Our restaurant concept Hester is a joint wine & food collaboration born out of an acknowledgement of our collective family history & namesake; Hester has many meanings in different derivative language forms, for us it is both a familiar & distant ancestors that remind us of the necessary change that dictates our lives & our place in history.

We currently focus our energy on building close ties of innovation between foraged & estate agriculture, good food & wine within our Estate boundaries with a paramount focus on quality over quantity.

Our team has designed & developed our renovated 1880’s cottage restaurant space and our contemporary styled Pavilion events space for casual warm-weather dining, small celebrations, weddings, corporate events & the enjoyment of our Piccadilly Valley wines developed & pioneered by Dr Paul Anthony Henschke, his family, friends & associates.

We are transitioning into new and exciting food & beverage menu options as we continue to explore and honour our Adelaide Hills produce & wild game driven dishes, stay tuned, the next generation are only getting started.
