We have a list below of all our recommendations and happy to put you in contact with them.
If you are visiting on a Sunday, Monday or Tuesday when many of the restaurants are not open for dinner, may we suggest a lazy long lunch, then in the evening indulge in a cheese platter or BBQ on your deck whilst watching the sun go down over the vines. Foodland McLaren Vale with it’s dedicated cheese room, Ellis Butchers and Three Monkeys (Willunga) are fabulous establishments for your supplies.
We highly recommend the following cellar doors, where you can discover Wine, Beer & Whisky.
