It is a rare destination where 19th-century charm meets modern architectural elegance. Your journey begins in the original 1844 bluestone cellars. As you wander through these historic underground tunnels, you’ll uncover the legacy of vision and persistence that led to the creation of the world-famous Grange. The experience is centred around a curated tasting flight of six signature wines, each meticulously crafted to showcase the artistry and heritage that Penfolds is known for globally. Beyond the glass, you are invited to explore the picturesque grounds. Whether you are a dedicated connoisseur or a curious traveller, a visit to Magill Estate offers an intimate glimpse into the very heart of Australian winemaking.
