About Katnook Coonawarra

Katnook is an award winning winery located in the heart of Coonawarra in South Australia. Katnook Cellar Door is open daily for free tastings and cheese plates.

Rich in heritage and tradition, Katnook is a James Halliday 5-star awarded winery located in Coonawarra in South Australia, one of Australia’s finest wine regions. Established in 1867 by Scottish immigrant John Riddoch, Katnook Estate is one of the oldest existing wineries in the regions and its vineyards stretch over 155 hectares on the famous terra rossa soil strip that runs through Coonawarra.

Katnook produces a premium, iconic Odyssey Cabernet Sauvignon and Prodigy Shiraz, its flagship Katnook Estate range and the more contemporary Founder’s Block range. These wines epitomise Katnook’s philosophy of crafting wines from carefully selected parcels of fruit that offer great intensity of flavour, fine balance and integrity of regional and varietal character.

Katnook wines have garnered countless international and Australian awards including the prestigious Jimmy Watson Trophy – twice. Currently two Katnook wines are listed in the prestigious Langton’s VII Classification of Australian wine and Katnook is rated 5-star in James Halliday’s Wine Companion 2020.

A visit to Katnook Estate will give you more than a tasting through delicious wines – it’s also a journey through a century of winemaking history. Katnook is the oldest existing winery in the region and John Riddoch’s beautiful historic buildings
have been restored and converted into our Cellar Door.

Visit and enjoy a free personalised tasting of Katnook’s award winning wines and sample a delicious selection of cheese and local produce.

Adjacent to Cellar Door is our ‘terra rossa pit’, where you can see Coonawarra’s famous soil profile and learn why it is so important to wine flavour. You are welcome to bring your own picnic and enjoy in our dedicated outdoor area overlooking the vines, or in winter, relax in our comfortable lounge area and enjoy a glass of wine and cheese platter in front of the open fire.

The Katnook experience is so highly regarded by visitors that it is rated at the top of Trip Advisor’s list of “things to do in Coonawarra” and is consistently awarded a Certificate of Excellence.
