Sidewood Estate

Sidewood Estate

6 River Rd, Hahndorf SA 5245

Set amongst a stunning mix of eucalyptus and landscaped gardens, the Sidewood Restaurant is only a 25-minute drive from the CBD. The luxury landmark's vast jet-black cladded exterior and 45-degree pitch gable roofline stands in contrast to warm, natural materials of the interior, including giant Victoria ash trusses, local stone flooring and warm caramel leather banquettes. The venue also features an eclectic collection of Australian art, including the works by Oslen, Blackman, Boissevain and Grey Smith.

Head Chef Ali Seedsman offers up a delectable Australasian menu, meticulously designed to highlight the exceptional fresh, local produce of the Adelaide Hills and surrounds. The interior flows outside to an enormous hardwood deck catering to small and large group dining, under the shade of our marquee, with in-built heaters for chilly winter days and misting fans to keep you cool in summer. Watch our Chef's hand-stretch freshly made dough and create mouth-watering pizzas and breads in our wood-fired stone oven.

Take your Sidewood adventure to the next level with our range of unique experiences. From tasting paddles, VIP luxury day beds to lawn bowls and children's nature play, we have something to suit the whole family.

Though our history is short, Sidewood has achieved five red-star accreditation from James Halliday and in 2016 became the largest eco-sustainable winery in the Adelaide Hills.

Cellar door for a Wintry Sunday morning tasting. Superb experience, Jacob our fabulous knowledgeable host gave us the run-down on a surprisingly fabulous range of wines. Fresh champagne style bubbles through to deep reds and a striking Port as well. Lighter style of Adelaide Hills wines that at times surprised me with their complexity and depth. We purchased 2 whites and 2 reds and received a little birthday gift as well (Thankyou Serena). Highly recommended!

Our experience at Sidewood Estate was wonderful and the feedback from all in attendance was positive and all gave a glowing report. The 1 hour tasting session was well worth the experience and the food was absolutely amazing. I will definitely recommend your restaurant and facility to others.
The service was slightly slow however both the restaurant and decking areas were full so that is to be expected. Amazing food and wines.

It's a really nice spot and quiet enough considering its proximity to the main road. The pizzas were nice and reasonably priced. My only issue was the mark up on their own wine was ridiculous, around 120%.

Lovely experience at Sidewood Estate. The food is consistently great and generous in size, and they have an excellent variety of wines (which are yummy too). This is a great addition to the Adelaide Hills and is a relaxing way to spend a sunny weekend. The service was also top-notch from Remy.
My only suggestion would be to recommend adding more fans on the deck and potentially changing the ceiling/roof material as it was very hot and radiated heat at only about 25 degrees. We will be back!

We had an absolutely brilliant lunch. The food and wine was excellent - such lovely distinct flavours. Ali does a brilliant job.
Our waiter Leanne was attentive and funny. We will be back and highly recommend Sidewood Estate Restaurant to everyone!
