Your Tawny & Shortbread Itinerary
Experience the Barossa Valley like a local with our hosted Tawny and Shortbread tasting at Kies Family Wines. Tour includes:
Step One: Settle In & Soak Up the Scenery
Begin your Sunday afternoon at 2pm in the Dedication Room at Kies Family Wines — a serene space with sweeping 180° views of the Barossa Ranges, surrounded by the estate’s historic old vines. Let the atmosphere transport you to a place where time slows and tradition reigns.
Step Two: Taste History in a Glass
Savour three rare, aged museum fortifieds — including a Tawny that has rested in the same barrel since 1962. Your wine host will guide you through a 45-minute tasting journey, sharing the rich history of the Barossa Valley and the stories behind each fortified wine. Expect some wines to average over 40 years in age.
Step Three: A Sweet German Pairing
Each fortified wine is paired with a delicate Barossa Country Biscuits shortbread, handcrafted from time-honoured German recipes handed down from local Omas. Featuring traditional treats like almond bread from Eudunda’s German baking heritage, these pairings create the perfect balance of sweetness, spice, and nostalgia.
