Ultimate Winery Experiences Australia

Perfect winter's day at Penfolds

Penfolds is a wonderful asset to our Ultimate winery Experiences collective and the perfect venue for a winter's day out.

Penfolds' spiritual home at Magill Estate is intrinsically linked to its beginnings in 1844. One of the world’s few urban vineyards, fruit is still harvested annually on site for the Magill Estate Shiraz and select parcels are considered for Grange. From the picturesque location in the Adelaide Hills overlooking the vineyards and the city, to world class food offering – there is much to explore.

Enjoy an espresso at Magill Estate Kitchen; visit the underground tunnels where Penfolds first Chief Winemaker Max Schubert hid the early vintages of Grange; explore the historic original homestead of Christopher and Mary Penfold; dine at one of Australia’s most revered restaurants; and of course, taste the collection of esteemed wines at the Cellar Door.
