A great location amongst historic vineyards and buildings. With St Hugo and Grant Burge now in the same cellar door we were able to select a flight of each to experience two well known brands. 10/10 for customer experience with a highly engaging team behind the experience. A must visit when spending time in the Barossa.

Don't miss this opportunity! Perfect day at St Hugo's. Started off with a guided tour of the garden and estate with Executive Head Chef Simon Hicks accompanied by a glass of bubbly. Simon gave a great insight into history of the winery and his own extensive chef adventures around the world. Next we were presented with a table overlooking the kitchen where we were treated to one of the most stunning food experience I've ever had, perfectly matched with St Hugo's finest wine varietals. Thank you Simon and the team. Shout out to Ricky for the fantastic food preparation.read moreread less

What an incredible day at St Hugo in the Barossa Valley!
The Garden to Table experience felt less like a formal wine tasting and more like spending the afternoon with good friends who just happen to be amazing chefs and wine experts.
We started with a glass of Champagne and a stroll through the vineyards to the Kitchen Garden, where Adrian walked us through how they grow and use the produce on their seasonal menu.
It really made us appreciate how much thought goes into every dish.
Back at the restaurant, we were seated right at the open kitchen, watching the Executive Chef Simon Hicks and his skilled team at work while enjoying a beautiful four-course menu perfectly matched with St Hugo wines.
The food was fresh and full of flavour, and the pairings couldn’t have been better. Offering alternative dishes to suit dietary requirements. Seeing the professional response to special requests for dining room guests and whipping up amazing cheese platters at short notice for the cellar door.
The lamb cutlets were tender and delicious. The custard tart with gelato prepared from scratch in house was the stand out dish. Amazing.
What really stood out, though, was the atmosphere — it honestly felt like a five-hour lunch with close friends, full of laughter, great conversation, and shared stories over incredible food and wine.
A truly special experience — relaxed, intimate, and full of heart. I’d do it again in a heartbeat. Highlight of our long weekend in the Barossa Valley 🍷✨

We did the Garden to Table experience. Initially we were greeted and taken for a stroll around the property and kitchen garden by our hostess Sonia. Informative, interesting and made even more pleasant by a glass of French bubbles. The property itself is stunning with views in every direction. The restaurant has a phenomenal feature fireplace and makes use of the views.
We were then seated at a counter top overlooking the kitchen where we were introduced to the chefs, Simon and offsiders Liam and Ricky. All were exceptionally friendly and happy to discuss ingredients and techniques. One of the smoothest running kitchens I have seen. Even when they became extraordinarily busy there was no shouting or banging. Corrections made to junior staff with politeness and no malice. All the team members worked smoothly.
The food was exceptional and of a high level of refinement. Each dish was designed around a few key ingredients and these were elevated to display their qualities. The bonus of sitting by the kitchen meant we were lucky enough to have a few tastes of dishes intended elsewhere. The matching wines from the estate were all of a high standard including the Grenache. An interesting change to have it as a single variety rather than a GSM. The finishing desserts matched the quality of the rest of the meal and I'm stealing the idea of a sour cream icecream! Before we knew it 3 1/2 hours had passed and we left pleasantly full but not overstuffed. An experience I can't wait to repeat and one we will be bringing all our visitors to.

Exceptional! What an amazing wine and food experience at St Hugo cellar door. Surrounded by beautiful vineyards our small group was taken on a tour of the grounds with a bottomless glass of French champagne before being taken into the restaurant for the most divine five course degustation meal accompanied by St Hugo‘s most superb wines. Our table backed immediately onto the kitchen so we could watch head chef Simon Hicks and his team create delicious plates for us to devour.
Simon was extremely generous with his time and meaningful chats about his professional life, the restaurant game, wine, and everything in between!
I cannot wait to go to St Hugo Vineyards and cellar door again.
Highly recommend!!
I give it ️️️️️️

Four of us arrived on a Wednesday and decided to do the wine tasting. Jodie made us feel very welcome so we settled in to taste the range. Jodie’s explanation of not only the wines but the history of St Hugo and Grant Burge was impressive. Off for a lunch break, Jodie handed over to Paul who continued with incredible detail in his description of each wine and shared stories that kept us entertained. The impromptu tour of the facility was great and we left thoroughly satisfied with the best cellar door wine experience we’ve had. Can highly recommend.

