was still to be done in the day, we declined the wine sampling but were provided with our choice of soft drinks to enjoy.
Wonderful value for money and a most memorable experience.
In addition to wine tasting you may wish to pay a visit to the cooperage warehouse on location.
Wine tasting and plater sensational.
Really recommend this experience.
We had a great time
Staff very friendly.
Will be back in the warmer weather.
Steak not worth $45.
Outside public toilets.
No table service.
Do not waste your time eating here.
A stalwart of the Barossa and must visit winery, a long history
If big wineries is what you're after, highly recommend Seppeltsfield and Chateau Tanunga.
Cheese platter delicious
The service matches the wine at Yalumba, both outstanding.
The grounds are beautifully set and are a perfect place to take some time out to relax. You can choose from a variety of flight tastings depending on your tastes.
I would recommend this as a destination if you visiting the Barossa Valley.
Thoroughly enjoyed all the wines and a fantastic platter. Will be going back very soon
It was the day before they were having a huge Anniversary Celebration so we went on an Unguided Tour throughout the Estate which we found fascinating & magnificent.
This was a perfect stop choice on our Wine Hopper visit to Barossa Valley. The option for a flight of White or Red Wines blended extraordinarily well with the palates of our group. The charcutier plate of cheeses, olives, crackers and thinly sliced prosciutto was a delightful complement to our wines.
The Wine Hopper option is the best value for your day in Barossa Valley and Yolumba is a visually appealing and taste bud treat you will not want to miss.
