Sidewood Fire & Wine (Winter Reds)

Come visit us at Sidewood this Winter Reds.

Storytellers Distillery are running a cocktail bar, showcasing a range of cocktails that pair Sidewood's range of red wines with Storytellers' Gin.

Settle into Sidewood's garden surrounds and enjoy a welcoming winter atmosphere complete with open fires, comforting food and a vibrant soundtrack that evolves with the afternoon.

A complimentary glass of Sidewood Estate wine is included on arrival for adults, setting the tone for an easy, indulgent day out in the Adelaide Hills.

Kids will receive a hot chocolate and a goody bag upon arrival with face painting and plenty of games available for the afternoon.

Held across two relaxed daytime sessions, Fire & Wine brings together open fires, woodfire cooking, Sidewood wines and live DJs in the heart of the Hills.

With plenty of shelter, glowing fires, gas heaters and cosy blankets throughout the estate, it’s the perfect setting to sip, savour and celebrate winter with friends and family.

Indulge in comforting dishes, including classic charcoal-roasted porchetta, Pinot-braised lamb cobb loaves, wood-fired pizzas and seasonal vegan options like roasted pumpkin casserole. Our cellar door will be open as usual for tastings and Sidewood wines, and a selection of local gin and craft beer will be available over the bar.

Gather your crew, rug up and join us at Sidewood Estate for a warm winter celebration of food, wine, and community in the Adelaide Hills.

Cocktails & Stories

🍸 World Gin Day Cocktail Masterclass at Prospect Hotel & Cellars

In honour of World Gin Day, we're thrilled to be hosting our very first cocktail masterclass!

Over the course of the evening, you'll be guided through the art of crafting four carefully selected gin cocktails, each paired with a small bite designed to complement what's in your glass. Whether you're a seasoned gin lover or just starting to explore the spirit, this is a hands-on, hosted experience designed to be as enjoyable as it is informative.

Think great gin, great food, great company....and the satisfaction of knowing you made it yourself.

Spaces are limited, so we'd recommend securing your spot early. This is the first event of its kind at the PH&C, and we fully intend to make it memorable.

We can't wait to welcome you. 🍸

Behind the Bottle, Taste, Shake and Make with South Australian Spirits

A Bartenders Weekender event by South Australian distillers.

Step into the story behind SA’s spirits where every pour is boldly crafted, unashamedly different and distinctive to what grows here from our grains and grapes, to our botanicals and local ingredients. South Australia has become the spirits region to watch in Australia, with SA producers taking out half of the major awards at the Australian International Spirits Awards and the Sydney Royal Distilled Spirit Show in 2025, among previous awards for World's Best Gins and Whiskey's.

Expect a lively, hands-on atmosphere designed for experimentation (yes: free tastings and cocktails made with SA spirits) and genuine conversation with the people behind the bottles. Meet and taste with 15 South Australian distilleries, discover new pours across whisky, gin, brandy and liqueurs, and swap menu ideas directly with the makers. Level up your knowledge and make-your-own cocktails from SA spirits from the back bar with the spirit makers and Cry Baby crew on hand with plenty of suggestions along the way.

Plan to stick around post event to enjoy SA spirit drinks specials thanks to those who mix with the best, Fever Tree and South Australian distillers.

Free event. Limited to 100 guests with a waitlist. RSVP to avoid missing a spot on the guest list!
