This April, the AFL Gather Round is heading to South Australia’s beautiful Barossa, bringing exciting footy action to the region. On April 12th, Barossa Park, the area’s brand-new footy field, will host a match between North Melbourne and the Gold Coast Suns, followed by another on April 13th between Richmond and Fremantle.
As locals, interstate visitors, and even some international travellers flock to the Barossa to watch their favourite teams compete, there’s so much more to explore in this stunning region, from world-class wineries to accommodation options.
If you’re looking to make the most of your trip, a visit to Cimicky Wines in Lyndoch is a must. Just a short five-minute drive from Barossa Park, this historic winery combines exceptional wine, rich history, and family-friendly experiences. Plus, Cimicky offers accommodation options, so you can stay, relax, and enjoy all the action of Gather Round in one perfect location.
Known as ‘Cimicky Castle,’ the winery’s cellar door is a true gem of the Barossa. Built over 50 years ago by the Cimicky family, the castle maintains its original design, creating a unique spot for guests to explore. The sprawling gardens around the cellar door offer a peaceful but also fun vibe, where you can unwind. While parents can relax and sample some of South Australia’s finest wines, children can enjoy running around the lush grounds.
For those looking to stay for the weekend, Cimicky Wines also has ‘Cimicky House’, a historic homestead oasis that once belonged to Charles Cimicky. This spacious accommodation can comfortably host up to 11 guests and provides a true home-away-from-home experience. Surrounded by vineyards and lush gardens, Cimicky House offers privacy and comfort, all just steps away from the cellar door.
The property is equipped with luxury features, including a pool and a fireplace, so you can take your pick depending on the April weather. The open-plan living area overlooks the pool, creating a perfect spot for relaxation, while four spacious bedrooms and two bathrooms make sure that your stay is both comfortable and convenient. The house also includes quality furnishings, a fully equipped kitchen, and air conditioning for year-round comfort. Guests are provided with linens, bath towels, and firewood, with parking available for up to five cars.
