Kid-Friendly Dining in the Barossa

We know dining with children can be tricky – but not here. The Monkey Nut Café offers a relaxed, welcoming environment with plenty of options for little eaters and big appetites.

Our children’s menu is filled with family favourites, and we’ve got high chairs, room to roam, and friendly staff who love welcoming kids.

Outdoor Space and Vineyard Views

What sets the Monkey Nut Café apart is our stunning location. With sweeping vineyard views, outdoor seating, and fresh country air, it’s the ideal place to let the kids stretch their legs while you enjoy some well-earned downtime.

We supply lawn games, a tree to climb, a kids menu and colouring in. We’ve got the space and the sunshine to make it a day out to remember.

Wine Tasting for the Grown-Ups

While the kids enjoy a milkshake or homemade treat, parents can visit the Kies Family Wines Cellar Door just next door. Choose from a Sparkling Sensation wine flight, premium reds, or a tasting of fortifieds. There’s no need to book – just wander in and enjoy a sip of the Barossa while you’re here.
