Overview
Wine runs deep in the Leask family's veins.
With a deep commitment to regenerative agriculture and soil health, Hither & Yon takes a holistic approach to sustainability — nurturing the land as much as the vines. Their philosophy encompasses climate-appropriate grape varieties, biodiversity management, the restoration of native corridors, and low-impact viticulture practices. The result is a collection of vibrant, expressive wines that celebrate the character of McLaren Vale — best experienced at their cellar door in the historic village of Willunga.
Located in the town's original 1860s butcher shop, the cellar door blends historic charm with a warm, welcoming atmosphere. Original slate floors and limestone walls offer a cosy retreat by the fireplace in winter, while the sunlit courtyard becomes a favourite in the warmer months.
Guests can enjoy a curated seasonal wine flight featuring five sustainably grown wines, or stay a little longer to explore one of the bespoke experiences that they offer— from the Willunga Wander walking tour to private events and the relaxed High Street Brunch.
Hither & Yon's passion is to craft artisan wines with a lighter footprint — better for the earth, and better for you.Tours
Seasonal Wine Flight
Enjoy a selection of five wines from Hither & Yon's list - this is updated seasonally. They offer a mix of white, rose and reds.
The original Willunga butcher’s shop was built in the 1860s, but the cellar door still retains its local slate flooring and limestone walls. The cellar door is styled to reflect the artisan approach to growing and making our wine from vine to table, making you feel at home whether you come for a look, a sip, or a glass and a platter.
They offer wine-tasting and build-your-own cheese platters, as well as more substantial lunch options from Willa Cafe next door. After grazing at the farmers market and perusing the local shops, sit back and relax with Hither & Yon wines by the glass.
A very intimate space. Groups of 8 or more must make a booking in advance.
Seasonal wine flight fee is redeemable on any 2 bottle purchase (per person) . This experience is for all groups of eight people or less.
