About Us

The first vineyard along the banks of Jacob’s Creek was planted in 1847. The whole story starts when William Jacobs arrived in the Barossa Valley and settled on the banks of a small creek. Even today, you can see the original cottage in the Jacob’s Creek visitor Center. When the Bavarian-born immigrant learned that there was potential for grape growing, he bought 30 hectares in the Rowland Flat and planted the first commercial Barossa vineyard. At the beginning, this was just a vision of Johann Gramp, but soon it became a reality. Together with his wife, Johann started a small winery along the banks of Jacob’s Creek. Just few years later, they succeed to produce the first Barossa wine. In 1877 Johann’s son Gustav decides to build larger cellars just 2 kilometers from the original vineyard. In 1912, The Gramp family decided to name their family business as G. Gramp & Sons. The winery lifted the production of the Australian wines to another level. 60 years later, the Jacob’s Creek brand was born. This first named Jacob’s Creek wine was a vintage blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz.
