Ray White Port Adelaide principal Nick Psarros, who is selling the property with Penny Papazis, said it had been owned by the same family for decades.
“They’ve had it in the family for about 40 years or so and they’re just thinking it’s time to move on,” he said.
“It’s not running as a winery anymore even though they’ve got wine stored there.”
He said many Adelaide residents had fond memories of the property.
“I’ve spoken to so many people who went there for weddings,” Mr Psarros said.
“Even I went there for lunch about 30 years ago – we loved it.”
The grand estate has a rustic character with three function or dining areas, two gardens for weddings, a terrace and additional outdoor entertainment area for dining, offices, two industrial kitchens and the winery.

Mr Psarros said the property will be sold “as is” so included all the plant and dining equipment on site, as well as vats and about 180,000L of wine.
He said plenty of prospective buyers were already showing interest in the property.

“I’ve got lots of people calling and wanting to have a look at it.”
