The Story of Seppeltsfield
Seppeltsfield began in 1852. A man named Joseph Ernst Seppelt bought land there. He had moved to South Australia in 1849 from a place called Lower Silesia.
Early Farming Efforts
When Joseph Seppelt first arrived, he tried to grow different crops. He started by attempting to grow tobacco. After that, he also planted corn and wheat. Eventually, he found success growing grapes. This led to the start of the famous winery that still exists today.
