About Kaesler Wines
Kaesler Wines farms some of the oldest vines in the Barossa, with Shiraz bush vines first planted in the 1890s on the home block around its Nuriootpa cellar door. The estate has historic buildings, gardens and cottages, and a cellar door that welcomes individual and group tastings from Thursday to Monday. The Kaesler family settled in the valley in the 1840s, and the wines are still made from those early plantings. For a private group, the Unearth Kaesler experience starts with a guided walk through the vineyard and winery that links each site to the wines. Guests then move into the Old Bastard Room, a cosy space with its original rustic features that once served as a cattle shed and later as the estate's first tasting room. The structured tasting covers seven premium wines, finishing with the Old Bastard Shiraz, and costs $75 per person for six to 12 guests from Thursday to Saturday. A Barossa cheese platter or a larger grazing board from a local patisserie can be added to the table. Bookings are confirmed with a deposit, no outside alcohol is allowed on the property, and the estate does not host hens or bucks parties.

We stayed in the attached cottages a few nights ago, so visited the Kaesler cellar door for a tasting too. The wines were delicious and served with such enthusiasm by the lovely Isabel, who was amazingly friendly, chatty…

Great location and setting. Really enjoyable wine tasting experience - we were talked through each wine and the history behind it which really elevated the experience. Highly recommend.

Fantastic wines in a beautiful environment. We did the icon tasting and the regular tasting, both very enjoyable. The Old Bastard Shiraz is as good as it's cracked up to be. Worth it for the icon tasting.

Absolutely wonderful vineyard tour and tasting with a lovely sit down sampling of Kaesler’s premier wines. Camryn was very knowledgeable and educated us on the history of the vineyard and wines.
