Horndale Distillery and Wine Cellars 41-45 Fraser Avenue, Happy Valley, South Australia 5159
About the Business
Welcome to Horndale Distillery & Wine Cellars, located in the picturesque Happy Valley on Fraser Avenue. Established in 1896, we are proud to be one of the oldest vineyards and wineries in South Australia. Since 1984, the Albrecht family has owned and operated our institution, preserving its rich history and tradition.
Nestled on one acre of the original vineyard, we proudly cultivate red Frontignac grapes, which are used to create our signature wine, the Old Horndale Brandy Wood Frontignac. This exquisite wine embodies the essence of our heritage and craftsmanship. Additionally, we source grapes from renowned grape growing regions such as McLaren Vale and Langhorne Creek to ensure the highest quality in all our wines.
When you visit our establishment, you will be greeted by Phil and Nolleen Albrecht, the second-generation owners, with the first-generation, Jean, still happily pouring samples for visitors and locals alike. Our family's passion for winemaking and dedication to hospitality shines through in every interaction.
We invite you to explore our Cellar Door, where you can purchase our exceptional wines. Please remember to wear a mask upon entry, as we prioritize the safety and well-being of our valued customers. While some tastings are available, we recommend calling ahead to confirm availability. For your convenience, we also offer phone and online orders, ensuring you can enjoy our wines from the comfort of your own home.
Please note that we will be closed from the 25th to the 27th of December for the Christmas holidays. We will reopen on Tuesday the 28th, ready to welcome you with open arms. If we don't have the pleasure of seeing you before then, we wish you a safe and merry Christmas.
Experience the legacy, taste the craftsmanship, and indulge in the rich flavors of Horndale Distillery & Wine Cellars. Join us in celebrating over a century of winemaking excellence in the heart of Australia.

"A great family run winery. The Friday night bistro is a must both for the food and the charming atmosphere. Phil and the team really look after you. And of course, the wine is amazing!"
"Lovely family business, great wines and Friday night dinners are down to earth and great quality food. Lovely hosts also."
"Love their wine and really love their ports!! The selection of port and the option to buy full port barrels straight from the winery is fantastic. Service is great by all, always provide a great experience and wonderful advice."
"Go and see the owner Phil , he will look after you. I bought a 14 litre wooden Barrel of whisky barrel port and have been back to refill it. A lot of my mate's love it and to my surprise there girlfriends really like it as well. Please try the chocolate port and cherry port. You get to have a tasting as well before you buy. There is Friday night dining and functions on Saturday night. Give it a go ! Very good price's as well."
"After such good reviews we just had to visit here and wow we were pretty impressed! Not sure how long it will take us to get through all our purchases but with easy phone orders and shipping we'll be enjoying for a while."
