What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Visitors consistently praise Seppeltsfield for its stunning scenery, particularly the iconic palm-lined road, and its exceptional wine tasting experiences. The knowledgeable and friendly staff, especially guides like Russell, are frequently mentioned for enhancing the visit. While the premium experiences and dining are highly rated, some find the tasting fees a bit high if not redeeming for purchases.
"I did the luxury wine tasting and it was excellent. We sampled four wines, along with a wine they classed as an “old fashioned,” which was a lovely surprise. The reds were the highlight for me I could have easily walked out with several bottles! Next time, I’ll definitely book into their restaurant, which offers a set four-course menu.
The venue also has a small gin distillery and a wellness centre with handmade soaps and skincare products, which I’d love to explore more on my next visit. The scenery and buildings are beautiful, easy to get to, and the staff were exceptionally friendly and welcoming.
Highly recommend visiting I’ll definitely be going back."

"It was a recommendation from my sister in-law to my wife that we had to visit here with our friends on this trip. This is definitely a beautiful place, we first had a quick bite and the cafe then attended the wine tasting. Our host was Russell and he was magnificent. After I advised him that I don't drink wine so there was only going to be 3x of us tasting wines, he offered their excellent cordial. So it was just my Mrs and our friends going to taste their wines. Myself together with our friends younger son were going to drink the Cordial. I was impressed. The wine tasting went well, we left with 3x bottles and our friends with 2. One of ours was the Cordial. We will def enjoy this."

"A lovely place to try 10/10 wine and walk around. Marcus was knowledgable, kind, and welcoming. Definitely recommend to anyone in the area- worth the drive from Adelaide."
