Discover Gomersal

Discover Gomersal through a range of experiences: the small town’s wine history and a specific wine-and-cheese flight offer options for food-focused days. If you would rather include a route in your travel plans, the 11 km Gomersal Loop offers another way to shape your stay. These two themes offer different highlights, so when choosing a holiday rental, consider which experiences interest you most.

Wine history and insights at Gomersal Wines

A boutique winery was established in the small town of Gomersal in 1887; today, it is home to Gomersal Wines. At the cellar door, you can learn more about the vineyard, the winemaking philosophy and the history of what is now Gomersal Wines.

One specific food option is the “Gomersal Cheese & Wine Flight”, priced at 25 Australian dollars per person. It pairs Gomersal Riesling with Barossa Valley Cheese Babybert and Gomersal Rosé with Barossa Valley Cheese “La Dame”, aged for one year. Gomersal GSM is served with Barossa Valley Cheese “Barossa Washrind”. Gomersal Cabernet Sauvignon is paired with Maggie Beer’s “Vintage Cheddar”, while Gomersal Shiraz is paired with Grana Padano. The five pairings make the flight a selection of different wines and cheeses rather than a single combination. This lets you decide when planning whether this clearly defined food experience suits your stay.

Historic stables at Pindarie

Another distinctive wine-related feature is the Pindarie cellar door. It is located in historic stables that owners Tony Brooks and Wendy Allan have carefully restored. This makes it different from the information about the vineyard, winemaking philosophy and winery history offered at the Gomersal Wines cellar door. If you are interested in both wine and historic buildings when choosing experiences for your trip, you can include these as separate options in your holiday plans.

Plan the Gomersal Loop

The Gomersal Loop is 11 km long, connects Lyndoch with Seppeltsfield and follows local farm roads. It is a specific option for travellers who want to include a longer route in their stay. The best time to experience the Gomersal Loop is from autumn to late spring.

There is a specific note about the route in winter: on Hoklas Road, there is a risk of getting stuck in the mud. A detour via Gomersal Road is recommended. Keep this in mind if you plan to do the Loop in winter, and choose your route accordingly. The seasonal recommendation and the note about Hoklas Road relate to the Loop; they are not general statements about other offerings in Gomersal.
