Bird in Hand

Beautful spot for a lazy weekend. Great wine good amenities eg picnic blankets, iced water, water for your dogs. Staff however not very inviting! It was a busy Saturday and our group of people were not welcomed it was as if they had enough customers and would prefer if we left. Such a Shame as it had nearly everything Going for it… However you need good service!

Beautiful winery and beautiful wines… however the staff could learn some customer service skills. I drove some friends to their cellar door only to be served by a rude gentleman who didn’t explain or tell us what wines we were tasting and when we asked a question he made rude comments or tried to make fun of us, then halfway through the tasting a lady took over who was a lot friendly and more knowledgable about the wines. I did fine it off putting staff eating at the wine tasting bar whilst serving and having a staff member stuff a hot chip in her mouth mid sentence. This was my second visit to the cellar door an on both occasions received less then average service… I will not be returning. If you’re looking for an alternative sparkling, Lambrooks give bird in hand a run for their money

Cool place, had a DJ playing the weekend we stopped buy. Personnel was probably a bit busy and stressed for top marks. Still, great place!

If you enjoy good quality wine, you must visit Bird in Hand. The wine is delicious & the staff provide friendly service! Perfect place to relax and enjoy yourself with picturesque views.

Bird in Hand is a definite highlight on any Adelaide Hills wine tour, or if you’re just checking out woodside, buying cheese and apples make sure you drop by.
The setting is immaculate, manicured lawns, sandstone walls and wrought iron garden furniture tell of a level of finish which can be found both aesthetically and on the palette when you taste their finely crafted wines.
Their flagship and biggest seller is the Bird in Hand sparkling, it’s a pinot noir and holds a wonderful blush colour from being left on skins. The 2011 vintage I tried today is a little drier than the 2009 we’ve been drinking for sometime now. It still has faint cherry and strawberry notes and the clean crisp finish is there with just the right acidity. Possibly my favourite drop to kickstart a celebration.
All the other wines are very worthwhile also, so take the opportunity and try them out for yourself.
The barrel shed is a great venue for functions and special occasions and there is even a foosball table in it currently!

I want to get married at the Bird in Hand Winery. I love the area, it is beautiful. I swear I have been here every time of year and it is always amazing. There are large outdoor areas, including a seating area, a large grass area and the vines themselves.
There is an indoor function room and other facilities. The winery’s website outlines all the details of holding a function, including a wedding, there. I would recommend having a look at these if you are considering doing so.
Now their wine. I first sampled their wine at the Norwood Food and Wine festival when my friend told me it was a must. I immediately fell in love with their whites. I drank solely this for at least a year. However, I must say I have not drunk much of it in recent years. It is no longer my favourite, however, it is always a good choice. I must say that I am not a fan of their sparkling wines– but no-​ones perfect!
