About Reillys Wines Restaurant
Indulge in a gourmet long lunch featuring the freshest local produce and estate wine at Reillys Wines Restaurant on the corner of Leasingham Road and Hill Street in Mintaro. Set within a historic slate cottage built in 1856 by Irish shoemaker Hugh Reilly, this Clare Valley destination combines cellar door charm with a refined dining experience showcasing Reillys wines. Reillys is a dedicated gluten-free kitchen, led by coeliac chef Luke, with a focus on becoming a leading destination for gluten-free dining. Every dish is carefully crafted with attention to flavour, safety and inclusivity, ensuring all guests enjoy a complete dining experience without compromise.
A few words from Reillys Wines Restaurant
We are proud to announce that Reillys Wines Restaurant is now recognised as a Slow Food South Australia member, and has been accepted into the prestigious 'Snail of Approval' program!
This globally recognised program aims to inspire producers, chefs and food businesses to use and promote the Slow Food principles of 'Good, Clean and Fair' food from our regions. Learn more about the program on the Slow Food South Australia website.
Reillys is now a dedicated gluten-free kitchen, with a focus on becoming a leading destination for gluten-free dining. Led by our coeliac Head Chef Luke Smith, every dish is thoughtfully crafted with care, so everyone can enjoy the full dining experience.
Luke has more than seventeen years' experience as a chef and a lifetime in the hospitality industry. After initially training in the Whitsundays, Luke has gone on to gain extensive experience working in the luxury lodge sector, where he specialised in providing high quality food for discerning clientele in intimate settings. This experience has been central to Luke's development as a chef:
"I've had lots of freedom, and this really helped me to develop my skills. It also means I don't follow trends, and have a very open mind about food and cooking styles. I don't see myself as being defined by one culinary style — instead, I love to adapt and blend both new and traditional techniques."
When dining at Reillys Restaurant, you may notice the highly artistic quality of our dishes. Luke brings elements of his graphic design background to his work in the kitchen, and so an emphasis on plating and composition are at the heart of every dish he prepares. Just as Reillys Wines reflects the unique terroir of the Clare Valley, Luke is doing the same with his food through making the most of regional produce.
"I've loved getting to know Mintaro over the past few years and the variety of locally grown ingredients I can now work with. After years working in the desert, it's been great for me to have the opportunity to develop dishes using local produce that reflects the region."
Luke's approach to food blends perfectly with the Reillys outlook on winemaking. Just as our wines are synonymous with the essence of the Clare Valley and take you on a journey of discovery, you can experience a similar journey with our gourmet food as well.

We have been eating at Reillys for 5 years or more. Always a great meal, and wonderful wines.

Hard to beat for their great wines (especially the Grenache). Let the chef match the food with the wine. You won’t be disappointed.

Amazing Lunch, Beautiful Restaurant and Cellar Door
We met friends for a special birthday lunch at Reillys and had an exceptional experience. The food was so impressive, each course was absolutely delicious with flavours perfectly balanced. The service was professional and attentive. We were made to feel very welcome and they went out of their way to accommodate my food allergy. Added bonus - the wine is fantastic too! Gorgeous cellar door. Can’t wait to visit again.
Amazing food and wine match- 5 course degustation is a bargain!!
