Gastronomic Excellence in the Adelaide Hills

Sidewood Estate Restaurant captivates with its fusion of contemporary Australian flavours and native ingredients, masterfully paired with estate-grown wines. Executive Chef Jamie Carter draws from Asian influences honed in Hong Kong, creating dishes like burrata with quandong and Szechuan pepper jam, blue swimmer crab dumplings, and applewood smoked lamb ribs. The à la carte menu highlights seasonal Adelaide Hills produce, from woodfired pizzas to Atlantic salmon with miso beurre blanc, all crafted in a woodfired oven visible to diners.

Elegant Indoor and Outdoor Spaces

The jet-black cladded venue features local stone flooring, caramel leather banquettes, and walls lined with eclectic Australian artwork. Step out to the expansive hardwood deck shaded by a marquee with heaters, misting fans, and panoramic garden views. Weekend casual options include the Apple Shed Bar and Garden Bar, serving share plates and pizzas in 18+ courtyard or family-friendly lawn areas with pétanque courts and a children's nature play space.

Award-Winning Wines and Ciders

As a family-owned winery celebrating 20 years, Sidewood produces elegant cool-climate wines, including the Best Pinot Gris 2025 at Sydney Royal Wine Show.

Group set menus—3-course ($75pp), 5-course ($90pp), or Pizzas & Platters ($60pp)—cater to gatherings, with bookings essential for 10+.

Seasonal and Event Highlights

Menus evolve with seasons, like spring's light, fresh shared plates or winter reds curated pairings. Special events feature live music, sparkling wine weekends, and feasts.
