14. K1 By Geoff Hardy
In 1986, fifth-generation winemaker Geoff Hardy – a descendent of wine industry pioneer Thomas Hardy – established this cool-climate vineyard in the Kuitpo region of the Adelaide Hills.
The family-owned and operated winery was named K1 because it was the first commercial planting of vines in the region.
K1 By Geoff Hardy’s winery estate has a decidedly alpine feel.
Guests arrive via an avenue of trees to a lakehouse that houses the charming cellar door, which is centred around a handcrafted wooden bench crafted from a 400-year-old red gum and has a decidedly alpine feel.
Enjoy a tasting of K1’s single-vineyard wines and a cheese platter on the deck overlooking the lake, or book a horse ride through the vines with Bluestone Equestrian Centre (subject to availability).
Inside the charming lakehouse, you’ll find the cellar door. (Image: Andrew Correll)
