Wineries with Restaurants

The Best Winery Restaurants in McLaren Vale & Fleurieu Coast

McLaren Vale isn’t just known for its world-class wines - did you know that it’s also home to some of South Australia’s best winery restaurants!

Across the region, a growing number of wineries have embraced the long lunch tradition, offering memorable dining experiences that showcase the region’s rich food culture alongside their signature wines.

Think seasonal menus, fresh local produce and creative dishes served in stunning cellar door settings.

From architecturally striking spaces to relaxed vineyard views, the vibe is always warm and welcoming - whether you’re settling in for a full degustation or sharing a few plates over a bottle of red.

Many of the chefs behind these kitchens work closely with nearby growers, producers and artisans, so what lands on your plate is as local as the wine in your glass. Think 'paddock to plate' philosophy.

It’s the kind of place where lunch easily stretches into the afternoon - and that’s exactly how it should be.

So if you're planning your next food and wine adventure, McLaren Vale's wineries - and their restaurants - should be at the top of your list.

Just be sure to book ahead - the secret’s well and truly out.
