The village of Bethany was the first settlement in the Barossa Valley, established in 1842. The first vines on Bethany Estate were planted in 1852, the beginning of a passion and tradition that continues on today within the Schrapel family, six generations later. First Village reflects the folkloric style of Bethany’s German heritage, and depicts scenes telling the story of the establishment of the village.
