Was over from Perth and made our way to Sidewood as part of a day trip around Hahndort and surrounding vineyards. We arrived slightly early to the Sidewood cellar door but they came out and greeted us as they were setting up and allowed us in the venue 15mins before scheduled opening time. Hosted by James we chatted all things wine and he was great along with being extremely knowledgeable in the wines and more so the surrounding areas. We had a rough itinerary for the day but was happy to change due to a James suggestions and boy did they pay off. He recommended another couple of wineries that weren’t on our radar that made our day, thank you James. We took home a bottle of the Tyre Fitter Syrah. Was very impressed with several wines. A must visit if you are in the area.
The wines themselves were absolutely delicious, with plenty of standout favourites. It was the perfect way to spend an afternoon in the Adelaide Hills, surrounded by beautiful scenery and great hospitality.
Highly recommend a visit, and if you're lucky enough to be hosted by James, you're in for a real treat!
Will definitely recommend to just pop in for some tasting and take a bottle home.
My favourite is the mappinga Shiraz, very balanced peppery with depth in it
Very warm and welcoming service from Serina, hope I didn’t misspell her name
Couldn't fault a thing with the way Izzy greeted, hosted and educated us throughout the day.
We were given a service that was catered to us :)
Would rate/ 10.
The tastings are usually charged but if you spend over $30 per person in the store it's free.
Big recommendations from us were the sparkling Shiraz and the surprise entrants of the apple and pear ciders.
The pours were subsequently minuscule, only 4 were shared which seemed like a rip off for a paid tasting, and we learned little about the wine. There was a definite hostile atmosphere which made our whole group awkward and put a dampener on what had been a fantastic day (Cobb’s Hill and Petaluma were phenomenal).
We couldn’t get out of there fast enough, and we won’t be going back any time soon! What a shame as it’s beautiful wine and a gorgeous cellar door, if a little over-run by young insta-obsessed kids!
