About Orleana Restaurant
Tucked away only 45 minutes from the bustling city centre of Adelaide, this iconic property is set on 225-acres. On the edge of the breathtaking wine country of South Australia and once home to a wealthy nineteenth-century pastoralist, nothing rivals the exclusive access to our 16-suite retreat. The property has recently re-opened after a two year, multi-million dollar redevelopment, designed to give guests a taste of the best the Barossa can offer, such as fine wine, artisan-grown produce and good times shared.
Renowned Chef Jake Kellie has joined the Kingsford team, as Culinary Director of Orleana Restaurant.

Kellie’s bold, fire-driven cooking style and immersive approach to dining is in perfect synergy with the vision for Orleana, a restaurant designed to showcase the depth of produce in the region and complement the legacy and landscape of the Kingsford Estate.
