Explore the generations of the Hardy family who have worked and contributed to Hardys Wines over the many years with our museum display. Take a look at a few of the key pieces of winemaking equipment that have been part of the winemaking process.
Or take in the view of our open fermentation cellar, where all the premium Hardys red wines are made every year from February to May. From plungers, to basket presses, to 5 and 10 tonne fermenters, this is the heart of our working winery.

Housed in the heart of the original mill building, our Fortified room is a wonderful celebration of the many delicious styles of fortified wine that have played such an important role in the history of Hardys Wines.

You will see original advertisements from the Hardys Wines archives, as well as new and old fortified wines. Take a look at the beautiful colours of the different fortified wine styles, as they develop and mature over time, or take a closer look at the antique model of a typical brandy still.

Look out for the Solera stack of barrels at the back of the room, which is how Tawny is made, or the barrel of sherry that is maturing before your eyes. It is a great opportunity to understand more about these long standing styles and what goes in to making them.

The lovely gardens at Hardys Tintara includes a large lawn area and our most distinguished feature - the enormous Moreton Bay Fig Tree. Planted in around 1868 and listed in the National Trust Register of Significant Trees, numbered 17 out of 650. The seedling was handed to the Manager of the Mortlock Mill around 1865 by the Adelaide Botanic Gardens Director of the time, who encouraged their planting, as he considered the Moreton Bay Fig to be the Oak tree of Australia.

Rumoured to be the largest Moreton Bay Fig tree in the Southern hemisphere, this tree is as much a part of Hardys Tintara as the winery itself.
