We’re incredibly proud to announce that Kies Family Wines and the Monkey Nut Café have both been named finalists in the 2025 South Australian Tourism Awards!

“To be recognised in two categories at the highest level of tourism in South Australia is mind blowing,” said Jesseca Rosé Kies, Marketing Manager and sixth-generation family member. “Our team truly do the impossible every day… they are the real finalists.”

A Proud Barossa Legacy

The Kies family has called the Barossa home since the 1860s, and we remain proudly family-run to this day. From our vineyard and cellar door, to the Monkey Nut Café and Kies Teas, we welcome over 60,000 visitors each year with a focus on sustainability, accessibility, and authentic Barossa hospitality.

We’re also thrilled to be ranked the #1 Attraction on TripAdvisor for the Barossa Valley — a reflection of the incredible support from our guests.

What’s Next?

The winners of the 2025 South Australian Tourism Awards will be announced later this year, and we’re honoured to be in such great company.

Thank you to our amazing team and loyal visitors — this recognition is yours as much as ours!
