Established in 1868, Henschke is resolute in its desire for complete integration of vineyard and winery, through six generations of family grape-growing and winemaking tradition in the Eden Valley and Barossa Valley.

To celebrate the Henschke portfolio of globally acclaimed wines, we welcome you to join 5th Generation Stephen and Prue Henschke at an exclusive weekend, on 31 May – 2 June 2024, at Spicers Creek Lodge to experience wines that are recognised around the world for their exceptional quality, innovation and sustainability in the vineyard.

As the much-anticipated 2019 releases – Hill of Grace, Mount Edelstone, The Wheelwright and Cyril Henschke – will be globally released in early May, be one of the first in Australia to experience these four exceptional wines.

“The wines from 2019 are of outstanding quality with wonderful flavour concentration and incredible power, excellent balance and seamless, mature tannins that reveal impressive length and depth,” says Stephen Henschke, fifth-generation winemaker. “This year we celebrate Prue’s enduring commitment to the health of these vineyards; nominating the 2019 vintage as one graced by The Nurturer,” Stephen continues. “Although the yields were minuscule, the quality produced by these old vines shines through. Our love and nourishment in the vineyard has been returned in the wines, says Prue.

Throughout the weekend, 23 wines, inclusive of three Hill of Grace wines and rare vintages from the Henschke museum, will be showcased when dining, at sunset, with the firepit barbeque lunch, throughout the masterclass, hosted by Prue and Stephen, and at the celebratory Gala Dinner when paired with a stunning degustation menu.

Prue and Stephen continue 4th generation’s Cyril Henschke’s pioneering spirit and the tradition of cellar-aging wines, especially those from with viticultural heritage. On the Saturday afternoon, guests will experience a selection of these wines in a Masterclass of comparative current releases and museum vintages – Keyneton Euphonium (2021 and 2009), Mount Edelstone (2019 and 2013) release and Hill of Grace (2019 and 2008) – an experience not to be missed.

The Henschke family are mindful of their role as custodians of the Henschke vineyards and their need to nurture them for future generations.

You will also have time to relax in the stunning surrounds of South East Queensland’s only Luxury Lodge of Australia, treat yourself to a day spa experience, or explore the surrounding World Heritage-listed National Park on foot or mountain bike. This intimate experience is reserved exclusively for just 22 guests.

Please note there is limited availability for this exclusive weekend, so do not hesitate to reserve your spot today.
