Old Vine Expressions Tasting Experience – Sydney
DiscoverTranscending cultures and time, wine has always been more than simply a drink – it’s a ritual, a rhythm, a reason to pause. It’s about the slow pour at the end of a day, the quiet swirl in the glass, and the way conversation lingers longer with every sip. Wine invites presence, connecting people, telling stories of soil, season, and time.
Chateau Tanunda brings the heart of the Barossa, Australia’s most famous wine region, to Sydney, offering a space where wine is honoured as both art and experience. Here, it’s not just about tasting — it’s about discovering something deeper: a place where passionate craftmanship, elegance, and old vine character unfold in every glass.
“We went to the cellar during our trip to celebrate New Year’s. We didn’t have time to go outside of the city, so we used this option to taste wines. The tasting was great and the location is nice with restaurants around for dinner afterwards. We did end up buying a few bottles and it was nice to hear all the work that goes into them.”

“This was amazing. We wanted to go on a wine tour, but we did not have enough time (most are all day long). After doing a web search I found the only wine tasting in “the Rocks area”. It was amazing. Old vines and fine wine. It is a great experience!”

”Terrific wine tasting experience of six Chateau Tanunda vintages in the heart of the historic alleyways of The Rocks. Our host was fantastic, very knowledgeable and interesting if you are new to Aussie wines. Loved the experience! Highly recommended.”

“Perfect little treat for an anniversary date! We indulged in the old vine expressions tasting. We were served by Jack who was extremely knowledgeable, hospitable and fun. The experience led to wanting to take some bottles home! We will be back!”
