Looking for a hidden gem cellar door to visit this weekend?
How about taking a trip to the stunning grounds of Elderton Wines Cellar Door in Nuriootpa.
Cosy up next to the glorious open fire and enjoy one of the many appealing tasting offerings from the family-owned and operated Elderton Wines Cellar Door.
From a chocolate and wine matching experience, to a Shiraz masterclass, you might need to make a few visits to truly relish in all the glory Elderton has to offer.
The Ashmead family has crafted a relaxed sense of luxury at their award-winning cellar door nestled in the middle of the majestic 126-year-old Command Shiraz vineyard.
Brothers Cameron and Allister manage the business, and Jules Ashmead is Head of Production.
Elderton’s Cellar Door was the winner of the 2019 South Australian Best of Wine Tourism Awards – Wine Tourism Services category, and last year, was named in the top three South Australian Cellar Door experiences at the 2019 South Australian Tourism Awards.
This is a reflection of the family’s dedication to providing an outstanding Cellar Door experience.
Not only is the Cellar Door a gorgeous spot to visit, Elderton produces delicious wines.
The vineyards have been in the family for an impressive 39 vintages, and the cellar door was renovated in 2017, after formerly being used as the family’s homestead.
The cellar door is open seven days a week for tastings, with bookings recommended to secure your spot next to their sublime open fire.
