Hesketh Wines is a proudly independent, family-owned wine company based in the Adelaide Hills. With over sixty years of family experience in the Australian wine industry, the Hesketh story is one of persistence, evolution, and a commitment to crafting wines of character and value. Founded by Jonathon and Trish Hesketh in 2006, the winery produces a diverse range of cool-climate wines, sourced from their own vineyards and a network of dedicated growers across the Adelaide Hills, Coonawarra, Clare Valley, and beyond.
With a strong focus on varietal purity and regional expression, the Hesketh portfolio includes crisp whites, elegant reds, and sparkling wines, all crafted under the guidance of a highly experienced winemaking team. Whether working with fruit from the Piccadilly Valley or Coonawarra, the Hesketh philosophy remains the same—great wine, made with care, and best enjoyed in good company.
The Hesketh Cellar Door is located at Grünthal, a vibrant destination in Verdun offering a relaxed and welcoming experience in the heart of the Adelaide Hills. Guests can enjoy a wine tasting flight in the cosy indoor space or unwind with a glass of wine outdoors beside the Onkaparinga River.
Beyond tastings, visitors can stay for a casual lunch from the on-site kitchen, pair wines with a Udder Delights cheese flight, or sample a refreshing beer from the in-house Grünthal brewery. The experience is informal, family-friendly, and ideal for those wanting to explore the Hesketh range in a beautiful and social setting.
