Yalumba commissioned Grieve Gillett to design a flagship dining and wine tasting area. It is housed in the original heritage-listed Administration Building at Angaston. The design involved the renovation of the subterranean “Signature Cellar” and the conversion of underground concrete wine tanks into private dining and wine tasting rooms, complete with kitchen and service facilities.
The former concrete winemaking tanks offered a unique opportunity for conversion. The existing wax-sealed concrete tank walls, with their wine stained patina, were retained and highlighted. The result is a reflective, inward focused space disconnected from the outside world, where attention is concentrated on wine, food and fellowship.
The celebration of existing heritage building fabric coupled with considered, contemporary insertions has resulted in the creation of an appropriate, cost-effective and enduring legacy for Yalumba.
