We’re over the moon to share that the Monkey Nut Café has been named a finalist in the 2025 South Australian Tourism Awards!

This is the highest level of recognition in our state’s tourism industry, and to be standing alongside some of South Australia’s best is an incredible honour.

“Our team truly do the impossible every day, welcoming a huge amount of visitors and delivering incredible experiences,” said Jesseca Rosé Kies, Marketing Manager. “They are the real finalists and we are so lucky to have them.”

A Barossa Favourite

Located in the heart of the Barossa Valley at Kies Family Wines, the Monkey Nut Café has become a go-to spot for locals and visitors alike — known for hearty meals, friendly service, and views that never get old.

Whether you’re here for a long lunch, a quick bite after wine tasting, or one of our signature events, we aim to serve up genuine Barossa hospitality in everything we do.

Thank You!

With over 60,000 visitors welcomed each year across the Kies Family Wines complex, we’re so proud to be part of an experience that keeps people coming back. A huge thank you to our amazing team and wonderful guests — this recognition is all thanks to you.

Winners will be announced later this year, so stay tuned!
