South Australian culinary and wine tourism recognition

Overview

South Australia’s hospitality and wine tourism sectors have received significant industry recognition. Initial accolades included the 2026 Restaurant & Catering Hostplus Awards for Excellence, where Hentley Farm Restaurant was named Restaurant of the Year. Additionally, Esmay was recognized as South Australia’s Restaurant of the Year by Gourmet Traveller.

Building on this momentum, the region’s profile expanded with eleven wineries and wine tourism businesses being shortlisted for the 2027 Best Of Wine Tourism Awards. The state’s culinary standing was further highlighted by thirteen local venues appearing in Gourmet Traveller’s 100 Best Restaurants in Australia for 2026. Looking ahead, the MICHELIN Guide is scheduled to unveil its first-ever South Australian restaurant selections in October.
