Our cellar door of the month is the award-winning and family-owned Bremerton Wines, in the Langhorne Creek wine region. Bremerton’s new tasting room sits alongside their historic 1866 barn.

The $1 million investment into Bremerton Wines, established by the Willson family over 35 years ago - was built and partially designed by another local family-owned Adelaide company Kennett Builders.

Bremerton Wines is run by the second-generation, award-winning Winemaker Rebecca Willson and Lucy Willson and is the first sister-run winery in Australia.

Only a 45 minute drive from Adelaide or 35 minutes from the South Coast, along with the tasting room, there is a beautiful outdoor area with more seating, which gives visitors a chance to enjoy a glass of wine or local produce platters on the verandah overlooking the lawn or sit on a picnic rug or bean bag

The historic restored 1866 barn, which has been the cellar door and tasting area for over 26 years, continues to be used for indoor dining, serving their popular lunch menu, including pizza and shared platters, all using delicious local produce. The upstairs space will continue to showcase local artists with the exhibitions changing every six weeks.

Visitors to the winery will enter over stairs, down the recycled timber arbour, through big, double timber doors, to find a large, spacious and interactive tasting room which will hero Bremerton wines through a number of tasting experiences.

They chose materials for the new tasting room and extension that were sustainably sourced, recycled, and repurposed to maintain the integrity, character, and charm of the historic barn building, while also modernising the space for the future.

Bremerton Wines plans to host ‘Lazy Weekend’ sessions in the new comfortable, relaxing space, with chilled live music, food trucks, and a range of beverages, so that visitors can make a day of it.

They also have additional plans that they look forward to unveiling later in the year, which will include exciting developments to the winery and a distillery.

There are a serious number of great wines showcased at Bremerton but the 2020 Grenache is a personal favourite. Grenache is often blended, although Bremerton couldn’t resist showing it as a single varietal.

This wine shows red fruit, cherry, white pepper spice and is flinty with chamois tannins. It’s a juicy, modern example of the varietal – enjoy!
