Nearly 50 new cellar door experiences across SA
South Australian tourists can enjoy more new and unique cellar door experiences with 47 projects across the state sharing in more than $200,000 in Marshall Liberal Government funding.
Unique funded projects include interactive wine experiences in the Adelaide Hills, wine barrel tasting pods in McLaren Vale, grapevine charcoal drawing workshops in the Barossa and an audio-visual wine tasting experience in the Clare Valley.
Minister for Primary Industries and Regional Development David Basham said wineries thought outside the square to build their tourism and hospitality offering in accessing the ‘Unique Wine Experiences Fund Grant Program’.

In an extraordinary result, South Australian winemakers have taken home three of the six national trophies, including the top title, the 2021 Young Gun of Wine.
Sam Berketa of Alpha Box and Dice, Dan Graham of Sigurd, and Charlotte Hardy of Charlotte Dalton Wines have claimed top titles this year.
Hardy has taken home the top title being named the 2021 Young Gun of Wine, while Berketa took home the People’s Choice Award, and Graham was presented with the Winemaker’s Choice Award.
Charlotte Hardy’s Charlotte Dalton wines were launched from the 2015 vintage, a Semillon and a Shiraz made in an unfussed lo-fi way. But these weren’t your classic new wave wines from Basket Range (Adelaide Hills).
