About Hastwell & Lightfoot
Hastwell & Lightfoot is a family-owned winery on Foggo Road at McLaren Flat, in the McLaren Vale wine district. Two generations have farmed the 40-acre estate, which focuses on Mediterranean grapes such as Fiano, Vermentino and Barbera. Events centre on the Oak Room, a rustic timber space that seats up to 50 at long tables. A wrap-around spotted gum deck and green lawns surround it, looking across the vines toward the hills. Combining the room, deck and lawns allows a cocktail-style gathering for up to 150. The family has hosted dinner parties for as few as 12, and very large events may need a one-off special event permit, which the team will flag at booking. The space suits birthdays, end-of-year parties, work functions and weddings, and couples also get access to the family's private vineyard and pine forest a kilometre away for photos. Children are welcome, lawn games are on hand and dogs can join in outdoors. The cellar door can supply grazing platters and light bites, and you are free to bring your own caterer, food truck or pizza oven. The family's estate-grown wines are poured alongside. Pricing depends on numbers, season and the shape of the day. Send an enquiry with your plans and a quote comes back within 48 hours.
