About Hayes Family Wines
Hayes Family Wines is a small family winery with a cellar door on its own certified organic vineyard at Stone Well, west of Tanunda. The estate vines were planted in 1948, and the range also draws on old-vine single sites farmed by grower families across the valley. Every experience is tailored to the group's knowledge and interests. Options include a vineyard walk with a tasting from a single block, a tutored tasting of the estate wines, barrel samples of wines still in the making and blending a tawny to take home. The Estate tutored tasting starts from $50 per person, a Family Selection tasting of single-block wines runs for about 90 minutes at $75 per person, and a blending session with the winemaker takes about 90 minutes. For businesses, the team designs onsite tastings and events for internal team building or for hosting clients, and one-off experiences can be built to order. Each experience ends with a relaxed tasting through the wider range. Bookings for the tutored tastings and blending sessions are paid in advance with a short booking form, and the cellar door opens from Friday to Monday afternoons, with other times by appointment.
