We’re thrilled to share that Mount Lofty House & Estate has been named 2026 Best Of Wine Tourism Award winner in the Accommodation category for Adelaide, South Australia. This recognition celebrates the quality and diversity of our state’s wine tourism and places our Estate among the standout experiences in the Adelaide Hills.
What this honour means to us
This award acknowledges the way our Historic House and Estate connects guests with the Adelaide Hills—through immersive stays, thoughtful concierge curation, and a deep sense of place shaped by our vineyards, valley views, and regional partnerships. It recognises accommodation that doesn’t just provide a beautiful room, but opens the door to cellar doors, makers, and landscapes that define South Australia’s wine country. The judges commended Mount Lofty House & Estate for “crafting our operation into a regional wine tourism hub,” which perfectly captures our purpose.
Representing Adelaide on the world stage
As a regional winner, we’ll proudly represent Adelaide, South Australia at the Global Best Of Wine Tourism Awards in November, competing alongside the world’s most celebrated wine regions. It’s an exciting moment for our team—and for the Adelaide Hills—showcasing the hospitality, creativity, and warm welcome our region is known for.
