Events

We’re open all June long weekend at Simon Tolley cellar door, and it’s the perfect excuse to settle in for a relaxed winter visit in the Adelaide Hills.

Enjoy live music from local legend Jaymarr on Sunday between 1pm and 3pm, setting the tone with easy-going acoustic sessions and good winter energy.

Warm up by the fire, share generous grazing boards, and tuck into freshly made jaffles straight from the kitchen.

Various wine tastings are available all weekend, featuring cool-climate favourites best enjoyed slowly on a crisp June day.

No surcharge across the long weekend – just good wine, good food, and good company.

Bookings are recommended to secure your table. Come up, get cosy, and make a day of it.

Simon Tolley Cellar Door is available for private events, offering a relaxed and memorable setting for your next gathering. You can book our beautiful sundeck for an intimate experience, or reserve the entire cellar door for the day. To find out more and check availability, email info@simontolley.com.au

Celebrate Chardonnay May at Simon Tolley Cellar Door with a Deep Dive Tasting designed to showcase why this varietal thrives in the Adelaide Hills. For $20 per person, this guided experience explores the nuance, diversity, and craftsmanship behind one of the region’s most beloved wines.

Throughout the tasting, you’ll learn about Chardonnay clones and how they influence flavour, texture, and structure. Our team will guide you through a curated selection of wines, each highlighting different expressions shaped by clone, site, and winemaking approach. It’s a rare opportunity to understand how subtle differences in vine genetics and vineyard conditions can create remarkably distinct styles.

The Adelaide Hills is renowned for producing elegant, balanced Chardonnay thanks to its cool climate. Crisp acidity, refined structure, and layered complexity are hallmarks of the region, and this tasting brings those qualities to life in the glass. Whether you enjoy fresh, mineral-driven styles or richer, more textured expressions, you’ll gain a deeper appreciation for what makes these wines so special.

As part of the Adelaide Hills Wine Region’s Chardonnay May celebrations, don’t forget to bring your Chardonnay Trail passport and collect a stamp during your visit. It’s the perfect way to explore and experience the region.
