It’s unpretentious and warm, a place for gathering and sharing.
“We love that we can showcase all of our family brands in the one place because it allows our guests to really immerse themselves in learning about us and all our family stories,” she says.
“Wine can sometimes be a little bit intimidating for some people, so we wanted to create an experience where people can feel really at home and at ease learning about our wines.
“Our cellar door hosts focus on using everyday language to educate our guests so that they leave knowing a little bit more about wine in general than when they arrived.”
Winemaker, Trent, 36, is the family storyteller.
Out with growers or on the road, he’s passionate about the Barossa and bringing to light this special part of the world, one of the reasons Barossa produce also forms part of Underground’s tasting experience.
“We pair all of our wines to a delicious snack that brings out the best flavours of the wines,” he explains.
“After all, that is a more realistic representation of how we enjoy wine outside a cellar door situation.
“The Barossa has so many wonderful food producers so why not celebrate that?”
Barossa Boy is Trent’s “passion project”, founded by the down-to-earth boy who grew up with “dirt under his fingernails and Barossa blood in his veins”.
