2025 Chef Series


  • Kyle Johns brings more than a decade of distinguished culinary experience to his role as Executive Chef at Hentley Farm. His career, marked by time spent in acclaimed kitchens across Australia—including chef-hatted restaurants and luxury resorts—reflects his dedication to excellence and innovation.

  • Hentley Farm was established in 1997 by Keith and Alison Hentschke with a vision to craft exceptional single-estate wines from the Barossa Valley. They found their ideal site on a mixed farming property with diverse soils and aspects, nestled among the rolling hills along Greenock Creek. The estate was meticulously divided into nine viticultural blocks, further segmented by rows based on soil, aspect, and micro-climates. The vineyard was planted to Shiraz, Grenache, Cabernet Sauvignon, Zinfandel, and a small parcel of Viognier.

    Hentley Farm's wines are known for their vibrancy, silky tannins, and intense flavors, approachable when young yet capable of extended cellaring. The estate has earned global accolades, including the 2015 James Halliday Winery of the Year and winning the highly decorated Jimmy Watson Memorial Trophy in 2022 for The Old Legend 2021, cementing its position as one of Australia's leading boutique wineries.

    The restaurant is located in the heart of Hentley Farm's Seppeltsfield vineyard, providing an unforgettable dining experience with sweeping views over the Greenock Creek. The team draws inspiration from their deep connection with local producers and the land they nurture.

  • Yan, meaning "smoke" in Chinese, opened in 2017, with its inspiration stemming from the question—what happens if you add smoke to Chinese food? Ever since, Yan has been creating new and exciting Chinese food that is still somewhat comforting and authentic in its representation.

    Ewa Goralewski joined the team as Head Chef in 2019 after a 10 year stint with Dinner by Heston in both London and Melbourne where she was Head Pastry Chef.

    Narada Kudinar has been the owner of the restaurant since conception. A restaurateur for more than 10 years, his passion is combining great hospitality with interesting food concepts.

    With Narada's knowledge of Asian cuisine and Ewa's skills in recipe development, they create the menu together through countless experiments.

    Yan was awarded one chef’s hat in the 2019 Good Food Guide and has retained it since.
