Bethany Wines is one of the oldest family-run wineries in the Barossa Valley, with a history dating back to 1852 when Johann Gottlob Schrapel planted his first vineyard. For generations, the family focused on grape growing before brothers Robert and Geoff Schrapel established the winery in 1981, using old-vine Shiraz and Grenache to create wines that reflect the region’s rich heritage. Today, the winery remains family-owned, with a commitment to sustainable viticulture and passing the land on to future generations in even better condition.
Known for its elegant reds, Bethany Wines produces a range of Shiraz, Grenache, and Riesling, with fruit sourced from some of the oldest vines in the Barossa. The wines highlight the depth and complexity that come from these historic vineyards, while a focus on small-batch winemaking ensures every vintage tells the story of the land and the season.
The Cellar Door at Bethany Wines offers a relaxed and welcoming setting with panoramic views of the Barossa. Guests can choose from guided tastings of the Blue Quarry range or the First Village series, which features both red and white wines. The tastings provide an opportunity to explore the winery’s diverse styles, with staff on hand to share insights into the history and winemaking process.
For those looking to enjoy local Barossa produce alongside their wines, cheese and picnic platters are available, featuring regional specialties such as Barossa Valley cheeses, olives, and cured meats. Visitors can choose to enjoy their tasting and platters on-site or request takeaway options.
