The Story of Anderson Hill

The Anderson family's farming legacy began in the early 20th century when Peter Anderson moved from Scotland to South Australia in search of a better life for his family. This commitment to hard work and dedication continues to thrive in the family today.

Vines at the Pinnacle of South Australia

Anderson Hill is a family-owned winery located in the Lenswood sub-region of the Adelaide Hills. Established in 1994 by Ben Anderson and his father, the vineyard sits at an impressive elevation of nearly 600 meters, making it one of the highest and coolest wine-growing areas in South Australia. The winery has gained recognition for its exceptional wines, including the Anderson Hill O-Series Shiraz, which was awarded 'Best in Show' at the Decanter World Wine Awards in London in 2020, ranking it among the top 50 wines globally.

We recently had our Christmas party here! Reserving the lower area/level for 25 guests. Sampling wines a range of food options, and excellent service, all that couldn't be complained about!! My thoughts/experience, from my time spent here.... Such a beautiful place from the time you drive up the entrance road, a beautiful structure, a feature that just blends so well with its surrounding environment. Fully open structure with full length balcony, views uninhibited. The scenery different from every area and angle you look from! Stepping out from the open dining room onto the large upper area of circular space of lawn, a paved area with a huge wood fire pizza oven, leads down to a large, lower more private area, (both areas can be catered for whatever your needs). This lower area is backed by natural high banks filled with cottage style plants and native trees, providing adequate shade and places to sun yourself. The garden sprinklers are lovely when turned on for a hot day providing more coolness especially with a breeze. The vines are only a stone throw away, with resident chickens making an appearance, roaming through them. Was so peaceful and relaxing taking all thoughts away, just feeling grateful for the surrounding beauty. There is many a place to be found to escape on your own for a while, an intimate date or a group function, catch up, or celebratory occassion and more. The menu boasted fresh seasonal ingredients for their dishes and at a very reasonable price. Was a good diverse selection alongside their so very tasty pizzas! Their pumpkin arancini was delish! Staff were very friendly, accommodating, helpful and knowledgeable in their products and given the choice to sample first. Anything needed, was not to much for them to do!! Highly recommend!

Food Experience Adelaide

We had an amazing opportunity to dine at Anderson Hill Cellar Door and Restaurant on Valentine's Day. Overall, it is safe to say that the food was beyond amazing. We thoroughly enjoyed their food and customer service. Our server for the day, Will, was very nice and welcoming. I'm sure the other customers found him to be the same thing. The small plates came out pretty quick while the big plates took longer but that's fine. Given that it was Valentine's day when we visited, it's understandable. The views and the ambiance of this place gave some sort of relaxing aura where we found ourselves just daydreaming while staring at the vineyards, soaking the warm sun and breathing the chilly air. It was such a memorable experience.

This outstanding winery deserves an absolute top rating. On a romantically situated hill, you can overlook the typical landscape of the Adelaide Hills. In the hot and dry summer, you can find suitable cooling here with an extremely friendly hostess (family business). The home-produced wines can definitely compete internationally with German wines. In combination with a rich plate of various tapas, for example, you can stop off for lunch. Wine lovers will get their money's worth here. The entire location, consisting of the wine bar, garden, terrace and large restaurant room, are all tastefully designed and date from 2010 and 2018 respectively. Attention: Huber Taxi is a quick and inexpensive way to get there - you have to resort to the traditional taxi on the way back.
