Hayes Family Wines is a small, family-run winery in the Barossa Valley, producing organic, sustainable, and vegan-friendly wines. With vineyards dating back to the 1870s, Hayes Family Wines takes a hands-on approach to viticulture, carefully managing their estate and grower vineyards with a focus on quality and environmental responsibility. Their wines showcase classic Barossa varieties, including Shiraz, Grenache, Mataro, and Semillon, crafted with minimal intervention to express the unique character of each vintage.
By embracing traditional and contemporary winemaking techniques, Hayes Family Wines produces wines that drink well on release but also have the potential to age gracefully. Their approach includes extended skin contact, the use of ceramic egg fermenters, and large-format oak, ensuring that the wines maintain purity, balance, and depth of flavour while reflecting the region’s rich winemaking heritage.
The Hayes Family Wines Cellar Door, located in Stone Well, offers a relaxed and welcoming tasting experience. Visitors can sample a range of red, white, and fortified wines while learning about the estate’s organic and sustainable farming practices. The setting provides a true connection to the land, with views of the vineyards that produce the wines on offer.
For those seeking a deeper dive, premium tasting experiences featuring reserve wines and limited-release fortifieds can be arranged by appointment. Guests are invited to enjoy their tasting at the bar or outdoors, soaking in the beauty of the Barossa landscape.
