First time visiting this cellar door. We received a warm welcome. We were shown to our table which had lovely views over the vineyard. We chose the white flight and the mixed flight fir our tasting. Our hostess was friendly and very knowledgeable. We chose a white to take home with us. Disappointing that the wine tasting cost is not reduced upon the purchase of wine.

Dear Bceeingu, Thank you for visiting our cellar door.
As with many cellar doors across the country now, we no longer offer wine tasting as an option.
Instead, we offer a relaxed personable seated experience in which visitors can enjoy a wine flight or a glass of wine off our menu, while soaking up the vineyard views.
Each wine flight ($12 each) consists of three glasses of different wines, which in total equal a full restaurant serve glass of wine.
Like other hospitality venues, we do not reduce the cost of menu experiences off any take-home purchases.
I am happy to hear you enjoyed the views and your experience with us and purchased your favourite white wine to take home for future enjoyment.
Kind regards, Dee

I couldn't recommend this place more!
My partner and I enjoyed an hour long experience at Hahndorf Hill Winery early in January this year. Our server was very knowledgeable, and a very kind and easy to talk to lady who gave us proper insight into the plates we were enjoying. I had the milk chocolate experience, which was lovely, and her insight into how to properly use the palate cleanser Mt. Lofty water allowed me to really experience each chocolate and enjoy their different qualities, while my partner really enjoyed her beautiful mixed wine flight.
While the experience at the winery was amazing, their efforts didn't stop there! When we realised we had a flat tire upon leaving, Jack, one of the staff at the winery, pulled his car over and took time out of his day to help us change the tire. He was an incredible help and made our lives so much easier.
Thankyou to the brilliant staff at the winery for giving us such a lovely experience, and a special thanks to Jack for being so kind and helpful! We will definitely be back.

Unique chocolate/cheese/wine tasting experience in Hahndorf
We went to try something different to just tasting wine. We went this winery as they advertised a chocolate or cheese AND wine flight options.
We tried both the mixed wine and white flights ( 3 different types of wine with each glass 1/3 full) with a lovely cheese platter. We were particularly impressed with the Gru Gruner Veltliner 2020.
The restaurant overlooks beautiful rolling hills and the service is first class. The staff are very knowledgeable about the wines, and we were very impressed with Dee who has worked there for over 15 years.
If you are looking for friendly service, award winning wines and a decent variety of tastes, you won't be disappointed.

What an absolute delight. We sat on the glassed in deck overlooking the vines and countryside and were taken through the subtleties of tasting chocolate with wine. Our hostess was helpful, informative and charming. While we are both avid wine and chocolate consumers we had not experienced a paired chocolate and wine tasting and it is certainly worthwhile. Although the booking is for a half hour we had not trouble taking their recommended hour to enjoy the experience and then we added on some time for contemplating purchases. I certainly recommend the experience for something a little different, delightfully decadent.

Dear Travel_addict13_10, what a wonderful review to read. Thank you.
We definitely recommend an hour to sip and savour the flavour profiles that occur when combining gourmet chocolate and wine matching. It is a sublime experience.
We hope to host you again when next visiting the beautiful Adelaide Hills.

Loved the wines at this cellar door. The whole experience was outstanding with an outlook of picturesque views while our host shared informative knowledge of each of our wines. We especially enjoyed the whites and sparklings which were exceptional. They were very hospitable and friendly, and we would highly recommend a visit here.

Short effective wine tasting. Very professional business like. Fine wines especially the Syrah wines. Try also an extra cheese table, cost a bit more.

Great winery with lovely views. We had the chocolate and wine tasting (tried the white wine flight and dark chocolate Flight). Excellent chocolates and wines, would have liked to have the discount with purchase as well.

Dear swishmishS,
It is lovely to hear that you indulged in our gourmet chocolate and wine experience, and I am delighted you enjoyed the products we served.
The ChocoVino menu items include a full restaurant serve of wine, with gourmet chocolate sourced from top chocolate houses and a bottle of palate cleansing water.
Purchasing wine is an option offered to all customers, but we do not reduce the cost of menu experiences off any take-home purchases.

Fabulous view from up high over multicoloured vines and an excellent tasting experience. We took the cheese option and our host Kates suggestion of choosing 6 wines to share. Kate was extremely knowledgeable and friendly. Bought to take with us . Don’t miss it.

A short walk from the main road we found this wonderful place. Full of interesting information about the wines. We chose a red set of flytes and a mixed set, added the cheese option to our tasting experience. Excellent wines offered and the ginger in syrup for the cheese was outstanding. An excellent way to see new wines

The feature of Hahndorf Hill winery is the wonderful elevated conservatory overlooking the winery. If your go, book a table at the window, as it’s really lovely. We went for a tasting, and two of us had wine (which was very good) but they also offer chocolate and ice cream tastings, which was very good for our designated driver. Good experience.

Are dogs allowed outside while humans consume a meal?
Written 13 June 2018

Hahndorf, Australia
Good morning, thank you for your question regarding dogs being allowed outside while you are inside visiting our cellar door. We have changed our offering, now focusing on our core product which is the wine - offering wine flights with cheese and wine flights with gourmet chocolate with our ChocoVino experience.
We do not have a lunch menu.
There is a entrance to the back of the cellar door at which you can tie your dog up safely while you are inside and we can certainly put some water out for them.
They would have customers passing directly past them if this is not an issue for you.
It is not too far from where you would be seated so you can regularly check on them for your piece of mind.
Any further questions, please feel free to call the cellar door on (08) 8388 7512.

For Christine,
Hi there, we were there today and had a lovely time. We have 6 bottles of wine being shipped but I forgot to get their names. Can you help? One was Blueblood and 1 was the desert wine.
Thank you so much Christine, we look forward to coming back this October😀

Do they serve meals at Sunday lunch?
Written 16 May 2016
Good afternoon Susanne09, I apologise for not replying sooner. I did not realise that Trip Advisor has also added questions to their offerings.
Yes we do offer platter lunches, a savoury, seafood & a vegetarian option. You can see the choices on our website under the Cellar Door tab - Platter Menu
We also offer cheese, wine flights, coffee and cake along with our ChocoVino - gourmet chocolate and wine matching experiences. The ChocoVino includes Purely Chocolate menu items as well.
Our kitchen is open from 10am-4pm - 7 days a week excluding public holidays. We take our last booking at 4pm as we close at 5pm so that you are not rushed.
Bookings are preferred - especially on weekends to avoid disappointment for 8 guests or less. (08) 8388 7512
While we do not offer food for larger groups due to the restricted size of our kitchen, we do have 5 different Group Tasting Program options which also can be found on our website under the Cellar Door tab - Group tastings.
It was nice to read the comments and information from others that answered your question. I hope that you did indeed visit our cellar door on the Sunday in question and enjoyed your time with us and we look forward to hosting you again soon.
Kind regards
