Coriole Vineyards

We recently enjoyed lunch at the restaurant, set in the stunning Coriole Winery.
The cozy fireplace is perfect for cooler days, adding to the inviting atmosphere.
We went with the ‘feed me’ menu and paired it with their suggested wines, which complemented the dishes perfectly. The food was excellent, and the wines enhanced every bite. The service was friendly and attentive, making the experience even more enjoyable.
With the cellar door located right next to the restaurant, you can easily pick up your favorite wines to take home.
A must-visit for wine and food lovers!

A sublimely beautiful setting with excellent variety of quality wines to suit any pallet. Had such a great wine tasting experience; Brett was very knowledgeable and talked through each wine with great humour and grace. He’s the kind of guy you easily could have a yarn with for hours over a glass or three of Cab Shiraz
Easily my FAVORITE SA wine tasting experience so far! Highly recommended!

It is a very lovely experience, both at the Cellar Door as well as the restaurant.. the place filled with floral and flowers was a sight to behold.
Bun was so lovely in entertaining and giving us the history as well as background of each wines to me and wife. We found the white Fiano amazing and Shiraz The Soloist very engaging..
The Cellar house is a very cosy spot for both standing or a table for tasting. The outside tables, especially the ones facing the vineyards, are lovely places for drinks, especially when the sun was out today. Will recommend others to visit...
Then we when over to the restaurant. Advance booking is recommended. Food, ambience and service was tip top!! Wonderful experience here too! Enjoyed the variety of selection and great to end off with a dessert and a flat white!! Yummy!
Will come back again.. 🙂

The most amazing experience, including the surrounding vines, views and gardens. Very knowledgeable and friendly people at Coriole, in the cellar and restaurant. Food was delicious and service impeccable. Atmosphere was relaxing and beautiful. If you go to McLaren Vale, it is a must for lunch.

Would rate less if I could. The wine tastings felt more like “give us your money and we will pretend like we know what we’re saying”.
There was an obvious difference in service. The young girl was enthusiastic and loved to interact with everyone. However the Middle Aged lady with blonde hair behind the counter was rude and borderline racist. Lets just say she was relieved to see non Australians walk out the door. In fact, we observed her throughout our time there when she was continuously eye balling us and this other group of Chinese tourists with this “you don’t belong here” look, ignoring to serve and trying to get us to leave. In the end, the Chinese patrons were leaving the cellar and we heard the lady say “that’ll be the last of the Chinese”. We immediately walked out since the overall experience was just a struggle with little to nothing on offer. It is shocking to see such people in this day and age and a place with such reputation employing such staff.
On a positive note, the location has some really good views and the ambiance is welcoming. Shame that they have such staff to ruin the place for visitors.
