Bethany Wines has built a reputation as one of Australia’s finest wine producers, underpinned by a strong sense of family tradition since the mid-1800s.

The winery is owned and run by the Schrapel family, who first planted vines in 1852 soon after arriving from Silesia. Like many of their fellow Germanic migrants, they established a home in Bethany and cleared the land to grow winegrapes and graze animals. More than a century later, fifth generation descendants, brothers Geoff and Robert Schrapel, established Bethany Wines as a thriving winery.

Today, Bethany Wines boasts one of the finest views overlooking stunning sweeping vineyards in the Barossa Valley and beyond. The Schrapel family’s philosophy has remained consistent - to produce exceptional wines that express the microclimate and terroir of Bethany underpinned by the strong sense of tradition that will continue for future generations.

The winery specialises in ultra-premium Shiraz with their icon wine, the GR Reserve Shiraz. A range of five single vineyard premium wines are produced under their Blue Quarry label. The First Village range encompasses a selection of white and red wines, including fortified.
