Makes Australian Dining History with Two MICHELIN Stars
Ultimate Winery Experiences Australia (UWEA) congratulates Penfolds Magill Estate Restaurant on an extraordinary achievement, becoming the first and only restaurant in Australia to be awarded Two MICHELIN Stars in the inaugural MICHELIN Guide South Australia.
This prestigious recognition places the restaurant among the world’s leading dining destinations and further elevates South Australia’s reputation as a world-class food and wine destination.
Nestled at the base of the Adelaide Foothills, Penfolds Magill Estate is a truly distinctive destination, bringing together exceptional cuisine, celebrated wines and more than 180 years of Penfolds winemaking heritage.
Led by Director and Chef Scott Huggins, Magill Estate Restaurant delivers an immersive dining experience where culinary creativity, genuine hospitality and a strong connection to place take centre stage. Every detail reflects the team’s commitment to creating memorable moments for guests visiting from across Australia and around the world.
For Penfolds, the restaurant represents a deeply personal expression of the brand, connecting visitors with its celebrated wines, remarkable history and the people behind them.
The recognition also extends to the wider Magill Estate culinary offering, with Magill Estate Kitchen included in the inaugural MICHELIN Guide South Australia selection.
Established in 1844, Penfolds has welcomed visitors to Magill Estate for generations. One of the world’s few urban vineyards, the estate remains an important part of the Penfolds story, with fruit from its historic vines contributing to Magill Estate Shiraz and, in selected vintages, the iconic Grange.
The combination of heritage, exceptional wine, outstanding hospitality and now this internationally recognised culinary accolade makes Magill Estate a must-visit destination for travellers seeking memorable food and wine experiences in South Australia.
At Ultimate Winery Experiences Australia, we celebrate destinations that go beyond the traditional cellar door, offering visitors meaningful connections with Australia's wine regions, their people and their stories. Penfolds Magill Estate Restaurant exemplifies this approach, showcasing the very best of Australian wine tourism.
Congratulations to Scott Huggins and the entire Magill Estate team on this outstanding achievement.
