What to expect

Our 5 hour wine experience includes a History Tour, Art Trail, Vineyard Walk, a sample of 8 of our wines including a Welcome Sparkling and Reserve Range wines. Your tour concludes with a special 3 course lunch and a winery helicopter ride.

The 1837 Barossa winery holds a rich historical presence. It commemorates the date on which Colonel William Light, founder of Adelaide and first Surveyor-General of South Australia named the Barossa in December 1837. The Barossa Colonel Light Monument, a life-size bronze monument of Colonel Light on horseback and the iconic Barossa Manor honour the birthplace of Barossa on the estate. A tribute to which 1837 wine makers dedicate their wines year after year.

Upon arrival at 1837 Barossa estate, we will guide you to the Col. Light Monument and you can enjoy the full 360-degree views from the historic point. You will be able to walk the art trail which allows you to take pictures of the many colourful sculptures which includes the "Wings of Barossa" where you can pose as an angel between two giant wings that overlook the vineyards.

At 1837 Barossa Pavilion, you will be welcomed with a glass of our reserve sparkling wine. A movie about the naming of the Barossa and the history of Colonel William Light will be followed by guided vineyard walk where you learn all about grape growing and its terroir. If seasons permit, you will be able to sample some grapes. Back in the exclusive Pavilion you will receive an introduction in winemaking and you will learn how to taste wine like a professional. The wine experience will then be crowned by a tasting of 8 wines, which will include the reserve range.

After a comprehensive wine experience, you will be guided to Horizon@1837 Restaurant on the picturesque estate. The restaurant boasts a spectacular view over the Barossa and a staff will seat you at the best place in the house (weather depending) where you can sip and graze the day away!

After lunch you will transfer to our helipad. Sit back and enjoy a 10 minutes helicopter flight as Barossa Helicopter will take you past the quaint town of Lyndoch, capturing a perfect view of the idyllic Southern Barossa Ranges. It's time to relax and take in the gorgeous sights and surrounds. We will land again on the 1837 Barossa helipad at the end of the experience.

On the way out you will have a chance to take some final pictures from the supersized baroque picture frame allowing you to pose with fantastic views of the Barossa Valley and Range in the background or you can take a picture of yourself in front of the iconic 12m long colourful BAROSSA sign; a beautiful memory of the Barossa to share with family and friends.

Learn from our expert and after this experience, you can tell who is telling you the truth about wines. Join us for this "must of the Barossa" experience! You will NOT be disappointed.
