A lovely winery to visit, with breathtaking views of the surrounding area. The winery boasts 30 hectares of vineyards in the Bethany area.
From the website:
Johann Gottlob Schrapel and his family arrived in South Australia from Silesia on the ship 'George Washington' in 1844, just eight years after the colony was settled.
Like many of their fellow Germanic migrants they made their way to Bethany, the Barossa Valley's first settlement, where they established a home and planted vineyard in 1852.
In 1981 Johann Schrapel's fifth generation descendants Geoff and Rob Schrapel established a winery in a quarry high in the Barossa Ranges, overlooking the family's vineyards and the historic village of Bethany.
