We visited the Kies Family Winery on our winery tour and only wished that we had more time to enjoy the ambience. They offered a beautiful selection of wines and I particularly loved their rose. For those that ordered more the shipping cost was exceptional.

I recently attended the Kies Family Wines venue, as part of a Bums on Seats Barossa Valley Food and Wine Tour. We had pre-arranged lunch at the venue followed by wine tastings. The food portions were a little small but nice, and Monkey Nut Cafe staff were great and fast. The winery staff were also fantastic, being flexible with those who had different palettes etc. Overall the whole place was wonderful, well kept grounds and facilities - all in all a very good experience and one I will repeat on another occasion. Thank you for looking after us.

We went on a tour of Barossa/Hahndorf Unfortunately we were very unimpressed with our visit to Kies Winery. We were expecting Wine Tasing in the Barrel Room followed by lunch in the restaurant. On arrival we were left standing around before being herded into the restaurant where they said they ‘should have’ a table for the group and tasting would take place there. I asked a Kies staff member why we were not tasting in the cellar and was told another group had arrived early. I would assume all groups have secured a booking and perhaps the other group should have had to wait their turn or they could have been sent to the restaurant. Also having placed our lunch orders shortly after being seated we waiter almost an hour and a half for food. Very unimpressed. Coming from WA we are lucky enough to have the Swan Valley and amazing wineries of the South West close by and the standard there is miles ahead of our Barossa experience.

The charm of the place and the people welcomes you once you set foot into the door, it was as if we were locals and the conversations just went on like long lost friends. The wines were superb with layers of stories behind their origin coupled with other historical elements explains the staff. The only thing I wished was there was more souvenirs that I could buy to remind me of the place. If ever in the area you should drop by.
