About this tour
Spend 90 minutes exploring Elderton's wine heritage in the Barossa Valley. This intimate tasting takes you through the winery's restoration story, from its 120-year-old Command vineyard to the cellar. You'll sample current releases and aged vintages in a private setting, paired with local cheeses. Ideal for those wanting to understand the people and place behind the bottle rather than rushing through a standard cellar door visit.

What to expect
You'll start with an introduction to Elderton's family story and the vineyard restoration that saved Command from ruin. The tasting itself happens in the Private Tasting Room, where you'll work through several wines, comparing how the same varieties taste across different years. This shows you how vintage variation and cellar time shape flavour. Cheese pairings arrive as you go. The pace is slower than a standard tasting—there's time for questions and real conversation about what you're drinking.
