About Kingsford The Barossa

Tucked away just 45 minutes from Adelaide, Kingsford The Barossa is an iconic 225-acre retreat on the edge of South Australia's renowned wine country. Once home to a wealthy nineteenth‐century pastoralist, the estate has been reimagined following a multi-million dollar redevelopment, now offering an exclusive 16‐suite experience alongside a striking new lodge that celebrates the very best of the Barossa – fine wine, artisan produce and shared moments.

Further elevating the estate's culinary offering, renowned chef Jake Kellie has joined as Culinary Director of Orleana Restaurant. Known for his bold, fire‐driven cooking and globally recognised career, Kellie brings a fresh, immersive dining experience that showcases the region's exceptional produce while complementing the rich heritage and landscape of Kingsford.
