My husband and I booked in to La Prova’s monthly wine taste flight. We got to sample five wines which were incredible. Also ordered a Charcerturie Plate which was adequate for two. We were able to sample local produce including meats, olive, chutney, pickled zucchini and dried pear. The staff were very friendly and knowledgeable in all aspects related to their wine. They made us feel very welcome and at home. This made for an overall positive and highly memorable experience. Thank you and highly recommend to anyone.

Very little to say really, if you haven't been you must! The setting is just sensational, the wines are some of the best in country without question and if you happen to hit there when there is a function going on, well you will never go anywhere else. We live in the Adelaide Hills and there are many big name wineries that just don't deliver, Karrawatta does in spades. The staff bend over backwards to ensure your stay is exceptional and if you happen to catch Mark, it's even harder to leave. Anytime of the year is just fine. this is true love!

Ten Miles East

A Small Artisan Winery Tucked In A Norton Summit Valley Within The Cool Climate Of South Australia's Famed Adelaide Hills. Using only estate-grown fruit, the owners and winemakers James and Taiita Champniss handcraft limited batches of minimal intervention and incredibly fine wine. Our Cellar Door is only a 20 minute drive from Adelaide and on the fringe of our wine region.

Somerled Wines

Rob was employed by Max Schubert, father of Grange, at Penfolds back in 1969. Now Rob’s running the most elegant, surprising and creative wine secret in the Adelaide Hills with his own family, Heather, Lucy and Emma. It’s not quite like anything else. Part cellar door and part wine bar, Somerled opens til 7:30pm every night. Front and centre of their website sits their weekly blog. Have a look now! Rob’s elegant and clean sparklings and whites contrast superbly with his mature and complex aged reds. According to The Advertiser, Somerled shirazes are ‘as close to Grange as you’ll ever get’. Lucy has recently re-introduced Wine Tasting Flights at their long marble bar, or try wines by the half glass or glass. Nibbles are abundant: try the warm cheese puffs, French toasties, warm anchovy sticks and their signature Spanish platters!

Longview Vineyard

Longview is a stunning family owned Australian vineyard located just outside the historic township of Macclesfield in the Adelaide Hills. Set on undulating slopes reminiscent of classic old world estates, it has quickly established itself as one the most awarded vineyards in the region since its first vintage in 2001. With gorgeous 4 star accommodation, breathtaking views from cellar door, immensely popular Sunday tapas and a most sought after function centre, Longview Vineyard is more than just a premium wine producer: it is one of the most impressive wine tourism destinations in South Australia and the 'Pick of the Adelaide Hills'. Want to drink in the surroundings a little longer? The accommodation on Longview's stunning 200 acre property has become one of the Adelaide Hills' primary get-away destinations. Offering gourmet breakfast provisions, modern amenities and lush furnishings, you may never want to leave. The lovingly restored Longview Homestead can be used as one large residence or two private apartments. Comprised of beautifully appointed King and Queen Bedrooms and a large sun room this heated and air conditioned home is large enough to sleep 10 but perfect for a luxurious two person getaway. The Homestead is equipped with two newly renovated modern spa bathrooms, a full kitchen and second kitchenette, a spacious lounge with state-of-the-art entertainment system, free wi-fi and private balconies with breathtaking views. In true B & B style we include breakfast provisions and award winning Longview wine. If cooking is not on your agenda, we're less than 5 minutes from the Three Brothers Arms and Macclesfield Hotels. Longview is also 14km from the historic town of Strathalbyn, where you can enjoy meals and entertainment at the award winning Victoria Hotel or spend the day on High Street perusing famous antique stores. As an alternative to our Homestead, superb accommodation awaits you in the modern Longview Vineyard Suites - 12 king rooms that usher in another phase of Longview hospitality. Built on gentle slopes surrounded by our Pinot Noir, these sparkling lodgings have private balconies and showcase contemporary architecture beautifully juxtaposed with the majestic rural surrounds that have made our vineyard such a popular get-away destination. Also, as a special treat to our guests, we have created a slightly larger Spa Suite, complete with a Jacuzzi bath tub for two looking out at the vines through floor to ceiling windows or shaded for your privacy. Each elegantly decorated suite has a king bed, flat screen TV, a self-contained kitchenette, en-suite bathroom, reverse cycle air-conditioning, free wi-fi and the latest appliances. Gourmet breakfast provisions and our award winning wine are provided to each guest and the close proximity to our cellar door, function centre, veranda and lush lawns ensures that further relaxation is only seconds away.

Bird in Hand Winery

Nestled in the picturesque Adelaide Hills of South Australia, Bird in Hand is a world-renowned producer of fine wine that celebrates place and passion not only through expert vinification but also through food, art, and cultural events.The cellar door and restaurant are temporarily closed due to renovations.

Reviewed By _lille4 - Adelaide, Australia

If you have called in for tasting their glorious sparkling, or their latest sauvignon blanc, or the rose, or their reds especially Nero d'avola, then stay and have absolutely the most superb antipasto platter available at any wine region in S.A. We have been travelling through all the wine regions; the platters vary, but this one is a must. The breads are lovely, the cheeses very good, the meats, cornichons, I could go on ... but the local olives are absolutely out of this world. Sheltered outside admiring the green lawns, hedges, vines and trees all with memories of Tuscany or Provence ... it is just an absolute delight, and we are so lucky to be on the doorstep. Fabulous for weddings or special events, Bird in the Hand touches you with its magic. Just go ... and often!

Fantastic viewing and tasting of the wines and ciders. Lucky enough to do this in the manufacturing shed where we could get the up close and personal tour. Tried around 7 different beverages and Craig the wine maker was fantastic in explaining the process.