An excellent experience followed by a superb lunch. Booked to Riedel master class and will always remember the tips given by our excellent host Ferdanand as I am no where near a wine expert. The comparison of the glasses with the same wine was something I wondered about and had read somewhat about. The lunch afterwards was excellent we could only do two of the three courses though desert was very tempting and we got to finish one of the excellent wines we tried in the class.
We had the mushroom pate and excellent onion soup for entree, mains were the baramundi and chicken breast with a side of roast potatoes,
Will definitely go back for lunch when next in the Barossa

An experience not to be missed!!! St Hugo’s “Garden to Table Experience & Lunch” is for those who seek more than a meal. It started with a walk through the Kitchen Garden where chef Simon Hicks talked to us about the produce and the vines. Once inside, we were seated within arm’s reach of the kitchen and watched Simon and his team in action. We were able to engage with the chef throughout the meal, gaining insight into techniques, ingredients, inspiration and with lots of laughs along the way. With a profound dedication to seasonal and locally-sourced ingredients, he emphasises uncomplicated dishes. The sommelier guided us through an impeccable selection of wines, each enhancing and elevating the dish it accompanied. From the moment we arrived, it was clear this wasn’t going to be just a lunch; it was a curated experience that blended food, wine, and storytelling.read moreread less

The standout of The Barossa Fantastic experience from the time you walk into St Hugo to the last mouth full ! The deligent'staff, friendly ambience and flavour of the food and wine pairing's are impeccable!
Not being a wine drinker .. Wow was I converted !
Every mouth full of the St Hugo range of Riesling, Shiraz and Tawny was lovely. All 6 wine tastings were a 10/10. The Trio of Chefs on board are an excellent team and offer the diner a great experience from garden to plate. My tastebuds definetly found the best of The Barossa all in one place. Thank you for showing us a Wonderful time, we can't wait to return and be reacquainted ! 5⭐️

Not so good experience I’ve never felt more unwelcome at a restaurant. The service was not just bad—it was clearly biased. From the moment we arrived, the staff barely acknowledged us, while other customers were greeted with smiles and friendly attitudes. We were basically ignored unless we pushed for attention. They were refilling water for every other table but didn’t even bother to give us some. Let’s call it what it is: it felt like racism. There’s no other way to explain how differently we were treated compared to others around us. It’s 2025, this kind of behaviour is disgusting and unacceptable.
I don’t care how good the food might be. If you can’t treat people with basic respect, especially people of color, then your business doesn’t deserve support. I won’t be back, and I hope others think twice before going.

The experience at St Hugo was in no way a reflection of any sort of bias- we have a wide and diverse team of staff and always welcome a wide demographic of guests.
I understand that in this particular instance, a member of the group came to dine wearing a t-shirt that included an expletive word and highly inappropriate phrase on the front. Our team shared feedback that they felt uncomfortable given the nature of what was on the shirt, and we also had other guests comment that they were uncomfortable, including one group with a young child.
Our team continued to host the group for the dining experience as they had already been seated at this point, and delivered an appropriate level of service. However after having been open for almost 9 years, and given this situation, we will be reviewing internally our policy on acceptable dining attire.

Incredible experience Amazing. The chef Simon, walked us through the kitchen garden (sipping champagne) and showed us some of the plants they use (who knew what a Jerusalem artichoke plant or a caper bush looked like!). We then got a prime seat watching the kitchen staff prepare the lunch sitting for about 40 people (so calm, so organised) and got our very special lunch served with some pretty incredible wines. The vegetarian option they prepared for me were so thoughtful and didn’t feel like poor cousins. (Best eggplant I have ever had). It was the highlight of the trip to The Barossa and I really recommend anyone interested in food (and wine) do it if they can. Huge thanks to Simon ( such a clever and lovely guy) and his kitchen team plus Sonia who explained the wine matches for an unforgettable afternoon.read moreread less

Best day in the Barossa! Wow, Wow, wowsers!!!! We loved this experience. Simon Hicks the head chef, spent time explaining their garden , planting for the restaurant, and history of the winery.His banter and sense of humour kept us entertained for hours. The staff very very professional and amazingly attentive. We watched the chefs at work ( Adrian, Josh and Charlotte) who all showed their skill under the watchful eyes of Simon. Our day at St Hugo sampling the food and wine were the absolute highlight of our visit to the Barossa.

