Established in 1896, Horndale Distillery & Wine Cellars is one of the oldest vineyards/wineries in South Australia, owned and operated since 1984 by the Albrecht family. One acre of the original vineyard remains - planted with red Frontignac grapes. These grapes are used to make Horndale’s feature wine Old Horndale Brandy Wood Frontignac. In addition to this small crush, additional grapes are purchased from premium grape growing areas such as McLaren Vale and Langhorne Creek.
Phil & Nolleen Albrecht are the second generation owners with first gen`er, Jean, still happy to pour a sample for visitors and locals alike.
Our Cellar Door is open for purchases but please wear a mask upon entry. Some tastings are available but please call prior to your visit to confirm. We can also offer phone and online orders too;
Visited the cellar door on a recommendation from a friend and wasn't disappointed. Greeted and looked after by Phil who provided great, friendly service. Tried a few of their liqueur tawny and bought the choc orange which was our favourite. Also picked up a few bottles of wine at a very reasonable price. A great experience - we'll be back.
Beautiful red wines and delicious food. I had been wanting to visit this winery for many years since my friend gave me a few cases. I finally got to visit this weekend and loved it!
Can not recommend this place more! I hired the venue for my 30th and it was great. Staff were friendly, flexible and very accommodating. All my guests kept telling me how lovely Phil was behind the bar. With lots of tastings of port people also enjoyed buying a bottle to take home. The food was amazing and never seemed to stop coming. An amazing relaxed night. Thankyou to Phil and everyone at horndale!
