“The history of the Seppeltsfield Estate is a remarkable story, spanning 174 years.
A national treasure and the greatest showpiece of the Barossa – it is fitting that we look to innovative ways to share this story.
The Self-Guided History Experience allows visitors to do just this, wander the 420 acre Estate and immerse yourselves in the historical surroundings whilst listening to the Seppeltsfield story. And best of all, the podcasts can be downloaded via our website.
We are grateful to have the support of the Tourism Industry Council of South Australia (TiCSA) in the form of the Heritage Tourism grant, this was critical in order to make this happen.”
