Buildings and Grounds

The Château is a two storey building constructed in 1890 of brick and bluestone from the Bethany quarry (where Bethany wines are now situated). It is a most significant and visually impressive building. At the time of building it was the largest building in South Australia and the largest winery in the Southern Hemisphere. The Distillery was constructed in 1890 and the Bond Store was constructed in 1911. Both buildings incorporate similar design elements to the Château.

The Chateau entrance has recently been restored with the laying of cobblestones right around the Chateau and the sunken Garden to the rear is fast becoming a tourist attraction in its own right.
