Explore the generations of the Hardy family who have worked and contributed to Hardys Wines over the many years with our museum display. Take a look at a few of the key pieces of winemaking equipment that have been part of the winemaking process.
Or take in the view of our open fermentation cellar, where all the premium Hardys red wines are made every year from February to May. From plungers, to basket presses, to 5 and 10 tonne fermenters, this is the heart of our working winery.

The lovely gardens at Hardys Tintara includes a large lawn area and our most distinguished feature - the enormous Moreton Bay Fig Tree. Planted in around 1868 and listed in the National Trust Register of Significant Trees, numbered 17 out of 650. The seedling was handed to the Manager of the Mortlock Mill around 1865 by the Adelaide Botanic Gardens Director of the time, who encouraged their planting, as he considered the Moreton Bay Fig to be the Oak tree of Australia. Rumoured to be the largest Moreton Bay Fig tree in the Southern hemisphere, this tree is as much a part of Hardys Tintara as the winery itself.

There are a number of significant trees in our region that have been recognised and have become part of the McLaren Vale Cellar Door Tree Trail. At Hardys Tintara we have 3 significant trees that are part of the tree trail. The Moreton Bay Fig (Ficus macrophylla), the Norfolk Islamd pine (Araucaria heterophylla) and the Small-leaved Moreton Bay fig (Ficus obliqua). Each tree bears a tag that shows the age and height of the tree as well as the importance of the tree in relation to climate control evidence and other biodiversity factors.
