Kaesler Wineries were founded in 1893 by the Kaesler family that had migrated to South Australia from Silesia in the 1840s. Over the decades, the family often struggled to make a living from the wineries and therefore also did some small scale cattle and fruit farming. However, in 1983 the last remaning Kaesler wine-grower sold the property to the local Toby Heuppauff who renovated the buildings, created the restaurant and also started to make his own wine - up to then the wineries had only grown the grapes and sold them, but not made own wine.
The wineries now have several owners and are 92 hectares wide.

This winery sticked out among the others because the area was larger and the buildings bigger. There was much more decoration, like the big barrels in the entrance area (see picture 2). We had lunch in the great restaurant and I really liked the atmosphere and ambience. I did not try any wine though.
