About Cellar Door Odyssey
|
Hopefully you will enjoy all of the cellar doors we have recommended, but we accept no responsibility if you don’t. You will need to check opening times and conditions for yourselves. Cellar doors are constantly changing and so the CellarDoorOdyssey accepts no responsibility if you find them to be other than as we have described. But you probably won’t, and we're pretty sure that you’ll enjoy them as much as we did.
All images and text on this website are protected by copyright and can only be reproduced with prior permission in writing. CellarDoorOdyssey.au is entirely a hobby website with no financial or other links to any wineries, or anyone in the wine industry. It was set up as a retirement project to preserve some of the useful information we gathered when we set out to visit every winery based cellar door in South Australia. Once they learnt about our hobby, many people would ask for cellar door recommendations: putting them all on here has saved us a lot of time.

The recommendations here reflect our own biases and preferences: if you visit several of our favourites without enjoying any of them then your tastes are probably quite different - and so you can safely ignore the rest of what we’ve written.
We love Chardonnay but have yet to find a Sauvignon Blanc that we really enjoy. Mrs Odyssey cannot drink most red wines, and has to restrict herself to the sparkling, white, rose, fortified and dessert options. For the most part, we prefer smaller, family owned wineries, and enjoy those with a bit of history behind them, or at least an interesting back story. All of this is reflected in our recommendations. Finally, it may not surprise you to learn that we have been satisfied members of Hugh Hamilton’s Black Sheep Club for over a decade. We previously sampled Three others, but left them when this project got underway. The cellar was overflowing and we couldn’t keep up.
