Hentley Farm Restaurant (One Michelin Star): Getting There, Booking & Transport
Hentley Farm in Seppeltsfield now holds One MICHELIN Star, the only one in the Barossa. Menus, prices, booking rules and how to get there for lunch without a designated driver.
Hentley Farm Restaurant is a lunch-only fine-dining restaurant at Hentley Farm winery in Seppeltsfield, in the Barossa Valley, open Thursday to Sunday. On 14 October 2026 it was awarded One MICHELIN Star in the first MICHELIN Guide South Australia (2027). It serves multi-course tasting menus with wine pairings, and the full Discovery Tasting Menu runs for about 3.5 hours. That length is why getting there and back is the part most visitors forget to plan.
We are Barossa & Light Cab Service, a local Barossa transport company driving visitors around the valley since 2001. This guide covers what to book, what it costs, and how to get to Hentley Farm without anyone in your group missing the wine pairing.

What Is Hentley Farm Restaurant?

Hentley Farm’s Michelin Star
Hentley Farm Restaurant received One MICHELIN Star when the first MICHELIN Guide South Australia 2027 was revealed in Adelaide on 14 October 2026. It is one of ten one-star restaurants in the state, alongside a single two-star venue, Magill Estate Restaurant, and the only starred restaurant in the Barossa. Nearby on Seppeltsfield Road, FINO Seppeltsfield received a Bib Gourmand.
“We come to work and just do what we love doing. And getting an accolade for that is a massive achievement, especially for me and my team.” Kyle Johns, Executive Chef, speaking to South Australian Tourism
The star comes on top of local awards. The restaurant was also named South Australia’s Restaurant of the Year in 2025 and 2026 at the Restaurant & Catering Hostplus Awards for Excellence. The cellar door is a separate space, hosted in an 1840s heritage cottage on the same property.

- Secure the table: Credit card details are required. Petite Discovery must be prepaid.
- Flag dietary needs: Tell the restaurant about allergies at least 14 days before your visit. The kitchen will not change dishes for personal taste or lifestyle diets such as Keto or FODMAP.
- Check the age rule: Children under 14 and prams are not accommodated, and there is no children’s menu.

How to Get to Hentley Farm
Hentley Farm is at the corner of Gerald Roberts Road and Jenke Road, Seppeltsfield, about an hour’s drive from Adelaide. Hentley Farm’s directions are to take the Northern Expressway, exit the Sturt Highway at Greenock/Seppeltsfield, turn right onto Seppeltsfield Road, then follow the signs from the corner of Gerald Roberts Road to the Cellar Door & Restaurant.
Driving yourself
Driving works only if one person skips the wine. South Australia’s blood alcohol limit for full licence holders is 0.05, and a Discovery lunch with the Luxury Wine Pairing lasts about 3.5 hours. Someone at the table pays $270 and drinks water.
Taxi or chauffeur from the Barossa towns
If you are staying in Tanunda, Nuriootpa, Angaston or Lyndoch, a local Barossa taxi is the simplest option. Book the return pickup at the same time. Rideshare and taxi availability in the Barossa is thin compared with Adelaide, and a long lunch often finishes mid-afternoon when local cars are already booked.
Private transfer from Adelaide
From Adelaide CBD, the airport or a cruise ship, a private chauffeur collects you, waits or returns for you, and drives you home after lunch. Groups of up to 11 travel together in our minibus.
Helicopter
Hentley Farm publishes helicopter GPS coordinates on its contact page (34° 29′ 36″S, 138° 54′ 38″E). If you are flying in, see our helicopter tour ground transport service for the drive to and from the pad.
Transport Options Compared
| Option | Everyone can drink | Return trip guaranteed | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Drive yourself | No | Yes | Groups with a non-drinker |
| On-demand taxi or rideshare | Yes | No, availability varies | Short hops if you are flexible |
| Pre-booked local taxi | Yes | Yes | Guests staying in the Barossa |
| Private chauffeur or minibus | Yes | Yes | Adelaide day trips, groups and celebrations |
