A Rich History and Exquisite Location
Longview Vineyards is a stunning family-owned Australian vineyard located just outside the historic township of Macclesfield in the Adelaide Hills. With undulating slopes reminiscent of old-world estates, Longview combines its unmistakably Australian charm with a touch of elegance. Since its inaugural vintage in 2001, the vineyard has quickly earned a reputation as one of the most awarded vineyards in the region.
An Enchanting Landscape
Surrounded by perfectly manicured vines, towering gum trees, gently undulating hills, and expansive blue skies, Longview Vineyard offers a picturesque backdrop for a memorable wine experience. The lush foliage, landscaped gardens, and rural-chic architecture seamlessly blend with the quintessential Australian landscape. It's an idyllic setting that captures the essence of Longview's winemaking journey.
Single-Vineyard Excellence
Originally a dairy for most of the 20th century, Longview has transformed into a renowned winery, producing an exciting portfolio of wines. Each wine in their award-winning range is crafted from grapes grown exclusively in their single-vineyard estate. The valley landscape plays a vital role, with red varietals flourishing on the northern slopes for consistent ripening, while white varietals thrive on the southern side, benefiting from the cooler aspect that preserves their acidity.
Location and Climate
Situated on the South Eastern Ridge of the Mt Lofty Ranges, Longview Vineyards enjoys an elevated position, reaching its highest point at 410 meters above sea level. From this vantage point, visitors can relish the breathtaking "long view" stretching towards the Southern Ocean and Lake Alexandrina. This southern location grants Longview slightly higher temperatures than the rest of the Adelaide Hills, while the altitude ensures a true cool-climate environment. The warm days of summer are balanced by cool winds from the southern waters, resulting in a unique diurnal range that imparts a remarkable breadth of flavours to the grapes.
The Cellar Door Experience
Central to the Longview experience is their Cellar Door and kitchen, which showcases modern rural style and solidifies Longview Vineyard as a must-visit destination on the Adelaide Hills food and wine trail. The building, formed from the original 1918 cottage made of local pink sandstone, reflects the surrounding rusted ironstone and quartz soils. Recycled timber and steel, street art, a vaulting roof-line, and floor-to-ceiling glass create a dramatic tasting room that echoes the sweep of the hills. Guests can indulge in premium or casual wine tastings while enjoying an ever-evolving menu of prime local produce. Whether relaxing on the deck or warming up by the fire, the Cellar Door promises a truly memorable experience.
