Adelaide Hills’ Sidewood Estate has recently been awarded the title of Best Regional Restaurant by Adelaide Dining Magazine, recognising its top-tier dining experience. The award was presented at a special event held at Mount Lofty House this month, where the best and brightest in South Australian hospitality were celebrated.
“It’s an honour to receive this recognition. Our staff are constantly striving to create the best experience,” the Sidewood Estate team said on the award.
As well as winning Best Regional Restaurant this month, Sidewood Estate was also recognised in September with the Best Culinary Experience award from Great Wine Capitals, and within this, was further praised for its Sustainable Wine Tourism Practices.
And it’s no wonder why. Under the expert guidance of Executive Chef Hugh Choi, the restaurant offers a menu that showcases the finest, freshest local produce. From hearty meats and fresh seafood, to beautifully balanced vegetarian dishes, each plate is an absolute masterpiece, expertly paired with Sidewood’s award-winning wines.
Surrounded by eucalyptus trees and lush gardens, Sidewood Estate’s restaurant is in the heart of nature’s serenity. The striking architecture, featuring a jet-black exterior and warm interior materials, creates a super stylish space, complimented by an eclectic, cultural art collection, with works by renowned Australian artists.
The restaurant has a range of seating options, from indoor dining and a deck area, to an 18+ outdoor courtyard with day beds and lounges, as well as a family-friendly garden area. Sidewood’s large hardwood deck has seating for both small and large groups, with the option to dine under a shaded marquee, complete with warming in-built heaters for winter, and cooling misting fans for summer.
Summer is an especially great time to visit Sidewood Estate, and with the festive season approaching, the winery is gearing up for a busy, but super fun period. One great event happening throughout December and January is their Sunday Sessions, featuring live music each weekend, an outdoor bar serving wood-oven pizzas, and of course, a selection of delicious Asian inspired dishes, cheese boards and drinks.
If you’re stopping by on a Friday evening, be sure to take advantage of Sidewood’s Pizza & Cocktail specials. From 5:30pm to 7:30pm, enjoy mouthwatering wood-fired pizzas for only $20 and sip on refreshing cocktails for just $15. Guests can pair their meal with a selection of Sidewood’s fine wines, craft ciders, and local beers.
To celebrate the festive season, Sidewood Estate is extending its opening hours, adding Mondays to its schedule during December and January. The additional days are December 23rd and 30th, and January 6th, 13th and 20th from 11:30am to 5pm. The restaurant is also open for lunch from Wednesday to Sunday, with dinner service on Friday and Saturday evenings.
