Last weekend, the Adelaide Hills welcomed an exciting new hotspot for foodies and spice lovers alike. Gewürzhaus is the ultimate haven for herbs, salts, peppers, teas, sugars, and more, and they have just opened their second Adelaide store in picturesque Hahndorf.
Gewürzhaus, pronounced “Ge-voorts-house” and meaning “Spice House” in German, was founded in 2010 by sisters Maria and Eva and their mother, Gabi. Their first store was in Carlton, Victoria, on the lively Lygon Street and featured spices from all over the world.
“We are delighted to be part of this beautiful heritage town. Cooking from the home and heart has always been an integral part of preserving traditions for four generations in our family. We can’t wait to share our passion and products with Hanhdorf customers and inspire them to create new recipes and traditions,” shared Eva.

In 2020 Gewürzhaus saw a successful opening of their first Adelaide shop, located in the Adelaide Central Market. Now, Gewürzhaus has opened 14 self-scoop stores nationwide, continuing its mission to inspire creativity in the kitchen.
The latest addition to their lineup of stores can be found on the main street of the historic township of Hahndorf, next to the Hahndorf Academy and Adelaide Hills Wine Bar. The stunning store not only has a fantastic lineup of herbs and spices but also dips, condiments, homewares, gifts and more.

“We are an authentic German company, inspired by true German cooking. Our founders have German heritage, so bringing the store to Hahndorf makes sense,” shared store manager, Katherine.
The Hahndorf store is a journey that comes full circle for the brand. With the founders’ German roots, they are sure to fit right into the town.

“There’s nothing else like this in Hahndorf. There are plenty of cafes, and places to get hot dogs and pretzels, but Gewürzhaus is something different for the town.”
As we head towards the festive season, Hahndorf comes to life. With boutique retailers to suit everyone’s wishlist, there’s no better time to get ahead on your Christmas shopping. Head to Gewürzhaus to find the perfect gift or stock up on spices to make Christmas dinner perfect.

“There are a lot of easy cooking options for every level of experience here. We have really good quality service and quality homewares, lots of gifting options for the festive season as well, handmade ornaments from Europe, try before you buy spice packs, and heaps of recipe inspiration for every cook or baker.”
If you’re familiar with the Gewürzhaus store in Adelaide Central Market, you’re sure to recognise the fantastic aromas that come with all the spices.

“The highlight of the store would have to be the way it smells. Honestly, you can smell it from out on the street, we have daily tastings and between being able to smell all the spices and taste some of them, it really gives you a good idea of how Gewürzhaus, and our products, can fit into your daily lives!”
Gewürzhaus is open daily from 10am to 4:30pm, with hours set to be extended with the upcoming Christmas Markets.
