The Peter Franz Fine Art Gallery was purpose built by Peter himself to showcase both his passion for photography and to provide a venue to showcase fine art within the Barossa Valley region. The gallery has been constructed to complement the German heritage and era in which it is set. The gallery brings together the old and the new beautifully. While retaining its traditional charm on the outside the interior is modern and fresh. The gallery has frequently updated group exhibitions promoting high quality artworks created by South Australian artists. We specialise in featuring fine art from a wide range of mediums including paintings, ceramics, sculpture, drawings, photography, glass works, jewellery and textiles. The Peter Franz Fine Art Gallery is surrounded by high quality restaurants, beautiful lawns and famous wineries. Come for a browse, grab a coffee or lunch, visit a winery or two and make a day of it!

At Kellermesiter we've been hand crafting wines at our boutique winery nestled in the hills of the beautiful Barossa Valley for a long time now. It all began in the late 1970s as Ralph and Val Jones sat with gum boots on, ankle deep in water, labouring tirelessly into the night together. Their aim was to produce small batch wines of unique character and today Kellermeister stands amongst the top-rated wineries in Australia. We invite you to visit us and discover the magic of Kellermeister, from our famous mud brick cellar door through to the stunning views over the beautiful Barossa Valley - the unique interest and pleasure of our wines won't be the only thing to take your breath away.

Nowhere is patience and passion more in evidence than at Tenafeate Creek Wines. Tenafeate Creek Wines is a boutique winery in the One Tree Hill region and produces wines with distinctive regional character. Their wines represent an elegant yet powerful fruit-driven style and rank with the best in Australia, thanks to the unique Mediterranean macro-climate of cool, long temperate summers. The winemaking philosophy of Tenafeate Creek Wines is to represent the region's unique soil, climate and altitude. The red wines are sourced from low yielding vineyards in One Tree Hill and made in the traditional method, using small open top fermentors, a basket press and the influence of minimal oak for maturation to enhance the essence of the vineyard. With a breathtaking location on the ridge, bold and adventurous wines are being handmade and crafted, such as Italian varieties including nebbiolo and sangiovese, as well as the region's flagship varieties which include shiraz, cabernet sauvignon, grenache and merlot. Tenafeate Creek has a diverse range of wines to suit all palates, including medium-full bodied reds, whites, rose style, sparklings and fortified wines.
A small boutique producer of dry red and fortified wines, Dutschke Wines concentrates on using grapes grown on the old family block located next to the St. Jakobi Church and from small parcels of fruit taken from growers along Gods Hill Road at Lyndoch. Nearly every grape crushed grows within a three kilometre stretch of dirt south of the winery's front gate. Wayne Dutschke started making wine in 1979 in Australia as well as knocking out a few vintages in Spain and California. In 1990, Wayne formed his own brand called WillowBend producing a blend of Merlot, Shiraz and Cabernet. Interest from the United States in 1998 brought about a name change to Dutschke Wines as well as a few new brands - GHR Neighbours Shiraz, St. Jakobi Shiraz and the reserve wine Oscar Semmler Shiraz. Since their first crush in 1990, Dutschke Wines has strived to make affordable wines of the highest quality that show Wayne's expression of the characteristics of that precious patch of dirt from a precious corner of the Barossa Valley. Although production is small, demand for Dutschke Wines continues to be strong in Australia and abroad. Tastings by appointment only.
