About Sidewood Estate Restaurant

Sidewood Estate pairs Adelaide Hills dining with laid-back lawn life just outside Hahndorf. Settle inside by the stone fireplace for the multi-course Feed Me menu—think Coffin Bay oysters, duck terrine, and butcher-cut wagyu poured alongside estate cool-climate wines. Or head out back to the Apple Shed and courtyard, where friends gather over wood-fired pizzas, local cider, and bocce rounds while kids explore the playground.

  • Dual Dining Spaces: Choose between multi-course regional chef menus fireside indoors or casual wood-fired pizzas out on the deck and courtyard.
  • Feed Me Like a Local: The estate showcases local Adelaide Hills growers through multi-course tasting menus paired with estate cool-climate pours.
  • Lawn Games & Playground: Spacious lawns feature bocce courts, outdoor fire pits, and a dedicated children's play area.

  • Regional 'Feed Me' Chef Menus

    Multi-course 'Feed Me Like a Local' share menus showcase regional Adelaide Hills produce with dedicated wine pairing advice from cellar door sommeliers.

    A party of five we opted for the “Feed me Like a Local” on the menu. This is a share menu and at $75 was extremely good value.

  • Tailored Indoor & Deck Ambience

    Guests can transition seamlessly between intimate indoor dining and casual outdoor settings across the timber deck, courtyard, and Apple Shed.

    With multiple areas to choose from, it’s worth noting that menus can vary slightly depending on where you’re seated, so picking your space ahead of time helps shape the kind of experience you’re after.

  • Romantic Fireside Winery Dining

    Couples enjoy date nights and anniversary celebrations set beside glowing indoor fires with table candles and thoughtfully matched estate varietals.

    From the moment we walked in we were greeted by the lovely Indie-jayewho seated us in a lovely spot by the fire. She had set the table with both flowers and candles and wished us a happy anniversary.

  • Lawn Games & Courtyard Pizzas

    Spacious lawns and open courtyards let friends share wood-fired pizzas and craft cider over casual rounds of bocce and fireside lounging.

    We always enjoy relaxing in the courtyard and playing a few rounds of Bocce with a glass of cider and wood oven pizzas from the Apple Shed.
