As the name so gracefully suggests, Kies Family Wines is a family-owned business that has origins dating all the way back to 1985, when founders Ken and Tina Kies established the winery. Since its establishment, the winery has garnered a pristine reputation for producing delectable wines that have been recognised and praised by James Halliday, such as its 2014 Dedication Shiraz, which was awarded an exceptional 95 points.

Kies Family Wines specialises in premium and unoaked red wines, producing just over ten wine varieties a year. The company proudly nurtures riesling, merlot, shiraz, cabernet sauvingnon and frontignac wines from vine to bottle. With a number of accolades to its name, Kies Family Wines has also been awarded the 2008

Australia Post Tourism Award in the Small Business Category – a testament to the winery’s immersive experience. More recently, Kies Family Wines was awarded a Certificate of Excellence in 2020 from TripAdvisor as well as being a finalist for the South Australian Tourism Awards the same year.

The sixth-generation family and team of knowledgeable staff will make you feel like part of the family with their innate passion for the single vineyard and estate-grown wines.
