The Cellar Door

The house that makes up our cellar door and Robert’s residence dates back to when the Clare Valley was first settled, and has been the home of a number of local identities over the years. Adolf Glaetzer was one of these residents, known best in the Clare Valley for his fresh fruit and vegetables rather than winemaking, though his descendants have made the Glaetzer name synonymous with Australian winemaking via John and Colin Glaetzer, both based in the nearby Barossa Valley. Robert purchased the house from members of the Glaetzer family, some of whom still visit us from time to time. The house is heritage listed, with the oldest sections dating back to 1849.
