This was an outstanding experience. From the moment we arrived at this beautiful winery with its ironstone buildings and architectural modern additions, we were cared for with grace and humor. A glass of champagne in front of a roaring fire was only the start. Chef, Simon Hicks, and his team were passionate about fresh, seasonal food with the emphasis on taste. The trip to the kitchen garden gave us insight into the philosophy that Simon is bringing to his food offerings, with the menu changing monthly to reflect the best seasonal produce. The experience of watching the chefs prepare our menu was theatre. The banter, knowledge and warmth made us feel special. Both the food and the matching wines were outstanding. We had some great vintages. The experience exceeded our expectations many times over. We loved it so much we have already booked the same experience for January, to showcase the Barossa to some American visitors. Well done to all at St Hugo. We travel the world and have never had better. We are very fortunate to have the Barossa and venues of this caliber.
