Sinclair's Gully Winery - Adelaide Hills

A BIG shout out to Sean for such an informative ‘Fizzology’ session. It brought back some very special memories of 14 years ago, and it is a must do, believe me! South Australia …….and … Sumatra are very lucky to have someone as dedicated and passionate as you. We will definitely be back a lot sooner between drinks. Thanks so much for having us. Cheers Helen and Katie 🥂

We had our wedding at Sinclair's Gully Winery in August 2025 and it was the most perfect day! When I first contacted Sue to enquire, she made the whole process seem so simple, which is what a bride to be wants! Sue was amazing to deal with, handled all my random enquiries, and made the entire process seamless and easy. We had such a fantastic day and would highly recommend having your wedding there.

We had our wedding here in 2020. The grounds are gorgeous (except for the random crap left laying about) but the owners' behaviour was appalling. The wedding was delayed by half an hour because of their terrible organisation skills. After promising that facilities were available to play our music, we arrived on the day and asked where it was and the female owner just grabbed a box full of cables etc and said "here it is, I don't know how to set it up". My friends were forced to set it up which delayed the ceremony. They then had the cheek to charge us extra for the extra time we stayed over what had been arranged. It took all our energy not to let it ruin our special day. Would not go back and definitely would not recommend a wedding here.

Stunning location set in bushland in the Adelaide Hills. The owners are extremely friendly and hospitable, producing a number of wines from grapes grown in the Adelaide Hills as well as the McLaren Flat region. We particularly enjoyed the Grumpy(er) Old Bastard and ended up buying a couple of bottles to take home with us. They are also available as a wedding venue and have live music at times during the summer months.

A wonderful place for our wedding and is well suited to any event. The staff are great at helping organise stuff, have plenty of contacts for photography, catering, entertainment and celebrants. You also can't deny having the cutest dog, hunter, is a bonus.

Great bush venue, come to taste some wine and grab a seat and relax under some gum trees too. Also has concerts durinf fringe or adelaide festival season.

We had a tiny weekday wedding at Sinclair's on a rainy week, after a rainy month. Suffice to say there was a lot of water about the place! But despite the need for umbrellas, sturdy footwear and warm coats, the little forest area our ceremony was held in looked absolutely magical in the rain and overcast skies. Sue and Sean are truly lovely to deal with. Their eco sensitivity with their property gifted us with a soaring candlebark forest that comes alive with the sound of birds and other wildlife. You feel like you're out camping yet really, Magill is like only 15 minutes away! Sue handles the logistics and planning and has a cheerful, loud and fun personality. Communications were prompt and almost every little tweak or request, including the several times we were late getting there, were accommodated with good grace. Sean was amazing, filling in potholes caused by the incessant rain and trying his best to divert the little brook that had suddenly appeared as a result of their overflowing dam. And Hunter is just a bundle of love. It's really important to note that this isn't a posh commercial winery that are a dime a dozen in the usual popular areas. It's a labour of love, with a conservation focus, and expectations need to be adjusted accordingly. What attracted us is the wildness of the place and we saw Sue and Sean more as boutique winemakers and conservationists who happen to have a really lovely, unique and accessible setting for weddings. Which brings me to why this isn't a 5 star rating even though we have zero regrets. A five star rating means there is nothing to improve. Yes, things could be made more schmick, facilities could be less rustic, service could be less casual. But that's not the vibe they're going for I think, and what you see is what you'll get. Lovely people who are passionate about their land and conservation, with a generosity of spirit, and a little enchanted forest. I'd give 5 stars just for that, however reviews are for helping people make informed choices, so here it is.
