Exceptional Food, Wines, and Warm Hospitality at St Hugo
What an incredible day at St Hugo in the Barossa Valley! The Garden to Table experience felt less like a formal wine tasting and more like spending the afternoon with good friends who just happen to be amazing chefs and wine experts. We started with a glass of Champagne and a stroll through the vineyards to the Kitchen Garden, where Adrian walked us through how they grow and use the produce on their seasonal menu. It really made us appreciate how much thought goes into every dish. Back at the restaurant, we were seated right at the open kitchen, watching the Executive Chef Simon Hicks and his skilled team at work while enjoying a beautiful four-course menu perfectly matched with St Hugo wines. The food was fresh and full of flavour, and the pairings couldn’t have been better. Offering alternative dishes to suit dietary requirements. Seeing the professional response to special requests for dining room guests and whipping up amazing cheese platters at short notice for the cellar door. The lamb cutlets were tender and delicious. The custard tart with gelato prepared from scratch in house was the stand out dish. Amazing. What really stood out, though, was the atmosphere — it honestly felt like a five-hour lunch with close friends, full of laughter, great conversation, and shared stories over incredible food and wine. A truly special experience — relaxed, intimate, and full of heart. I’d do it again in a heartbeat. Highlight of our long weekend in the Barossa Valley 🍷✨
Response from the operator: We really appreciate you taking the time to share your review with us- it is lovely to read your words, especially around the feel of the Garden to Table experience. I know our team take such pride in creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere for all of our guests, I will make sure I pass on your review as I know they will love to read it.

Don't miss this opportunity!
Perfect day at St Hugo's. Started off with a guided tour of the garden and estate with Executive Head Chef Simon Hicks accompanied by a glass of bubbly. Simon gave a great insight into history of the winery and his own extensive chef adventures around the world. Next we were presented with a table overlooking the kitchen where we were treated to one of the most stunning food experience I've ever had, perfectly matched with St Hugo's finest wine varietals. Thank you Simon and the team. Shout out to Ricky for the fantastic food preparation.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for visiting St Hugo and for sharing your Garden to Table experience with us- we have loved to read it was one of the best food experiences you have ever had, what a compliment for the team!

Exceptional!
What an amazing wine and food experience at St Hugo cellar door. Surrounded by beautiful vineyards our small group was taken on a tour of the grounds with a bottomless glass of French champagne before being taken into the restaurant for the most divine five course degustation meal accompanied by St Hugo‘s most superb wines. Our table backed immediately onto the kitchen so we could watch head chef Simon Hicks and his team create delicious plates for us to devour. Simon was extremely generous with his time and meaningful chats about his professional life, the restaurant game, wine, and everything in between! I cannot wait to go to St Hugo Vineyards and cellar door again. Highly recommend!! I give it ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Response from the operator: I'm not sure there is anything better than to see a 6-star review come through!! We really appreciate you taking the time to share back your experience with us and how much you enjoyed your time with Simon. I hope we can welcome you back again soon to St Hugo!

An experience not to be missed!!!
St Hugo’s “Garden to Table Experience & Lunch” is for those who seek more than a meal. It started with a walk through the Kitchen Garden where chef Simon Hicks talked to us about the produce and the vines. Once inside, we were seated within arm’s reach of the kitchen and watched Simon and his team in action. We were able to engage with the chef throughout the meal, gaining insight into techniques, ingredients, inspiration and with lots of laughs along the way. With a profound dedication to seasonal and locally-sourced ingredients, he emphasises uncomplicated dishes. The sommelier guided us through an impeccable selection of wines, each enhancing and elevating the dish it accompanied. From the moment we arrived, it was clear this wasn’t going to be just a lunch; it was a curated experience that blended food, wine, and storytelling.
Response from the operator: What a wonderful review for our Garden to Table Experience! Simon is a wonderful host and I'm so happy to hear you enjoyed your time with him- I also love it being described as a curated experience which is exactly what we set out to do!

Why this scores 59
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
St Hugo Garden to Table Experience & Lunch: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Adelaide.
How much does St Hugo Garden to Table Experience & Lunch cost?
+
Prices start at $197 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Adelaide usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does St Hugo Garden to Table Experience & Lunch take?
+
Plan for about 3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Adelaide is not rushed.
Is St Hugo Garden to Table Experience & Lunch worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 59 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 20 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Adelaide, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule St Hugo Garden to Table Experience & Lunch?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is St Hugo Garden to Table Experience & Lunch suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book St Hugo Garden to Table Experience & Lunch?
+
Around 7 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Adelaide can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Adelaide and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does St Hugo Garden to Table Experience & Lunch start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Adelaide within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Adelaide?
+
On Outty we rank every Adelaide experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Adelaide Highlights, Hahndorf & McLaren Vale Wine Tasting and Sightseeing Tour, Premium Barossa Small Group Tour: Wine tasting, Lunch & Chocolate, Barossa Valley Hop-On Hop-Off Wine Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Adelaide?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Adelaide?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in St Hugo Garden to Table Experience & Lunch?
+
Included: Alcoholic beverages; and Lunch. Not included: Transportation to/from attractions. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
What languages is St Hugo Garden to Table Experience & Lunch offered in?
+

Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for St Hugo Garden to Table Experience & Lunch?
+

Is St Hugo Garden to Table Experience & Lunch wheelchair or stroller accessible?
+
