Wolf Blass welcomes you to drop in for a tasting, on the same spot where their founder Wolfgang Blass set up his original winery. Today it’s an ultra-modern, state of the art facility, located on Sturt Highway, a picturesque 90 minutes drive north of Adelaide. Enjoy the many flavours our tasting room has to offer. You can sample the making of Black Label straight from the barrel, enjoy a cheese board and a glass of wine, or simply and espresso and something sweet.

Wolfgang Franz Otto Blass was born in Germany in 1934.

After Wolf ran away from school, his parents gave him an ultimatum: start a 3-year winemaking apprenticeship or get back to class. And so began a journey which changed the winemaking world.

After studying Champagne techniques in France in 1957, Wolf became the youngest person ever to graduate with a Masters in Oenology (Wine Science) from Veitschoechheim-Wuerzberg. In 1959, he moved to England to study the art of blending before moving to the Barossa Valley in 1961, deciding against a move to Venezuela. In 1966, he established Wolf Blass Wines.
