Vine Inn Barossa has been recognised for its contribution to the Barossa community, taking home the Community Service & Support Award at the 2025 Australian Hotels Association (SA) Awards for Excellence.

The Australian Hotels Association (SA) Awards for Excellence celebrates the best of South Australia’s hospitality sector, recognising outstanding venues, individuals, and community initiatives. This year’s gala event, held at the Adelaide Entertainment Centre on Tuesday 21st October, celebrated the best of South Australia’s hospitality industry, with more than 1,000 guests from across the state in attendance on the night.

The Vine Inn was honoured for its community support, contributing more than $243,000 in donations and in-kind assistance over the past year. The hotel’s continued involvement in local sponsorships, partnerships and fundraising initiatives also played a key role in securing the award.

The hotel stood out amongst a range of strong finalists, including the Arkaba Hotel, Port Lincoln Hotel, Morphett Arms Hotel, and Crowne Plaza Mawson Lakes.

As the state winner, the Vine Inn will now progress to the AHA National Awards, to be held on the Gold Coast next month.
