“We have spent a great deal of time working with the cellar door team at Taylors to get a deep understanding of how they would like to use the space, enhance their cellar door offering, and function as a tourist site to create a unique build that compliments the existing heritage homestead on site.”
South Australian family winery Taylors Wines has announced an ambitious multi-million dollar project to construct a new cellar door at its Clare Valley estate, with preparations now underway for the winery’s elevated guest experience set to open in April 2023.
The project team selected for the new build have a wealth of experience working with exceptional hospitality, tourism, and cellar door venues across South Australia.
“Our cellar door is a fantastic place to showcase our world-renowned wines, but we have plenty of room to grow, and this exciting next step will mean that yet more guests can experience the Clare Valley and our award-winning wines.
“This is an exciting project which will breathe new life into an already beautiful existing space on the Taylors property – it’s something we are passionate about working on,” Kristina Soggee, Senior Project Architect from GP Architects, said. The renowned Clare Valley winemakers will relocate the current cellar door offering to a brand new building adjacent to the original homestead located on the grassy lawns of the property, south of the winery’s famous battlement facade of its operational facilities.
To bring this exciting project to life, Taylors has called upon South Australia-based experts GP Architects, Cook Building and Georgie Shepherd Interior Design in what will be the first major upgrade or change to the Taylors cellar door experience in over 50 years.
Cook Building is responsible for the new Taylors build and brings their experience working with Hewitson Winery, Hardys Tintara, and 2KW Bar & Restaurant to this exciting project. Georgie Shepherd Interior Design, who recently completed projects for Aurora Restaurant, Bar Lune, and Angove Cellar Door, will complete the space’s interior design.
More information regarding further developments in the design and construction of Taylors’ new cellar door will be revealed in the coming months. The build and interiors team we’ve assembled has done an incredible job at capturing what we want guests to experience when they visit Taylors Wines.”
While site preparation is currently underway, Taylors aims to have the project complete by April 2023.
“The Clare Valley has quickly become a feature region for travellers looking to immerse themselves in gourmet food and wine experiences. Producers in the area have stepped up to deliver world-class facilities to meet that demand,” Taylors Wines third-generation Winemaker & Managing Director Mitchell Taylor said.
