Ekhidna Wines McLaren Vale Cellar Door

We visited the cellar door with friends. We found the staff to be friendly and helpful. The wines are tasty and affordable. Beer and cider flights are also available. We had the chef's selection for lunch and enjoyed the quality and quantity of food provided. Lunch included three entrees and two main courses (two plates of each course were provided with the exception of one main course - this was to be shared amongst four people). The wine we ordered was decanted - much appreciated. Courses were nicely paced.Seating options available include the dining room, bar area or outside area.

Went here for Saturday lunch with our family of 5 from Aldinga Beach whilst visiting from Sydney. The service, atmosphere, location, food and wine was very special. Would have no hesitation in recommending the venue for any occasion, we will be back.

Following a great experience at the "old" Ekhidna, we were looking forward to the "new". So disappointed. The view is fantastic, the food not bad, but the service was appalling. We were abandoned after the main course. Never did see our waiter again. Trip Adviser needs to separate the reviews into "old" and "new" as currently they are misleading.

Ekhidna was a favourite before it moved, so we were sad to see it close.Happily it has reopened in a new spot, a little off the beaten track.Overlooking the vineyards makes a great setting.The wines are excellent and fairly priced.The menu has something for every one and there are usually interesting specials.Highly recommended

I quite often go onto Tripadvisor to read reviews when looking to dine out somewhere, however, I do not often write reviews. On this occasion I felt the need to write one! I visited Ekhidna wines with family yesterday for my birthday because of the excellent reviews I saw online, and it did not disappoint. When we arrived we were welcomed into the restaurant overlooking the beautiful vineyards. Jeremy our server was excellent! He provided great customer service skills, was chatty and had a lovely personality, and was extremely knowledgeable and accommodating when ordering the food, especially as I needed to have a slight change to a component in one of the dishes. The food was absolutely outstanding and we had no complaints about anything. Every mouthful was delicious! Well done to the chefs! The other waitresses were also kind and friendly as well as the staff in the winery cellar door.We have relatives visiting from overseas over the next few months and will be sure to revisit Ekhidna! Thank you for an enjoyable lunch and service. Love the new premises as well!
