Ashton Hills Vineyard

What a beautiful spot! Beautiful sunny day in September, we decided to go for a drive and visit a winery, so glad we chose Ashton Hills. Lovely reds, Gamay and Pinot, and beautiful views. We will he back!

We live 15 minutes from the Adelaide Hills and have tried almost every winery there is. I have to say without a doubt this is truly the best - the wine, the comfy coziness with the fireplace, everything was incredible! We also had the funniest bloke serve us with such an incredible knowledge of wine, I couldn’t rave about this place more if I tried! Truly, if you’re tossing up between here and another winery - GO HERE!

Had another truly wonderful cellar door experience at Ashton Hills Vineyard. Been going there for about 10 years, and each time is memorable but the last two years have been especially exceptional ever since we decided to relax by the fireplace, sit back on the old leather Chesterfield, and taste wines along with some charcuterie. Much has changed in the past 10 years (for one, the winery has gained even more of a cult status for its sparkling Shiraz and Burgundian grape varieties), and I miss the good old days when you could walk in anytime and their sparkling Shiraz is readily available to taste (including back vintages); nowadays, supply is very much limited and it's best to be a wine club subscriber to access the hard-to-get wines. The highlights, in my opinion, are still their sparkling Shiraz, and rosé, but their Pinot noir and Chardonnay can be exceptionally good too, especially their Reserve and Estate wines (made in very small batches). The cellar door manager since they re-opened after winter is extremely knowledgeable and friendly, and he makes you feel truly welcome in their cosy tasting room overlooking beautiful undulating hills planted with grape vines and fruit trees. Although recently refurbished, it has retained its rustic charm and atmosphere.

We enjoyed a lovely cellar door Wine tasting here with Rohan who was very nice and detailled with explaining us the vines and the ashton hills background. The View to the vineyard while tasting was Stunning. Also the online booking was perfectly smooth. Absolute recommendation!

Got recommended to visit Tamara from the team at Penfolds. Wow. A beautiful property on a beautiful day. It was very busy but Tamara was so welcoming and knowledgeable. A highlight of our trip. A must visit A+

If you’re a pinot / chardonnay fan, Burgundy swayed in your taste, Ashton Hills is the spot for you in South Australia. Their wines are sourced from their own vineyards and from other local growers. Wines are always deliciously complex yet easy to drink, well crafted, and they always speak of place. Cellar door staff are fun and knowledgeable and it’s a top spot to relax with a glass and some snacks.

Went for the Pinot but the Riesling and Chardonnay were also oustanding examples of their grape variety. A wonderful tasting of outstanding wines and well worth a visit

Great tasting experience of quality wines. And 2 lovely dogs to keep you company (Shelby and Floyd) 😁. Well worth a visit

we have been to Ashton Hills on numerous occasions for tasting. the staff are incredibly knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. We have taken a number of interstate guests there and they were very impressed. the wines are exceptiona.

What a nice surprise. No touring cars, just honest wines served in a shed next to where the grapes are grown. Loved the pinots and eventhe sparkling shiraz. Definitely great local boutique wine that focuses on australian market at affordable prices.

A beautiful quaint cellar door offering an authentic experience. We visited on the weekend and felt so welcome and the owners and staff are very knowledgeable and friendly. best Pinot Noir in the Adelaide Hills

Arguably the best Pinot Noir in the State. True, the winery is pretty basic and rustic but its all about the wine.

I have visited and enjoyed Ashton Hills Wines by Stephen George over the last 20 years. Stephen is the consummate artisan winemaker who has made his vision for top quality Australian wines, particularly Pinot, a reality. Even though visitors to the Cellar Door might find the rustic charm a little "yesterday" in this modern world of huge corporate backed companies in the wine world, the "proof is in the ...drinking!" Thanks Stephen George for keeping true to your vision and giving us Aussies quality wines at affordable prices. JG

Rude and unfriendly. Signage is bad, hard to find. The 2012 Pinot reserve is pretty good. Expensive at 60$.
