Our story is one of making the bold move of buying a vineyard (Col did this without telling anyone), moving interstate, changing career paths, and building a space to share our passion for this beautiful region and the world-class wine & food it produces. 

The property consists of Riesling, Shiraz & Semillon, all planted around 1929.  We also purchase fruit from like-minded growers nearby to add to the line-up of wines available.  Colin now makes the wine onsite except the Riesling.  

Over time, Colin’s first career as a builder has come in very handy at Flaxman. He has built a cellar door, outdoor kitchen, pergola, and pizza oven.  Once a month, Col puts his cooking hat on and produces a five-course degustation of beautiful food, which showcases some of the Barossa and South Australia's fantastic produce.  It's a beautiful day of kicking back and being spoilt with lovely food and wine and all enjoyed while sitting at the long table overlooking the vineyard.  In 2022 we are also adding a 3-course Mid-week lunch option to the mix for a minimum of 4 to 6 people max, on Tuesday to Friday - Bookings are essential, and 48 hours notice is required.   

Join us and experience some genuine Barossan hospitality amongst the vines. 

Go on. You know you want to............
