Fodor's Expert Review Seppelt Great Western Winery

This old winery is also one of Australia's most famous, the name Great Western being associated with a long-lived sparkling wine and known for its the Salinger and Fleur de Lys ranges as well as a sparkling Shiraz and various table wines. Beneath the winery is a 3-km (2-mile) underground labyrinth of tunnels, known as the Drives, dating back to 1868 and originally built by gold miners. This is where the best sparkling wines are kept. You can take a day tour of these tunnels and the nearby shaft house and taste 20 Seppelt wines, or enjoy a barbecue and evening tour. Packages to tour and dine in the Drives, including cheese platters, two or three courses, and wine tastings, are also available from A$120 per person. The barbecue and dining options require a minimum of 15 people.
