Chateau Yaldara is an Australian winery located near Lyndoch, South Australia, in the historic Barossa Valley wine-growing region. ^{[3] [4]}

History

The winery was founded by the Hermann Thumm in 1947 after he emigrated to Australia from Europe in 1946. ^[5] The site chosen for the winery was on the banks of the North Para River ^[6] at an old flour mill dating back to 1855. The winery was named "Yaldara" after the local Aboriginal word meaning "sparkling". ^[5]

The Seekers filmed the video for Turn, Turn, Turn at the winery in 1967. ^{[7] [8]}

After over fifty years ownership, Hermann Thumm sold the winery in 1999 to the wine company McGuigan Wines. ^[5] In 2014, it was purchased by 1847, a wine company owned by Zhitai Wang of New South Wales and Kuifen Wang of Qingdao, in Shandong, China. ^[5]
