About Atze's Corner Wines

Atze's Corner Wines is the cellar door of a Barossa family whose Kalleske ancestors settled in South Australia in 1838. Six generations on, winemaker Andy makes wine from the family's old vines on Research Road in Nuriootpa. The style aims for generous Barossa fruit balanced with freshness. Tastings here are hosted rather than self-poured. The Discovery tasting covers eight wines for $10 per person, while the Rare and Old Vine tasting looks at six single-vineyard and old-vine releases for $20 per person. For something more personal, the Private VIP experience sits your group down with one of the winemakers. It includes a look around the winery, a visit to the historic Zen Master Vineyard and a tasting of up to 14 wines, and each guest leaves with a bottle of old-vine wine. After the tasting, many groups move out to the balcony for a platter of local produce and wine by the glass or bottle. Platters can be adjusted for vegan, vegetarian and gluten-free guests, and every wine is vegan friendly. Groups of six or more should book ahead, and the team looks at large groups and buses one by one, usually hosting them before regular opening. Private functions for celebrations and corporate gatherings can be arranged outside trading hours, although weddings are not part of the offer.

Frequently asked questions

How much do the tastings cost?

The Discovery tasting of eight wines is $10 per person and the Rare and Old Vine tasting of six wines is $20 per person. The Private VIP experience is $100 per person, with a minimum of two guests.

Can a large group or a bus come for a tasting?

Yes, although large groups are considered case by case. Big group tastings are generally run before the cellar door's regular opening hours, so raise it with the team well ahead of your date.

Is food available at the cellar door?

There is no restaurant, but generous platters of local produce are served to share. Platters can be tailored for vegan, vegetarian or gluten-free guests if you mention it when ordering.

When is the cellar door open?

It opens Friday, Saturday and Sunday from 12.30pm to 4.30pm, and closes on Christmas Day, New Year's Day and Good Friday. Walk-ins are welcome, but a booking guarantees your spot.

Can we hold a private function at Atze's Corner?

Private functions for celebrations and corporate gatherings can be arranged outside regular opening hours. Weddings are not hosted, so it suits a group tasting followed by a relaxed private gathering.
