Seppeltsfield in South Australia’s Barossa Valley is the only winery in the world with a collection of Para Tawny that dates back to 1878. Now, the winery is hosting exclusive birth year tastings in their Centennial Cellar. It’s an experience that’s sure to delight oenophiles, gourmands and travel lovers alike.

The Taste Your Birth Year tour offers visitors a chance to try a wine that’s as old (or young) as you are. Sip your birth year vintage tawny direct from the barrel, while learning more about the cellar and the vineyard from one of the Seppeltsfield wine educators.

For those located interstate, overseas or with a preference to stick closer to home, the winery can bring the experience to you. They will ship the birth year vintage to wherever in the world you happen to be celebrating, in a beautifully personalised wooden jarrah gift box.

The tour is one of the Barossa Valley’s most unique and exclusive wine experiences, and with spots even more limited than normal due to physical distancing requirements, bookings are essential with a capital E. The Seppeltsfield Barossa Centennial Cellar is a unique system of maturing single barrels of vintage tawny for one hundred years prior to release. The tradition of laying down a barrel of the finest wine from each vintage has been done each year since the first barrel in 1878, and it continues even today.

The Taste Your Birth Year Tour takes around 30 minutes and is priced at $99.00. Bookings are incredibly limited and absolutely essential, so to reserve your spot, visit seppeltsfield.com.au/taste-your-birth-year-tour/
