Skillogalee Estate Family-owned winery estate with historic restaurant, cellar door & cottages in the Clare Valley, SA.

Established in 1970, the family-owned Skillogalee vineyards and winery have been releasing award-winning hand-crafted wines for over 50 years. Our grapes are grown in our own sustainably managed vineyards and produce wines with an exceptional expression of place. We grow a range of grape varieties include Riesling, Cabernet Sauvignon, Shiraz, Gewurztraminer, Chardonnay and Muscat. Still family-owned, the vineyard is driven by our love of high-quality wine that expresses its natural terroir. Sustainably grown and carefully managed, our grapes allow for wine with full-bodied flavours that have won numerous awards, both locally and internationally. Overlooking the vineyards, natural bushland and picturesque rolling hills of the Clare Valley, are Skillogalee's charming historic Restaurant and Cellar Door, located in the original stone settlers’ cottage built in 1851. Open daily for over 30 years, they have become a cherished destination for generations of people from around Australia, and around the world. We welcome you to visit us 7-days a week for wine tasting, morning tea, lunch or afternoon tea and enjoy a relaxing break sampling some of the best food and wine in the region.

Three dishes from a very special evening for Skillogalee.

Chicken Liver Parfait ‘Mont Blanc’, Green Strawberry, Crystallised Cocoa

Heritage Asparagus, Sorrel, Pollen, Caviar

Skillogalee Gummies, Riesling, Cabernet, Gin & Tonic

We were proud to be part of the evening. Coming home with our first MICHELIN Star made it one we’ll remember for a long time.

Thank you to our team for all the preparation and care that went into each dish.

Skillogalee has been awarded one MICHELIN Star.

Last night, we were recognised in the inaugural MICHELIN Guide South Australia. We’re incredibly proud of our team and what this means for Skillogalee and the Clare Valley.

This recognition belongs to the whole Skillogalee team, past and present. Our kitchen and front-of-house teams, and the people working across our vineyard, w**ery, cellar door, garden and property, all have a part in what makes this place special. Thank you for the care you put into it every day.

To our growers, producers and suppliers, thank you for everything you bring to our table. And to everyone who has joined us at Skillogalee over the years, thank you for your support and for being part of our story.

Thank you to MICHELIN for this recognition, and congratulations to our fellow South Australian restaurants recognised last night.

We look forward to celebrating with you.

We’re incredibly proud to share that Skillogalee has been named Cellar Door of the Year at the 2026 Clare Valley W**e Show.

This recognition belongs first and foremost to our exceptional cellar door team, whose warmth, knowledge and genuine hospitality create such memorable experiences for our guests every day.

It also reflects the many people behind the scenes who make those experiences possible, from our vineyard and w**ery teams to the kitchen, gardens, accommodation and everyone who helps care for the estate.

A special thank you to Priscila and Iris for accepting the award on our behalf today. We're incredibly proud of you both, and of the entire Skillogalee team.

Our thanks to the Clare Valley W**e & Grape Association for another fantastic Clare Valley W**e Show and for celebrating the people and w**es that make this region so special.

Thank you to everyone who has visited us, shared a tasting, enjoyed a meal or stayed with us. We look forward to welcoming you for many years to come.

There are some views that never get old.

A big thank you to our guest John, who stayed at Wren Cottage, for sharing these incredible drone photos of the estate. Seeing Skillogalee from above offers a different perspective, from the vineyards stretching across the hills to the dam full once again after a welcome run of rain.

You might also notice the straw and compost around the base of some of the vines. It's part of our ongoing sustainability program, with each vineyard block treated over time to help retain moisture through the long, dry Clare Valley summer while gradually returning organic matter to the soil. The compost is made here on the estate using marc from our annual vintage, together with biodynamic compost teas.

We always enjoy seeing Skillogalee through the eyes of our guests. Thanks again for sharing these beautiful images, 📷 John.

Skillogalee Restaurant welcomes Chef Ryan Clift as Executive Chef.

With a career spanning more than three decades across Europe, Australia and Asia, Ryan Clift has earned an international reputation for thoughtful, innovative cooking and some of the world's most respected restaurants.

After training under legendary chefs including Marco Pierre White, Peter Gordon and Emmanuel Renaut, Ryan moved to Australia, where he became Executive Chef of Melbourne's acclaimed Vue de Monde, helping shape one of the country's defining dining destinations.

In 2008, he founded Singapore's pioneering Tippling Club, which earned repeated recognition among The World's 50 Best Restaurants and Asia's 50 Best Restaurants, becoming one of the region's most influential restaurants.

Following almost two decades in Singapore, Ryan has chosen the Clare Valley for his return to Australia, where he will lead the next chapter of Skillogalee Restaurant.

We look forward to welcoming Ryan and his wife Chloé to the Clare Valley.
