WELLAND

A boutique Winery and Cellar Door in the Barossa

Wine Tasting at WELLAND

Welland is a historic Barossa vineyard given a new lease on life. Located in Barossa Valley, this century-old vineyard in Nuriootpa was planted in 1923 by one of the region’s founding families, the Kriegs. Once part of a much larger vineyard and orchard, Welland is the last remaining section of this original landscape, saved from redevelopment in 2017 by a group of friends passionate about preserving Barossa’s heritage.

Producing rich, intensely flavoured Shiraz, Welland has supplied premium fruit to some of the Barossa’s most well-known wineries, including Penfolds and Peter Lehmann. Today, these old vines continue to thrive under new ownership, crafting a range of wines that honour the site’s history and unique terroir. With restored trellising, careful irrigation, and a commitment to traditional viticulture, Welland wines are a true expression of the Barossa’s past and future.
