Chapel Hill Winery, located in McLaren Vale, South Australia, is a historic winery built on the site of the Seaview Chapel and schoolhouse, dating back to 1865. The original ironstone chapel, once a place of worship and education, now serves as the iconic tasting room, blending history, craftsmanship, and winemaking excellence.

The vineyard was established in 1972, with the first vintage produced in 1975. Nestled on the edge of the Onkaparinga Gorge, Chapel Hill benefits from shallow rocky soils, which contribute to the depth and complexity of its wines. The winery produces a diverse range of wines, including lighter styles, complex whites, rosé, red blends, full-bodied reds, and fortified wines.

Visitors can experience Chapel Hill’s Tasting Room, where they are welcomed into a 150-year-old chapel overlooking McLaren Vale. The winery offers seasonal tasting flights, allowing guests to explore its rich portfolio in a setting that celebrates heritage and art.

Beyond wine, Chapel Hill hosts The Retreat, a purpose-built venue for weddings, corporate events, and wellness retreats. The space is private and secluded, offering stunning views and luxurious accommodations for up to 14 guests.

Chapel Hill also fosters a community of wine lovers through The Vicar’s Important People (VIP) Wine Club, providing members with exclusive benefits, rewards, and access to imaginative winemaking.

With a commitment to sustainable viticulture, Chapel Hill Winery continues to honor its rich heritage while embracing modern innovation, making it a must-visit destination in McLaren Vale.
