Artisans of Barossa | The Finest | Wine Lounge Tasting

In the heart of the Barossa Valley, Artisans of Barossa introduces “The Finest” – an exclusive guided tasting experience that epitomizes excellence. Limited to a select few on Sundays, it’s a tribute to the small-batch producers who comprise the essence of Artisans of Barossa. The Artisans of Barossa are John Duval Wines, Spinifex Wines, Sons of Eden, Lienert Vineyards, Schwarz Wine Co., Purple Hands Wines, Hobbs of Barossa Ranges and Chaffey Bros. Wine Co. Eight small winemakers brought together by a shared commitment to protect and promote the art of small-batch Barossa winemaking.

Upon entering the wine lounge, visitors are welcomed by an atmosphere that marries modern sophistication with expansive views of the region. It’s an environment that sets the stage for an exceptional vinous journey, an ode to the art of winemaking. At the core of “The Finest” is a curated selection of wines that define the pinnacle of small-batch winemaking, born of unwavering dedication to the craft. Each bottle represents the individual stories and creative visions of the Artisans. Example wines from The Finest are: John Duval Wines 'Integro’ 2017 and Sons of Eden 'Autumnus' 2016. The journey commences under the expert guidance of seasoned staff, well-versed in the nuances of Barossa’s diverse terroirs and the visionary winemakers behind the labels. As the tasting unfolds, the stories of the region’s terroir, climate, and the winemakers’ fervour are unveiled, sip by sip. From classic Shiraz, steeped in Barossa’s rich history, to contemporary styles and emerging varietals that mirror modern Barossa, each wine in this collection tells a narrative that is as unique as it is captivating.

Set within the light-filled atrium of Artisans of Barossa, the lounge provides a breathtaking panorama of the Barossa Valley. Vast vineyards, impeccably nurtured, extend to the horizon. In the distance, the Barossa Ranges rise, casting a dramatic silhouette against the serene vineyards. They are a constant reminder of the enduring presence of nature in the ever-evolving world of winemaking. Beyond the Ranges lies Eden Valley, though it may not be immediately visible from this vantage point. Its contribution adds richness and diversity to the Barossa’s winemaking heritage.
