The sprawling Penfolds Magill Estate in Adelaide Hills, just 15 minutes by car from Adelaide city centre, opened the Magill Estate Kitchen in June 2015 to offer visitors more wining and dining opportunities.
The Magill Estate Kitchen is also available for corporate hire, and its sun-lit, wooden interiors make it a suitable venue for casual get-togethers. It can accommodate 60 guests seated or 200 people for a cocktail party setting.
Dining, canape and wine packages are available for event planners to choose from. All dietary requirements can be catered for with prior notification.
While smaller groups can book the Magill Estate Kitchen for a gathering over brunch or lunch seven days a week, private hires are only accepted in the evenings. Private hires require a minimum spend of A$6,000 (US$4,448) from Monday to Thursday, A$8,000 on Friday and A$10,000 on weekends.
In addition to the Magill Estate Kitchen, the winery also offers a degustation experience in its Magill Estate Restaurant (seats 54 guests), canape-style parties in various locations such as the Magill Estate Gallery (seats 40 for meals or 80 for cocktails), and a nine-course tasting menu for 24 people in the Max Schubert Cellar.
A structured Penfolds Tour and Wine Tasting programme is available as an add-on to a main event. It can take up to 60 guests and costs A$16 per pax. – Karen Yue
