Father’s Day Winery Lunch Ideas in the Adelaide Hills

There’s no better way to spoil Dad this Father’s Day than with a long lunch among the vines. Whether he’s the type who loves a big family day out, a fine dining experience, or just a quiet glass of red in good company, the Hills have something to match. Here are a few of our favourite winery experiences to book (or wander into) for Sunday 7 September.

Golding Wines, Lobethal
Set among rolling vines and olive groves, Golding Wines is hosting a three-course Father’s Day lunch with all the trimmings. Think hearty, seasonal dishes, award-winning wines, and a relaxed family-friendly vibe. The gardens are perfect for a post-lunch wander while Dad lingers over a glass of Shiraz.

Longview Vineyard, Macclesfield
Longview always delivers when it comes to a good long lunch. Their Father’s Day feast includes Italian-inspired shared plates and matching wines, served against the backdrop of one of the most spectacular vineyard views in the Hills. A great choice if Dad loves a long table full of food, laughter, and wine flowing. Reserve your table at Longview

Ondeen, Verdun
If Dad loves his lunch with a side of luxury, Ondeen is putting on a special Father’s Day event. Expect beautifully plated dishes, a polished cellar door setting, and estate wines that show off their cool-climate character. A little more refined, but still warm and welcoming. Book Father’s Day at Ondeen

The Lane Vineyard, Hahndorf
Not doing a Father’s Day lunch, but their Chef’s Table experience makes the perfect gift. Treat Dad to a five-course degustation with matched wines, all set in the heart of the vineyard. Book it in for later and you’ll have Father’s Day sorted with something unforgettable. Gift The Lane Chef’s Table experience

CRFT Wines, Carey Gully
Want something more low-key? CRFT offers an intimate cellar door tucked away in the Hills. No big fanfare, just small-batch wines and warm hospitality. Perfect if you’d rather “see how you feel on the day” and pop in for a relaxed tasting. Plan your visit to CRFT Wines

Barristers Block, Woodside
One of the most kid-friendly wineries around, Barristers Block is a winner if you’ve got little ones in tow. Dad can settle in with a wood-fired pizza and a glass of red while the kids run wild with farm animals and wide-open lawns. A stress-free option the whole family will love. Book a family table at Barristers Block

Deviation Road, Carey Gully
This one’s a twist on the traditional lunch. Instead of Sunday, take Dad out the Thursday before (4 September) for their Wine Dinner with Fino Vino. Think elegant wines paired with some of SA’s best contemporary food — perfect if Dad’s more into mid-week dining than Sunday crowds. Book the Deviation Road x Fino Vino Wine Dinner

Ashton Hills, Piccadilly
If Pinot is Dad’s passion, book him a private tasting with winemaker Liam Van Pelt. Ashton Hills is renowned for producing some of the best Pinot Noir in the country, and this experience gives Dad a chance to go deep into the craft. Arrange a private Pinot tasting at Ashton Hills

Between the Vines, Longwood
Another relaxed walk-in option if you don’t want to over-plan. Between the Vines offers a laid-back cellar door with approachable wines, friendly owners, and beautiful valley views. Sometimes the best Father’s Day is the one that unfolds naturally. Drop by BTV

Sinclair’s Gully, Norton Summit
For something different, pack a picnic blanket and book into Sinclair’s Father’s Day event with live music in the bushland setting. It’s casual, intimate, and has a lovely community feel — a real Hills-style celebration. Book Father’s Day Picnic at Sinclair’s Gully

Fox Creek Ride + Anderson Hill, Lenswood
If Dad’s into mountain biking or gravel riding, start the day with a pedal at Fox Creek, then roll over to Anderson Hill for wood-oven pizza and a pint. A perfect pairing of adventure and reward. Book a table at Anderson Hill after your ride

From long lunches with sweeping vineyard views to casual tastings, bike rides, or picnics in the bush, the Adelaide Hills has Father’s Day covered. Book a table for the whole family or keep it spontaneous — either way, Dad’s in for a treat.
