About

Just 25 minutes from Adelaide's City Centre, Sidewood Restaurant & Cellar Door offers a stunning escape into the heart of the Hills. Positioned at the gateway to historic Hahndorf, the venue's striking jet‑black exterior stands in beautiful contrast to the surrounding eucalyptus and landscaped gardens. Showcasing contemporary seasonal cuisine, the Gallery restaurant features an à la carte menu on weekdays, while on weekends we invite diners to choose from our curated tasting menus — or settle in on our veranda or in our courtyard for a relaxed feast of wood‑oven pizzas and grazing boards.

Perfect for both intimate outings and larger group celebrations, guests can enjoy the luxurious interior, sunlit deck, or stretch out on VIP day beds beside the lawn bowls green. Families are equally looked after, with a spacious garden and nature play area offering plenty to explore.

At the Cellar Door, visitors can sample Sidewood's award‑winning cool‑climate wines and ciders through guided tastings or curated paddles or even try sabrage, the theatrical art of opening a bottle of sparkling with a sabre.

Whether you're planning a laid‑back family day or seeking an elevated culinary journey, Sidewood delivers the perfect Adelaide Hills experience.
