On a drive out to Cape Willoughtby Lighthouse Saturday, we stopped in for lunch at Dudley Wines Cellar Door on the way back(only about 10 mins drive out of Penneshaw, and, Wow, Wow, Wow , walking out to sit on a beautiful big deck to indulge of this Wow factor view. We ordered two tasting paddles of their wines, and a tasting plate of fresh and delicious local produce. Very nice wines, especially the premium reds (on the $15 paddle) and the food complemented perfectly. Great friendly and knowledgeable service as well. Well worth a hop into on Kangaroo Island.

A lovely cellar door with a choice of wine tasting options and $10 for 6 great wines was very good value although we got the $30, 9 wine tasting for free as we joined their wine club and so also got our wines shipped home at no charge. Lots of choice of wines and they were very friendly and knowledgeable
