About Yalumba
Yalumba is a family winery founded in the 1840s on the edge of Angaston, and the Hill-Smith family still runs it. Its cellar door, the Wine Room, fills a former brandy bond store, with an open fire on cool days and gardens and a clocktower outside. Tastings here are seated, and each booking is given its own table for about an hour while guests work through a flight of four wines. Groups of nine or more, up to 20 people, can arrange a dedicated Group Tasting Experience ahead of time, so seating and a host are ready when everyone arrives. For something more hands-on, the hour-long cooperage tour shows barrels being built in the winery's working cooperage. Yalumba Unlocked runs for around two hours and begins in the Wine Room with the family's history, while the private Signature Tour is a half-day outing with vineyard visits, rare wines and lunch. Platters of local cheese and charcuterie can be added to any tasting, and the lawns have games for a slow afternoon in the sun. Everyone taking part in a tasting or tour must be 18 or over, and bookings are recommended, especially for groups.

Frequently asked questions
How many people can join a group tasting at Yalumba?
Standard seated tastings suit individuals and small groups. Parties of nine or more, up to 20 guests, are asked to arrange a Group Tasting Experience in advance so the team can set up seating and a host.
Is there an age limit for tastings and tours?
Yes. Everyone taking part in a wine tasting, winery tour or other wine experience at Yalumba must be 18 or older, in line with Australian alcohol laws.
Can we order food with our tasting?
Yes. Platters of local cheese, charcuterie and other produce can be paired with a tasting flight, and a Tasting Flight and Cooper's Platter for two is sold as a set for $70.
How long should we allow for a visit?
Most seated tastings take 45 to 60 minutes, and each booked table is held for about an hour. The cooperage tour runs roughly an hour, Yalumba Unlocked about two hours and the Signature Tour around four.
Do we need to book, or can we walk in?
Walk-ins are welcome when tables are free, but bookings are strongly recommended. Group visits and tours should be booked ahead so the experience can be prepared before you arrive.

Excellent wines and excellent place to spend a few hours. Beautiful grounds and friendly staff too. The outdoor area is especially nice but even on a rainy day would be nice to sit indoors and sip. The platters are ex…
