The Winehouse, located in Langhorne Creek, South Australia, is a unique and pioneering establishment in the region's wine scene. It was established in 2008 when the Potts family purchased the “Bremer Café” and transformed it into The Winehouse, one of the first collaborative cellar doors in South Australia. This innovative concept allows multiple boutique wine producers to showcase and sell their wines under one roof, creating a vibrant hub for wine lovers to explore the diversity of Langhorne Creek wines.

The Winehouse embodies this heritage while embracing modernity, offering visitors a relaxed and eclectic tasting experience that combines old-world charm with contemporary flair.
