Seppeltsfield

Seppeltsfield is a historic winery estate in the Barossa Valley, South Australia, located at Seppeltsfield near Tanunda. Established in 1851 by Joseph Ernst Seppelt, it is one of Australia's oldest wineries and is renowned for its Centennial Cellar, which holds a barrel of Para Tawny for every vintage since 1878. The estate combines heritage buildings, vineyards, cellar door, restaurant and craft studios.

Visitors can explore a large heritage winery estate set among vineyards and historic stone buildings with a palm-lined avenue. Expect a working winery with cellar door tastings, guided tours of the Centennial Cellar and 1878 gravity-flow winery, the FINO restaurant, JamFactory craft and design studios, art exhibitions, picnic grounds and landscaped gardens. The site blends wine, food, history and contemporary craft.

Founded in 1851 by Silesian migrant Joseph Ernst Seppelt after purchasing land in the Barossa. His son Benno Seppelt expanded the estate and completed the gravity-flow winery in 1878. In 1878 Benno set aside a puncheon of Tawny port from that vintage, beginning the Centennial Cellar tradition of keeping a barrel for every subsequent vintage, now the world's only unbroken collection of fortified wine spanning over 140 vintages. The estate is State Heritage listed.

A defining icon of Barossa wine culture and Australian winemaking heritage, representing continuous winemaking since 1851 and Silesian settlement influence. Today it is a cultural precinct combining wine, gastronomy and craft through its collaboration with JamFactory, and is a major tourism anchor for the Barossa Valley wine region.
