Their Barbera, Grenache, Tannat are all exceptional - the highlight being the Three Gardens SMG blend that really showcases their strength (and for a total bargain price too). I'm not the world's biggest port fan, but those in our party that were swooned at their Tawny. Staff were super nice even though they were busy at times juggling different groups. Been to the Barossa a heap and almost ashamed that this was my first time here - will be back soon for sure. * Of course you'll leave with a bottle or 12

The cellar door is small but also boasts a private wine tasting area if you are a serious lover of wine. The staff were friendly and insisted that I try a red blend which would have been one of my favourites of the day. Obviously they know far more about wine compared to me! The wines themselves were delicious and when asked the staff were extremely knowledge about their wines which is always a good sign. They explained wine in an easy to understand language and made it simplier for someone who still can't quite comprehend wine matching and will drink just about everything. They have a coffee machine at the cellar door if wine isn't your thing, but let's be honest, isn't wine everyone's thing...

Each quarter of the building was created for different purposes. The interesting one you will want to check out has a wine tasting gallery (with cheese boards available).

For $5 the staff will do a quick wine tasting with you, there is plenty of room to cater for tour busses so try and get in when it's empty. Nice wine, pretty place and good for a stop over on the way to other places.

My last tasting in the Barossa Valley…read more Kaesler was family owned from 1893 to 1986. In 1999 Ed Peter and Reid Bosward took the opportunity to purchase the property. Their quest was to revive the famous old vines on the property and create legendary wines. The vineyard was over 70% red wine vines that were over 40 years old or older. One of the tastings was Old Bastard. An intense old vine Shiraz. But started with Love Child Viognier 2021 fresh stone fruit notes with just a hint of cinnamon and French oak. Stonehorse Riesling 2022 light and tropical, lemon and lime. Barbera 2019 was one of my favorites. Big and bold. Blueberry, cherry and plum elevated. Touriga 2017 was a new one to me. Originally a varietal from Portugal that's usually used in fortified wines. But Kaesler uses it to create a dry table red. Notes of black fruits and tannins. I was intrigued. Thank goodness they offer a delicious cheese board for purchase. I needed some food with all the wines I was tasting. The board was more than generous in size. Four people easily, but two of us did decent damage to it. They offer walking tours of the old vine vineyard, followed by a tasting at the Cellar Door. Disappointed I didn't have the time and the tour requires a reservation. Only $40. The tasting room is on the original family farm, tucked in behind the Kaesler Cottages. The cottages are available for stays while in the area.

Such an extensive list, the cellar door workers choose a 5-7 tasting flight from that for you, based on what's open and tasting great at that moment I imagine. All were good. There's three or four price brackets for their wines too, which means there's something for every wine lover regardless of budget. The two workers were funny and friendly - definitely "characters" which made the visit an entertaining one. The chap was great at bringing different groups of tasters chatting and laughing together, making it such a relaxed atmosphere. (The two dogs sleeping by the fireplace didn't hurt either). Bonus for us was that we were invited back the next morning fort a barrel tasting session. We spent a great hour down there in a small group tasting five or six early versions of wines we had tried the afternoon before, as well as some new ones. Completely free too. Amazing experience. Note that there was a $5 suggested donation to a charity for all tastings, which they didn't push on customers at all, but it's a worth cause so pony up if you do pop in. The wines are well worth it.

Was not disappointed, Michael Papps was a fantastic host making spectacular wines that speak for themselves. Walked away with probably the best Pinot noir I have tasted of Australian origin, with only 600 bottles made I count myself lucky. Minimal intervention wine, relaxed tasting experience without the snobbery very commonly linked with some places in the industry. Will be back again for sure. Good range of home grown goodies (lentils etc) to take away if you aren't a big wino, with regional cheese platters on offer. Great outside area for chilling out with a few wines and good company.

Probably our favorite cellar door experience in Barossa. The grounds, atmosphere, and overall vibe…read moreare excellent: a fusion of high-brow and low-key, a sort of rustic luxury fusion. The service was friendly and, most importantly, the wines are quite good, and they have a nice variety to try many different styles and varietals -- from a bubbly blanc de noirs (including not only pinot but also grenache), some good shiraz, and a cabernet that was our favorite so far that we have tried in Australia (and quite reasonably priced, as well.)

I need to preface this review by saying when my friend and I made reservations to eat here a few…read moreweeks ago, we had been on the road, wine tasting for many days. By the time we sat down to our meal--served either with or without wine pairings--we were, to put it bluntly, all boozed out. My good Melbournian mate, whose powers of drink are formidable, summed it up to the waitress: "I would never have thought to hear myself say this, but I simply can't drink anymore!" We had, instead, complimentary sparkling water all night. So this review lacks what is a key part of this (or any) fine meal. Hentley Farms is in an extremely lovely setting: the Barossa Valley at its finest. The wine tasting room is a bit too self-consciously rustic, but the restaurant across a short lawn is a wonderfully modern, understated place--elegant and unpretentiously Australian. The tables are well-spaced apart and the waitstaff are plentiful and attentive. There's a great deal of personal care and a sense of privacy for such a public eating space. It was a seven course degustation, as is common in finer restaurants these days, along with a number of bouche amusées. In general, each was attractively presented, along with an often exhaustive description of each course (also increasingly common these days). In the case of Hentley Farms, however, a sous chef instead of waitstaff is dispatched to explain each dish, which allowed me to ask several questions. The head chef came out at the end and spoke with us warmly. I thought this was a reasonable twist on what is a necessary, if occasionally annoying intrusion. The dishes themselves were, of course, beautiful to look at, and often to taste. The fresh oysters in passionfruit juice with the essence of rosemary steaming underneath them in dry ice was an especially memorable (and flavorful) dish. The egg custard palate cleanser between the main dishes and desserts was also spectacular, served charmingly in an eggshell. But like so many fine restaurants, Hentley suffered slightly from less than memorable main courses. The meal started well and finished well, with excellent appetizers (if you can really call any course that in a degustation menu) and sweets after. The two "main" courses, however, a vegetable dish and a selection of two meats, while well-prepared, were sadly largely forgettable. The desserts were fairly good, especially the "pops" and candies that were not part of the seven course offerings. I am not sure the dinner ranked as one of my finest culinary experiences, but overall I had a very pleasant and pleasurable experience. And for service, I can only compare Hentley Farms to Chez Panisse. It is an extremely well-run restaurant, with an eye for detail and the needs of the patron. That in itself can make all the difference between a good meal and refined dining.
