Main and Cherry Cellar Door, located at Chandlers Hill, is a fantastic family-friendly winery just a short drive from Adelaide city. Offering a unique experience for both parents and kids alike, gosh we love a quality outing like this when there is also something special for the kids to eat and a few activities to entertain them.

With the most gorgeous panoramic views of vines and the Gulf St Vincent you will be feeling instantly relaxed on arrival and ready to kick back for an afternoon of grazing, acoustic tunes, wine tasting and lawn games. The beautiful knowledgeable staff will have you sorted in no time at all, yep, this is the perfect spot for families looking to enjoy a day out.

The wines are small batch and distinctive. Made with a whole lot of gentle love and nurturing by award winning winemaker Michael Sexton. They are vibrant and bright and celebrate the authentic naturally occurring characters of each variety and vintage. We loved our Sunday session frozen Rose to kick off – how perfect on warm day!

The cellar door was undoubtedly designed with families in mind, offering a creative and delicious kids’ menu that will keep little people happy. You can’t go wrong with the Picky Plate or Chicken Nuggs, both served with potato crisps and a cute chocolate on the side for dessert, plus these meals come with a juice box. Now, don’t expect the kids to sit around for too long – ours danced and played games on the lawns, took Uno out to one of the picnic rugs, enjoyed spotting ducks and even a donkey down in the vines before somehow gathering up two soccer teams for a bit of winery lawn community fun.

Next time we will bring our kite!

When it comes to outdoor space, Main and Cherry Cellar Door truly shines. There’s plenty of room for kids to burn around and be kids, making it easy for parents to relax with a glass of wine while their little ones play safely. The picturesque grounds are ideal for a laid-back afternoon. Adding to the welcoming vibe, Main and Cherry also hosts a great line-up of acoustic musicians, creating a lively yet relaxed atmosphere perfect for a family outing. Check their socials for details.

It was only upon departure that we realized they also offer craft beers, so we did the right thing and took a four-pack home to enjoy later!

Main and Cherry is a fantastic spot for family celebrations or to catch up with friends – kids in tow. Whether you’re there to enjoy the food, music, or simply the great atmosphere, this winery has everything you need for a beautiful quality, memorable day out. Even the coffee was brilliant!

  • Find it at: Cnr of Blackwood Park Blvd and Champion Way, Craigburn Farm Based around the existing trees in the Blackwood Park Estate this play space is an adventure haven. As soon as you arrive you see this amazing tall red climbing structure nestled among the trees. As we got closer I was nervous for the kids already up the top but they we just LOVING it. I watched the kids climb the rope stair case or strategically weave in and out of the ropes to find the openings to gain access to the rope bridge that leads to an awesome twister tube slide. My parent friend who joined me at the park with his son couldn't resist the temptation and had to see what all the fuss was about so took the plunge with the kids. View was awesome the slide was dark, fast and FUN. Lets face it we all have the inner child still within. I was happy to keep an eye on the kids and keep my feet firmly on the ground! Whilst the rope climb is the centre piece of this awesome new play space there are lots of other pieces of equipment for the…
