Tscharke Wines, Marananga

I wish I could give this place more than 5 stars! Are we ever glad we pulled into this cellar door..unassuming from the road, however do yourself a favour and check out their renovated wine venue called The Protagonist. It’s beyond gorgeous!! Not to mention they have phenomenal award-winning organic wines, resident peacocks roaming the grounds and beautiful views. The staff was so welcoming and knowledgeable, and will give you a personalized, one of a kind experience!!! The underground barrel cellar is the coolest place ever. 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼 Highly recommend!!!

I was really torn about putting up this review, only because I feel Tscharke is such an exceptional winery it needs to be kept a secret and protected from the great unwashed 🤣 We arrived at 10.30 and were told that the cellar was full with a tasting and we should return in an hour as it is worth it. We did and it was! One of the most magical scenes to have a wine tasting of some of the most amazing wine I have ever had. Tscharke is run by passionate people making truly exceptional things, from Mark running the tasting, divulging secrets and stories of the Barossa while taking you on a magical journey of taste and expression, all the way to Damien the wine maker and farmer. What an amazing operation dealing in experiences and truly great wine!

This place was amazing!! 😍😍😍 First of all... outside was a house that was imported from Germany and had peacocks roaming around it. Secondly in an unassuming shed was this hidden bar in a cellar! 🤯🤯🤯 The wine was so good and the person that served me and my friend was very lovely. Currently they are renovating the German house into a wine bar and the hidden bar is invite only. 😉 Would recommend buying the Estate Grenache/Mataro. ❤️

What a beautiful place. We went to the new protagonist cellar door. Fabulous renovation. I love that you can either do a formal tasting or just opt to buy a bottle and sit in the garden. We opted for the tasting, not only were the wines super delicious but they were all served in beautiful glasses to match the wine, and the most comfortable chairs (they have thought of everything). I think this will be a regular visit when we are in the Barossa.

One of the best wine tasting experiences! The tasting is actually free but they let you try multiple. The wines are so splendid anyway that we purchased a few! The grounds were delightful, and all the finer details, like changing each glass to suit the particular wine were was a nice touch and allowed for a better tasting experience.
