Throughout a guided tour we showcase to guests the behind-the-scenes intricacies of how a wine is crafted by the winemaker - our guests get to go where most wineries do not allow. At Shottesbrooke, guests can expect hands-on sensory experiences, barrel and finished wine tastings, and amazing opportunities to view our working winery operations up close. Our tour is followed by sparkling on arrival and an incredible three-course dining experience at The Currant Shed. The Currant Shed's culinary team brings many years of experience to their kitchen. With varied experience across many regions around the world, they have the remarkable ability to translate the flavours of the land directly onto the plate using some of the Fleurieu, and South Australia's best produce, sourced from a raft of local suppliers. Each dish is handcrafted and has its own individual story.
