The Barossa Cellar, a $4.5 million state-of-the-art wine museum off Stockwell Road, Vine Vale, in the Barossa Valley, opened in 2019. The Barons of Barossa fraternity launched the concept for the The Barossa Cellar in 2011 to collect and preserve the very best wines of each Barossa Valley and Eden Valley vintage.

This collection, curated by a panel of winemakers and donated by local wineries, would be cellared for a minimum of 10 years before being used to promote Barossa wines to a global audience.

The Barossa Cellar building has become the new home of the Barossa Grape & Wine Association and the central hub for the region's grape growing and winemaking activities. Wines from The Barossa Cellar would be made available for special tastings and events in the region and around the world to promote and educate a global wine audience about Barossa fine wines.

Barons of Barossa contributed $1 million to The Barossa Cellar project and remain its custodians. Part of the cellar has been built into the hillside to accommodate a wine vault with optimum cellar conditions to age, store and exhibit the region's first significant collection of Barossa and Eden Valley wines. The wine collection also includes up to 2000 dozen of Barons’ bottled wine.

The building's middle section will offer spaces designed to house educational events, such as master classes, lectures and tastings.

The cellar also would have a vineyard sourced from 33 of the Barossa's oldest and most iconic shiraz vineyard and representing some of the oldest shiraz genetics in the world.
