The Great Grange Magill Estate Winery Tour - PME03
Tour operator : Penfolds Magill Estate Winery
Just 15 minutes from the Adelaide city centre is one of the world's most exclusive wine experiences. Penfolds Magill Estate Winery was founded in 1844 by Dr Christopher Rawson Penfold, is the spiritual and historical home of Australia's most famous wine, Penfolds Grange, and now we give you the opportunity to be a part of history by enjoying the unique 'Great Grange Tour'.
Over two hours, you will immerse yourself in the history, philosophy and spirit that makes Penfolds wines considered to be some of the world's best. The tour begins with a walk through the historic winery, including the Vintage Cellar (still in use today making wine in the traditional way), and the Underground Maturation Cellars, where our wine filled oak barrels sit patiently, gently maturing, in wait for bottling.
Also included is a visit to Grange Cottage, name after Mrs Mary Penfold's childhood home and nestled comfortably in the Estate's 12 acres of 60 year old Shiraz vines. As the Penfold family's original home, Grange Cottage was the inspiration for the wine created by Max Schubert in the 1950's and offers a fascinating glimpse into Adelaide's early colonial years.
Following the tour through the Estate, our Wine Education team will lead you through an exclusive tasting of six Penfolds super premium wines, including the iconic Penfolds Grange. To complement the wines, as tasting platter of local, and regional cheeses, is available.
The tour concludes in the historic Still House, now the Penfolds Magill Estate Cellar Door, with a barrel tasting of Penfolds Bluestone Tawny. Whether you are a devotee of Penfolds or just beginning to explore the world of wine, our 'Great Grange Tour' offers a unique journey through one of the world's most celebrated wineries.
Operates: Every first and third Sunday of the month, subject to availability.
