Travelers can explore the vineyards, learn about the winemaking process inside the visitor center, and discover the winery’s own unique coding system, which differentiates the quality of wine using red, yellow, gold, gray, black, and platinum-colored labels. Visitors can also grab a coffee and enjoy an assortment of cakes or a cheese board at the on-site cafe. Book an all-day guided tour from Adelaide to the Barossa Valley to explore some of the vineyards in this famous wine region, including Wolf Blass.
The vineyard’s initial site was situated on Bilyara Road; bilyara is the Aboriginal name for an eaglehawk, which inspired the Wolf Blass icon.
The legal drinking age of 18 applies to all wine tastings.
For the Game of Thrones prequel series, Wolf Blass produced a special wine called House Of The Dragon Fire & Blood Cabernet Shiraz 2021, a blend of cabernet sauvignon and shiraz.
Guided tours of Barossa Valley that depart from Adelaide usually provide roundtrip transportation. If you’re exploring on your own from Adelaide, head north along route M2, which turns into National Highway A20 around Gawler. Wolf Blass is located in Nuriootpa and is about an hour’s drive. You can also reach Barossa via public transit (train and bus), but driving is preferred. Of course, drink responsibly if you’re behind the wheel.
The visitor center is open Wednesday–Sunday, 10am–4:30pm, and closed Mondays and Tuesdays. The best time to visit Barossa Valley is during harvest in the fall (March–May). The weather is usually mild and sunny then, plus the Barossa Vintage Festival occurs during that time.
Because the region boasts the ideal terroir and climate for wine production, Barossa Valley grows a diverse selection of grape varieties, including cabernet sauvignon, Riesling, merlot, and chardonnay. It is home to over 150 wineries and more than 80 cellar doors. It’s best known for its red wines, specifically shiraz.
