FAQ's
VISITING VINTELOPER
It's always recommended, because we love to know you're coming, but it is not required at all.
We always accept Walk-Ins.
We're not a restaurant.
However, we've intentionally curated a thoughtful menu of seasonal shared plates that encouraged you to linger.
It's a modern lunch vibe.
We also cover the other 'expected' Cellar Door food offering of cheese plates and charcuterie selections.
Not officially, but we will do our best to look after your kids.
Amongst the Vinteloper team there are plenty of little tackers, so we have some experience in this area.
Our freshly baked bread with some simple menu items tends to be a winner.
We have juice and soda too.
We're stoked to welcome your furry companions to Vinteloper!
We're dog people through and through, and we believe a day out is always better with your best mate by your side.
A few things to keep in mind:
- Outdoor adventures only: Dogs are welcome to join you in our courtyard and outdoor areas, but we kindly ask that they stay outside the Cellar Door.
- Leash up: Please keep your doggo under effective control at all times (we know they can get a bit excited when there's a new sniff to be found!).
- Livestock love (from a distance): We're a working farm, so you might spot some sheep or cattle (or Kangaroos) grazing nearby. Keep a close eye on your furry friend, as livestock and native animals can sometimes trigger dogs, which can be a bit risky for both parties involved. This is certainly the case with our dog Huss, which is why he doesn't come up to the farm.
- Boundary awareness: Our venue isn't fully fenced, so make sure your adventurous pup doesn't make a run for it onto the road or into the wider property.
We appreciate you being mindful of these points so everyone – two-legged and four-legged – can enjoy their time at Vinteloper.
Our Cellar Door is all about good vibes and easy access for everyone!
We are fully wheelchair accessible from our sealed carpark.
No need to worry about steps or thresholds here – our whole interior space is smooth sailing, making it super wheelchair-friendly.
Having learnt from experience we've gone to great lengths to protect our building from the threat of bushfire.
On days declared 'Moderate' or 'High' we trade our normal hours.
On days declared 'Extreme' we trade our normal hours.
On these days we monitor closely any fire activity in the Mount Lofty Ranges and may choose to close in the event of a Watch and Act Warning issued by the Country Fire Service for any incident in that region.
On days declared 'Catastropic' we will be closed.
Bookings will be notified and if necessary refunds issued.
Don't sweat it if you're not into the greatest drink on the planet!
We've got a killer line-up of non-alcoholic options to keep you refreshed and feeling good.
Think craft sodas, premium juices, and more. So come one, come all – there's something for everyone at Vinteloper!
We're all about making sure everyone feels welcome and has a great time at Vinteloper.
We do our best to cater to all dietary needs, but some are trickier than others. To be completely transparent, we do struggle to offer meaningful options to Vegans specifically. It's not a prejudice thing, it's just a really tough dietary for a place that has a menu heavily influenced by animal products.
Our wines are vegan friendly at least!
If you have specific requirements, please give our team a heads-up before your visit so we can make sure you're well looked after.
Yes we do.
Our reimagined water tank is excellent on those sunny days overlooking the vineyard. It can seat 14-16 people comfortably.
Our Cellar is also available by special appointment. Contact us by email for full into.
Sorry, but no.
The vineyard is a pristine farm environment.
You could track pests, diseases and weeds into our vineyard on your shoes and clothing.
Our vineyard is also a workplace. Dangerous machinery and equipment may be in use.
Please do not enter the vine rows.
Ask the cellar door staff about the best place to take photo of the vineyard.
Yes. We have limited capacity and we are mindful that wine is at the core of who we are and what. we do.
We are also conscious that a venue as architecturally stunnig as this cries out for such special occasions, so we are open to collaborating with you on your event needs.
We are currently accepting enquiries for Weddings and Private Functions for mid-late 2025 and the full 2026 season.
