Winemaker Experiences at Kies Family Wines
2019 was a historic year for Kies Family Wines. Not only did we double our vineyard but we built a state-of-the-art winemaking facility for Winemaker Bronson Kies, exactly 50 years after his Grandfather Ken (founder of Kies Family Wines) began making wine in 1969.
We are now offering an exclusive winemaking experience where you can not only tour this incredible facility, but immerse yourself in the winemaking process, by tasting and comparing wines from the barrel, with Bronson Kies exclusively.
WINERY & BARREL HALL TOUR
Experience the Barossa Valley like a local with our winery and barrel hall tour, tasting and Barossa Valley cheese plate. Tour includes:
STEP ONE:
Meet and greet Bronson Kies (winemaker), at the Kies Family Wines cellar door at 10:15am and enjoy a welcome glass of bubbles.
