Bay of Shoals is located on Reeves farm which was part of the first land subdivision shown in South Australia.
South Australia’s settlement began at Reeves Point on 27 July 1836. Augustus Reeves was the pioneer who farmed and built his home on the saddle of the hill overlooking the Bay of Shoals. This homestead is now heritage-listed and commonly known as Reeves Cottage.
Bay of Shoals celebrated the opening of its Cellar Door and Winery on Easter Saturday 2006. The winery commenced operation with the 2007 vintage.
