Wonderground Wins 2026 Best Of Wine Tourism Award
Wonderground has been awarded South Australia’s 2026 Best Of Wine Tourism Award for Art and Culture — celebrating our cellar door, gallery, and the intention behind them both.
We have been awarded South Australia’s 2026 Best Of Wine Tourism Award for Art and Culture — celebrating our cellar door, gallery, and the intention behind them both.
Presented by the Great Wine Capitals global network, these awards recognise innovation and excellence across ten of the world’s leading wine regions. Wonderground was selected as South Australia’s winner in the Art and Culture category — a category that speaks directly to the purpose behind what we’ve built here in Marananga.
From the beginning, we wanted Wonderground to feel different. Not just a place to taste wine, but a destination layered with texture, meaning and intent. A cellar door and a gallery. A studio and a sanctuary. A place to pause, reflect, and connect —with the land, and with the creative spirit of the Barossa and the community that brings it to life.
This award reflects the slow and considered work of building something with depth. A place where architecture, vineyard, and gallery are given equal weight. Where you can feel the intention behind every decision, even if it’s quiet.
It’s a privilege to be recognised among such an inspiring group of wine experiences across the Barossa and greater South Australia. Our thanks to the judging panel, and to the team at South Australia’s Great Wine Capitals program.
In November, Wonderground will go on to represent Adelaide in the global Best Of Wine Tourism Awards — held this year in Bordeaux, France.
