The Kies family arrived from Silesia in 1857 and has been growing grapes in the utopian hamlet of Lyndoch ever since.

In the 1980s the family opened their winery cellar door at the entrance to the Barossa, just north of Lyndoch, and has since been a place where the European traditions of open door welcomes and hearty laughs have reverberated.

Now fifth generation hosts Michael and Tina Kies have expanded the small ironstone cottage cellar door to include a café, tea centre and function area, providing a one-stop destination for Barossa visitors.

The warmth and honesty of family life are important values for Michael and Tina and they encourage their visitors to slow down, relax, chat and be part of the Kies culture for as long as they wish.

Michael and Tina's children, Bronson, Jesseca and Jordan are proud sixth generation Kies and an important part of the team. Bronson has recently returned to the family business and works alongside his parents managing the dynamic Kies portfolio. When not studying, Jesseca and Jordon can be found guiding visitors through the extensive range of Kies wines in the cellar door, or waiting on guests in the Monkey Nut Cafe.

Whether you are an excited car load heading into the Barossa for the day or heading home with smiles on your faces, you’ll always be welcome to share your stories and a glass of wine with the friendly Kies family at Kies Barossa Valley, Lyndoch.