AVOID being treated with contempt AVOID! Save your time and money - avoid this establishment. We arrived with a lunch booking, specifically planning to enjoy their wine tasting, only to encounter a maze of rigid policies and inflated prices. Despite having a lunch reservation, we were told wine tasting required a separate booking or an absurd 2.5-hour wait. Their explanation? None - they couldn't justify why tastings weren't possible at lunch tables, unlike some wineries in the area that even include complimentary tastings WITH lunch. The menu revealed equally disappointing pricing: $54 for a measly 250g steak, and their signature vintage was arbitrarily restricted to $20 pours while standard options were $13. A winery needs to show its expertise on even its cheapest vintages and not require an upsell. When we sought clarification from manager Connor about these policies, his dismissive attitude made it clear customer satisfaction isn't a priority - he offered zero solutions and treated our reasonable concerns as our problem. After Connor claimed they were "too busy" for tastings, we discovered the cellar door had only one group present - he'd blatantly lied to our faces. Their "premium" pricing doesn't match their subpar service. While my friend proceeded with lunch, I refused to waste money on such an overpriced, inflexible venue that treats customers with contempt. Do yourself a favour and visit any of the numerous other welcoming wineries in the region that actually value their guests.read moreread less

Spare no expense here: it is an investment for the soul.
TLDR: If I could rate this more than a 5/5, I would - this is hospitality at its absolute finest. Service, food, and wine - all class. Spend the afternoon here and bathe in tranquil, good vibes and a near-spiritual sensory experience.
Food: Not a fault in any dish. Culinary perfection from entrees to dessert. Paired with the wines that Fed picked out for us, you may as well be consuming manna from the heavens. One elevates the other.
We had the misfortune of having a vegan in our retinue, and the chef tailored a 4-course meal perfectly to his exacting needs.
Service: Fed made the experience the absolute highlight of our trip. Jovial, knowledgeable, accommodating: the best that hospitality has to offer. The rest of the staff were also a class act.
Atmosphere: Tranquil space surrounded by greenery. You’ll dine in absolute comfort with the surrounds of SA’s best.

World best This was an outstanding experience. From the moment we arrived at this beautiful winery with its ironstone buildings and architectural modern additions, we were cared for with grace and humor. A glass of champagne in front of a roaring fire was only the start. Chef, Simon Hicks, and his team were passionate about fresh, seasonal food with the emphasis on taste. The trip to the kitchen garden gave us insight into the philosophy that Simon is bringing to his food offerings, with the menu changing monthly to reflect the best seasonal produce. The experience of watching the chefs prepare our menu was theatre. The banter, knowledge and warmth made us feel special. Both the food and the matching wines were outstanding. We had some great vintages. The experience exceeded our expectations many times over. We loved it so much we have already booked the same experience for January, to showcase the Barossa to some American visitors. Well done to all at St Hugo. We travel the world and have never had better. We are very fortunate to have the Barossa and venues of this caliber.read moreread less

Beauty inside and outside at this Vineyard.
We walked in to an amazing space that was very inviting with the crackling of the fire and the smell of the amazing food that we were yet to eat.
The decor is beautiful - from the stone walls to the comfortable lounge chairs in front of the fire, to the sizeable windows that allow natural light to fill the space.
Then came lunch and of course the wine. The service was terrific, a little slow to get started but once the girls started they were fantastic and made sure we were made to feel very welcome.
Although the menu seemed restricted with choices it also was hard to choose from the selection as everything sounded amazing and tasted the same. WOW - delicious and the wine also complimented our meal.
The claim to fame for this place though for me was - THE BEST EVER CHEESECAKE I have had from a restaurant.... Seriously HEAVENLY.
Thank you St Hugo's - will definitely visit again when we come to South Australia.

Best wine tasting I've done. The wine was quality and the tawny worth every cent you pay for it. Did 3 tastings today and it knocked the other two out of the park for quality. Maso was incredibly knowledgeable about the science and history behind the grape growing, wine making and Hugo Gramp. Shame we didn't have more time to stay and enjoy a bite to eat. I'm sure it would have been amazing too. Hot tip: we went on Monday before lunch and it was just us. We got silver service as a result. I bet it is packed on a weekend

The best 4 hours I have ever spent at a winery. The Riedel Master Class and Lunch. The Riedel Master Class and Signature experience was brilliant. Masa showed us how a single wine can taste so differently just by how it is allowed to enter your mouth. We all gained a whole new approach to how we could better enjoy drinking wine. The private meeting room with the largest custom timber V shaped table I have ever seen, surrounded by floor to ceiling vintages of St.Hugo wines just elevates your expectations when you walk in the room. The journey you undertake for the next hour or so only disappoints when you have to leave.
We then had the privilege of having lunch in the beautiful St. Hugo dining room. The food is to die for and the staff are so friendly and attentive. You have to try the apple pie
Bravo Riedel and St.Hugo.

