The staff are so lovely and the wines are fabulous. Very dog friendly, you can even get a doggy grazing bowl as an addition to their wonderful menu. Highly recommend doing the wine paring with your feed me meal.

I had the absolute pleasure of dining here for my belated birthday celebration specifically to try the new menu, gosh Connor didn’t dissapoint! The lamb, pasta and pork were all stunning, my only wish was for a little more tomato with the pasta. The yuzu dessert was 20/10 and the lemon rocks at the end!!! An absolute delight!! Will definitely be back! All the staff were beautiful and attentive and shout out to Elouise for her wine knowledge.

The location is excellent, and the prices are reasonable.

The first course was enjoyable— tasty bread paired with well-balanced salted butter. While it wasn’t groundbreaking, it was satisfying (who doesn’t love bread with wine?). The second course, an additional kingfish dish, was a highlight. The natural flavors of the kingfish were beautifully complemented by acidity and the texture of the garnish. The ribs were exceptional, offering a unique and flavorful take on Southeast Asian cuisine—a standout of the evening. The pesto pasta was decent but just didn’t feel like it had its place in the menu. Don’t get me wrong, I love pesto pasta, but not here.

Unfortunately, the pork dish was a significant letdown. The pork was tough, which diminished the intended flavors, and the accompanying salad didn’t work for me—the Dr Pepper-inspired dressing clashed with the freshness of the greens.

The dessert, however, was a delightful surprise and the perfect way to end the meal. Knowing the chef’s reputation, we were excited to visit, and this course delivered a fresh, sophisticated finale that felt like a true degustation experience.

Overall, while two mains fell short, the rest of the meal was enjoyable. With some refinements (the ribs need no changes!).

We look forward to the future of the menu.

Dropped by here on for 2 hours on the trailhopper tour. Went with the Feed Me menu for lunch. Everything that was served was delicious. Fresh ingredients and well thought out flavours.
The complimentary sparkling wine was lovely. Also had a glass of moscato that was not too sweet but refreshing.
Would definitely like to come back again for lunch with friends.
Service was also wonderful. Lovely, warm friendly and attentive staff. Highly recommend to stop by on a lovely sunny day!

Bec Hardy wines is an established South Australian family winery, located in the heart of Mclaren Vale. The winery offers a rustic and peaceful ambience nestled in and around vineyards.
Staff were most helpful in explaining the wine tastings and options. We ordered the tastings from the Lot 94, Bec Hardy and Pertaringa ranges. With each tasting, the staff spoke to various factors of the wine: its history, grape and aging.
Each waitress who served us spoke with the same shared interest and passion for the wines and Hardy family history, which further excited me to try the wines. We thoroughly enjoyed the Pinot Noir, Cabernet Sauvignon, Shiraz, Sauvignon Blanc and Rose, to mention a few.
After the tastings, our palettes experienced the rich flavours and textures of the Kingfish with coconut and native lime finger; the house-made arancini and the native bush tomato hoummos.
Each dish was beautifully presented. As someone who has lived internationally, including in Italy, I was pleasantly surprised with just how delicious the arancini was; honestly, it's the best I have had!
Further to the beautiful setting, we appreciated the warmth and kindness of the staff. It was nice to observe their interaction with customers and to hear what they were sharing about the wines.
If you are seeking an enriching South Australian family winery experience, I strongly recommend Bec Hardy wines.

Ordered a dozen which was delivered to me 34 hrs later. First bottle went down a treat. Great value to the extent I had enough cash left over from my miserly salary to shout my brother and his wife lunch at their two hatted restaurant for their 25 wedding anniversary. Very impressed.

Nice afternoon of sharing a grazing plate and a couple of glasses of wine. Lovely knowledgeable staff that made the day even more enjoyable. Went looking for a pinot noir and wasn't disappointed.
