Excellent tour of a Barossa icon

5.00After several tastings at some smaller Barossa wineries, booked this tour as this admittedly large commercial winery is one of the oldest in the region and yet remains in family hands. Exceeding expectations - host Steph was very friendly and knowledgeable, and made the experience truly memorable. The tour of the cooperage was a highlight of this experience; apparently this is one of the few wineries in Australia to produce their own barrels, and cooper Kim gave us a great breakdown of the craft that goes into this. The beautiful grounds and historic buildings added to the experience. A good history of founder Samuel Smith and his descendants follows, humbling to realize the hardships and setbacks that the family went through to make this business the Barossa icon that it is now. Very impressed to learn that the winery remains in family hands, rather than having being sold out to corporations like some of their neighbours. A tasting flight of some of the premium wines in the portfolio ends the tour, accompanied by a very good charcuterie/ cheese platter. All in all a great experience, highly recommend as a commercial but still family owned and historic winery tour experience. The cooperage tour makes it unique
Yalumba Unlocked Tour is outstanding.

5.00We were hosted by Kirstie for the Yalumba Unlocked tour. It was worth every cent, and more. The history of this family winery is incredible and the infrastructure that has been developed over 175 years is mind blowing. Then the follow up wine tasting, also hosted by Kirstie was an outstanding experience. We have always loved Yalumba wines and the latest releases are top shelf.
Amazing

5.00Wine Valley Tours has been taking guests to Yalumba for years, and all guests rate it very highly. The staff and settings are World-Class. Great wine tastings are offered, and very well-priced wines are worth collecting. Family-owned and gorgeous settings all year round. All my drivers comment on their visits and great experiences.
Really memorable and enjoyable tour

5.00We loved this tour. We have visited the Barossa several times and have our favourite wineries, but we were seeking something different and enjoyable for a birthday trip. This tour ticked all the boxes: it was genuinely interesting and we learned lots, even though our wonderful tour guide, Helen, had to manage a wide range of pre-existing knowledge amongst the tour participants - and she did that wonderfully. It probably helps if you already know and appreciate Yalumba's Signature red, but that is not essential. The tasting at the tour's conclusion was accompanied by a really generous platter of fabulous local produce. It was an entirely sufficient lunch for us. All up it was a really good value tour, which we would recommend to anyone wanting to have an interesting and enjoyable winery visit.
Well worth the visit

5.00Thank you Amy for your knowledge and enthusiasm about Yalumba Winery and it’s history. Going to the on-site cooperage and meeting Kym and Harper was an excellent experience. Seeing what goes into making wine barrels and talking to Kym was an education. The wine tasting and food platter after the tour just topped everything off. We would heartily recommend the experience.
Loved it!