We were impressed as soon as we walked n to the dining room. The food and beverage staff were very accomodating, friendly and took care of all our requests. We had a few allergies and they were so kind in helping us. Including the chef who says hi 👋 when you walk pass the open kitchen.
We had a wonderful experience there and highly recommend that you pay the dining room a visit. The food is very well prepared and the chef took very careful steps

St Hugo Wines , they are Nestled in the beautiful Barossa Valley,

In addition to beautiful scenery and beautiful buildings, there is also great food here

Harmonious and unique sauces paired with fresh seasonal ingredients

Must do for a Barossa Visit Unfortunately due to staff constraints we were unable to do cooking class. However we were given plenty of notice and we’re accommodated differently.We still had a wonderful walking tour of garden with chef and front of house manager. With informative history of buildings and winery. We had a wonderful tasting experience. Followed by a 4 coarse lunch (with special extras from chef). Complementary wine with food, topped off by a complementary bottle to take home.
Staff were lovely, service exceptional and food amazing. Highly recommended.

A Memorable Wine Tasting Experience at St Hugo Wines A Memorable Wine Tasting Experience at St Hugo WinesRating: ★★★★☆
During my recent visit to St Hugo Wines, I had the pleasure of indulging in a truly memorable wine tasting experience. From the moment I stepped foot into the winery, I was greeted by a staff that exuded warmth, professionalism, and a genuine passion for their craft.
The staff members at St Hugo Wines were exceptionally polite and attentive throughout the tasting session. They not only guided me through each wine with eloquence and expertise but also shared insightful information about the winemaking process, the vineyard's history, and the unique characteristics of each vintage. Their wealth of knowledge elevated the experience, making it both educational and enjoyable.
The ambiance at St Hugo Wines was nothing short of enchanting. The crackling wood fire added a cozy touch, casting a warm glow that enhanced the serene atmosphere. It created the perfect backdrop for savoring the exquisite wines and immersing oneself in the beauty of the surroundings.
What struck me most was the peacefulness that permeated the winery. The tranquil environment allowed me to fully appreciate the nuances of the wines, savoring every sip in a serene and uninterrupted setting. It was a sanctuary of serenity, where time seemed to stand still, and the stresses of everyday life melted away.
The selection of wines at St Hugo was impressive, showcasing a range of varietals that catered to diverse palates. From elegant reds to crisp whites, each wine was a testament to the winery's commitment to excellence. Every sip was a revelation, with distinct flavors and impeccable craftsmanship evident in every bottle.
In conclusion, my wine tasting experience at St Hugo Wines surpassed my expectations in every aspect. The staff's polite and knowledgeable approach, combined with the serene ambiance and exceptional wines, made it an unforgettable journey of the senses. I wholeheartedly recommend St Hugo Wines to fellow wine enthusiasts seeking a refined and tranquil winery experience that delights both the palate and the soul.

Definitely worth a visit Had a wonderful wine tasting experience in the downstairs tasting room. Enjoyed every wine I tried (which rarely happens for me). Then upstairs to the dining room for lunch. Was a beautiful space, open and light but still cozy on a cold winters day (massive fire place helped). Food was excellent. Staff were friendly and attentive (Lauren, Fed and co.). Will definitely be going back.read moreread less

Stunning vineyard and great wines. The visitor's centre is visually appealing, extending an original wine shed. Restaurant meals definitely appeal to the premium end of the market. To be enjoyed with someone special.

Had such an incredible time at the St Hugo restaurant back in June 2022. All the food was just amazing and unique, combined with the great views and wine really made it an unforgettable experience.
Definitely is the perfect representation of a beautiful wine and dine in the Barossa, for locals and tourists alike.

Very disappointing Very average. We have visited before and came away very disappointed. We chose the 50 dollars per head wine tasting and the lady who attended to us was very nice but kept getting all the wines muddled and wasn’t sure what we were tasting at times. She was working alone and there were a few other parties in but at somewhere like St. Hugo’s it’s certainly not what was expected. We purchased some wine but won’t be heading back any time soon.read moreread less

We showed up without a booking for a wine tasting... Book before you go to be certain you get one. Staff were knowlegable. friendly and there is wheelchair access (lift) to an outdoor area that's stunning. Very clean. More reds to taste than whites.

A beautiful place, amazing experience We had a private tour/tasting and lunch with wine pairing at St Hugo's Vineyard in the Barossa Valley. It was a wonderful experience with Lewis, the vineyard's wine ambassador, who told us about the history of the Barossa Valley and the vineyard. Lewis taught us about the grapes and wines--a Riesling, Chardonnay, Shiraz, and Cabernet Sauvignon--and particularly how the taste changes depending on the glasses used, which was fascinating and instantly perceptible. After the session, we went upstairs for a lovely 3 course lunch with pairings, using our new-found appreciation for the St Hugo wines. It was a perfect day.read moreread less
