About Cobb's Hill Estate

Cobb's Hill Estate is a working farm and vineyard on Swamp Road at Oakbank in the Adelaide Hills. The property once formed part of a Cobb & Co coach staging route, and today it runs to 120 hectares with vines, Black Angus cattle and sheep. The homestead sits within botanic gardens that take in a pond, a stone-lined creek, a wishing well and century-old oaks. Group lunches and celebrations can be set up in the gardens, on the Landing above the lawns, in the Terrace Restaurant or in the Pavilion Marquee. The Terrace Restaurant is climate controlled and looks over the gardens and valley, which suits private dining and smaller daytime or evening events. The Landing gets a caravan bar during the warmer months and fire pits once it cools down, and the Pavilion Marquee takes up to 230 guests. The kitchen cooks seasonal dishes from estate and local produce. Group options include a garden pinsa package with a mezze plate and salads, and a shared feast with entrees, two mains and dessert, and vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free dishes are available. Drinks come as two-hour packages of estate wines, beer, cider and soft drinks, with a reserve wine upgrade and an Aperol Spritz on arrival as extras. Weddings get the estate to themselves from 5pm, with all catering handled in-house, and a restored vineyard cottage on the property sleeps six.
