About this business

The Artisans of Barossa are eight small winemakers bought together by a shared commitment to protect and promote the art of small-batch Barossa winemaking. Our Artisans of Barossa are John Duval Wines, Spinifex Wines, Sons of Eden, Lienert Vineyards, Schwarz Wine Co., Purple Hands Wines, Hobbs of Barossa Ranges and Chaffey Bros. Wine Co. Set in the heart of a community of farmers and artisan producers and amongst the vineyards, Artisans of Barossa‘s new home was completed in 2021.

Our light-filled restaurant, Essen, radiates rustic elegance with wide glass doors seamlessly welcoming those quintessential Barossa views of vineyards and rolling hills into our dining space. The well-appointed terrace outside of Essen offers outdoor dining areas, allowing children, and adults alike, to spill onto our spacious lawn area to relax on a bean bag and enjoy the country air.

Essen’s menu features modern Australian dishes using only the freshest regional produce. Curated by our Head Chef, our packages are designed to share as one enjoys a fine bottle of wine with food, showcasing the best of Barossa. Our sleek Wine Room is the ideal place to start your day, with one of our dedicated wine hosts who will take you and your guests on an immersive wine tasting experience. With over 100 wines from our eight independent, family-owned wine producers, our tastings truly illustrate the breadth of Barossa winemaking.
