Had a great experience at Langmeil Winery and highly recommend the wine tour. I learnt so much about our South Australian history, the origins of the Barossa Valley and the grape vines. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and a wealth of information. We enjoyed some beautiful wines in the old cellar and will definitely look out for Langmeil wines in the future.

Really great winery with exceptional wines. We stopped in for a tasting and had a great time. The cellar door host was friendly and took the time to get to know us. She explained the wines and the history of the winery and some of their very old vines. The grounds and old buildings are great to look at as well.

So many positives about this place. The setting is beautiful, with old cottages, vineyards and manicured gardens. It is conveniently located in the north of Tanunda and we walked here from our hotel.
The staff could not have been more welcoming, knowledgeable and friendly and gave us incredible service.
The range of wines are very tasty (although we only tried the reds).
Definitely worth a stop. We'll be back!

Some wineries you get to try a couple of their list, maybe even more every now and again.
At Langmeil you can try 16+ of their delicious wines, all for freesies*
Personally, their bigger wines - Cab Sauvs and Shiraz - are not the best Barossa has to offer, but where Langmeil really kick their goals are in the lighter varietals. Their Barbera, Grenache, Tannat are all exceptional - the highlight being the Three Gardens SMG blend that really showcases their strength (and for a total bargain price too). I'm not the world's biggest port fan, but those in our party that were swooned at their

This is not the first time I've visited Langmeil winery, and I certainly hope it won't be the last! This place has a great rustic charm about it. Surrounded by the Northern end of the township of Tanunda on one side, and sweeping vines and the North Para river on the other, this family run vineyard and cellar door are an absolute must if you visit the Barossa Valley.
Check the website for a more detailed, professional rundown on the wines. I will just say that I enjoyed all of the wines we tasted, in particular the Orphan Bank Shiraz. The Freedom shiraz is not available for tasting

We toured thirteen Barossa Valley wineries over two and a half days. None served bad wine. I rated them on the quality of the wines, the breadth of selection, the setting of the winery (outside views and/or inside decor), and service. Note that sometimes service can be a function of how busy they were.
This winery rated 8th of the 13. On a five point scale, they were:
Wine Quality - 5
Wine Selection - 4
Setting - 2
Service - 3
I bought their Valley Floor Shiraz.

When people asked why I decided to make Adelaide part of my epic journey around Australia, I often reply with one word: Barossa. Langmeil was a great part of my tasting day in this lovely part of SA.
I can recommend one particular bottle which traveled with me from SA to WA, to NT, to QLD, to TAZ, and to NSW before coming home to the US. That's how much I liked it - the Three Gardens SMG. It has this delicious peppery taste (part of which comes from blending three grapes) that I just really wanted my friends back home to taste.
Also, the staff here is absolutely a riot and a great time

This is as good as it gets in the Barossa.
We had a fantastic stop at Langmeil on our day-long wine tour through the region. Wine tasting in Aus is so different from home (Napa Valley), in that the wineries want you to taste all they have to offer. Unlike California where you may try one red, one white, and one bubbly, all for a hefty fee, the Barossa tastings are free of charge, though you are strongly encouraged to purchase...which is easy since the wines are so delicious! Between three of us, we were able to cover most of their entire offering. Fantastic!
Walked away with a couple bottles
