Nestled among manicured gardens and framed by a stunning blend of historic and contemporary architecture, Peter Lehmann Wines is one of the Barossa Valley's most picturesque cellar doors and a destination as memorable as the wines poured within it.
Cellar Door & Grounds
THE HEART OF THE GROUNDS
Situated along the banks of the Para River, our cellar door is home to the historic Hoffmann Cellar. One of Barossa Valley's original wineries, built in the 1880s, the cellar was carved into the hillside to harness the natural forces of gravity in winemaking. At its heart, a stunning red gum bar has welcomed visitors from around the world for years, serving as the centrepiece for tasting some of Australia's most awarded Barossa wines.
Beyond the heritage stone building and verandah, the manicured lawns and gardens are where the magic truly happens. You can choose to pull up a seat at a table or bring your own picnic rug to sit beneath the swaying red gums and settle in with a bottle of wine and a Weighbridge platter.
THE WEIGHBRIDGE
Built in 1979, the Weighbridge is where every Peter Lehmann wine begins its journey. Peter Lehmann spent most of his time during vintage here, keeping an eye on the incoming fruit, weighing the grapes and catching up with his grower friends. If the old marble walls of the Weighbridge could talk, they would have a few stories to tell!
“The Weighbridge represents the camaraderie and friendships that exist between Peter Lehmann Wines and the growers. The winery was Peter’s domain, his kingdom and was and still is the common bond of the Barossa. So much has changed over the years but what’s stayed the same is the solidarity and togetherness we all strive for, because we know it makes us stronger.” Mick Anderson, PLW grower and friend.
