A note to remember
Our cellar doors offer many experiences – wine tastings, food, tours, games for the kids and more. But one experience we don’t encourage is wandering down our vine rows.
Our vines are the foundation of our South Australian wine story. You can help to keep our vines safe by not walking into our vineyards. Your shoes, clothes and vehicles can pick up and spread pests, diseases and weeds, which can kill or damage our vines.
There are many ways you can enjoy all that our wine regions offer without risking the health of our vines. When you arrive at a cellar door, chat to the staff about the tours, experiences and activities available.
Enjoy our wines, protect our vines.
