Turkey Flat Vineyards
Welcome to the old Schulz family butchers' shop, now the heart of Turkey Flat and the home of our cellar door. This wonderful old bluestone building is tucked away on the edge of Tanunda, completely surrounded by our historic vineyards, which date back to 1847.
It was here, on the banks of Tanunda Creek, where bush turkeys once roamed, that pioneer Salesian settler, Johann Friedrich August Fiedler, planted the first Shiraz vines in 1843. His vines flourished and the land was bought in 1865 by Gottlieb Ernst Schulz, a successful butcher who established a thriving retail business among the vines.
Butchering developed into dairying, but the vineyards were always kept, until Peter, a fourth generation Schulz and his wife Christie, made the transition from grape growing to winemaking.
They transformed the historic bluestone butchers shop into the cellar door and heart of their Turkey Flat wine business.
