Our story is one of making the bold move of buying a vineyard (Col did this without telling his wife, Fiona), 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 amazing 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.  A 3-course Mid-week lunch option has been added 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.  A real hidden gem in the Barossa Ranges, just 10 minutes from both Angaston and Tanunda. 

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