About Sidewood Estate
Sidewood Estate is a family-owned winery on River Road in Hahndorf, making cool-climate wines from its own Adelaide Hills vineyards. Its cellar door and restaurant double as an event venue for birthdays, weddings, corporate days and other milestones. The gallery restaurant is the main indoor room, a contemporary space hung with fine art that works for canapés or formal dinners. For a smaller, more private occasion, the Mappinga Room is a separate dining space suited to intimate celebrations, cocktail parties and business events. The deck is fully enclosed with café blinds and has heating and cooling, so it works in any season. The veranda looks over the lawn bowls courts and the wood-fired pizza oven, and can be closed off for a smaller private group. Outside, the courtyard is set with high tables, daybeds and lounge seating and takes cocktail-style events of 10 to 130 guests. The lawn sits beneath tall gums and runs on from the garden, giving room for long lunches and relaxed gatherings. Catering comes from the estate kitchen and follows the seasons, with standing canapés, long lunches and formal sit-down dinners all on offer, plus wine-matched degustation events. The estate's own wines are poured throughout. Weddings are a big part of the offer, with a ceremony lawn that can take a white canopy tent and a reception area with open fires. The functions and events team plans each event with you, so send an enquiry to start.
