The South Australian cellar door models five-star inclusion and accessibility, and is a jewel in the state’s crown of outstanding wine tourism experiences across 18 distinct wine regions.
In 2025, Kimbolton Wines earned recognition at the prestigious Great Wine Capitals Best Of Wine Tourism Awards for its outstanding accessible tourism, with thoughtful touches at every turn.
The cellar door, crafted from repurposed shipping containers and timber, warmly welcomes guests with accessible parking, a dedicated drop‑off zone, a paved, step‑free entrance, and wide doorways.
Owner Nicole Clarke’s commitment to creating an inclusive and accessible wine tourism experience extends well beyond physical access: visual‑tasting cards, plain‑English guides, braille signage, glare‑free lighting to assist lip‑readers, bathrooms with grab rails, and flexible food options to accommodate dietary needs.
Families and furry friends are warmly embraced too. Kids can entertain themselves with games on the lawn, and there are dog‑friendly outdoor areas. Guide‑dogs and service animals are explicitly welcomed.
Nicole says, “At Kimbolton, we believe that wine tourism is about more than just great wine; it’s about offering a complete experience. Whether you’re savouring a glass of wine on our stunning rooftop deck, indulging in one of our regional platters, or enjoying a tailored tasting experience with family, we strive to make every moment special…We hope to see you soon at Kimbolton Wines, where great wine, inclusivity, and sustainability come together to create something truly special.”
With sweeping vineyard views from an accessible rooftop deck, Kimbolton demonstrates that hospitality should – and can – include everyone. Their award‑winning, inclusive experiences prove that great wine is best enjoyed in a setting built around community and empathy for all.
Adelaide, South Australia is a proud member of the Great Wine Capitals Global Network. Home not only to excellent and innovative wine tourism experiences, it is also a wine innovation hub with Australia’s leading viticultural, education, research and development institutions.
