Jacob's Creek - Experience the Barossa!
Jacob’s Creek’s legacy began in 1847 when Johann Gramp, a Bavarian immigrant, planted Barossa Valley’s first commercial vineyard along the creek’s banks.
His pioneering spirit aimed to craft wines that authentically reflect the land’s terroir—a philosophy still guiding our winemaking today.
Jacob’s Creek distinguishes itself through heritage-driven winemaking, sustainability leadership, and distinctive stylistic approaches that set it apart from other Australian wines.
By blending tradition with sustainability and stylistic integrity, Jacob’s Creek offers a distinctive Australian wine experience that balances accessibility with authenticity.
The Visitor Centre in Rowland Flat, Barossa Valley, features the original Jacob cottage and offers vineyard tours, wine tastings, and dining at the award-winning Jacob’s Restaurant
Our South Australian winery and 100% of owned Jacob’s Creek vineyards are certified under Sustainable Winemaking Australia. We’re partnering with growers to achieve full sustainability certification by 2030, ensuring every grape meets rigorous environmental standards for biodiversity, soil health, water stewardship, and energy efficiency. Jacob’s Creek revolutionized accessible wine with its 1973 Claret (a Shiraz-Cabernet-Malbec blend), designed as a fruit-forward, affordable red. This wine became a global phenomenon, growing from 18,000 cases in its first year to 150,000 within a decade.Under Chief Winemaker Dan Swincer (since 2018), the focus remains on democratizing high-quality wines through accessible pricing and varietal clarity.The team emphasizes sustainability and innovation, blending traditional techniques with modern styles like chillable reds and barrel-finished wines.
