A wonderful lunch on Friday 30th October 20, we shared a main meal of Pork Scallopine , salad and chips on one plate the pork on our own plates (very accommodating) and a desert each, orange cake and sticky date pudding, each with cream and ice cream, we usually miss desert, so this was a bonus. Glass of Rose and a glass of pale ale, hard to top. Excellent service, wonderful view and excellent value for money.

A mix of locals and tourists.

Alpha Box & Dice Cellar Door is a unique, boutique winery in the heart of McLaren Vale, South Australia. AB&D are attempting to create an 'Alphabet of Wine', where every wine we create reflects a different letter of the alphabet. Each wine comes with their own unique identity and personality – no two AB&D wines are alike – either in style, variety or appearance. As such, AB&D champions some lesser-known varietals of the region, offering wines that you may not have heard of, or expected to taste in McLaren Vale.

For those with more ‘typical’ tastes I can see why they might not enjoy this but if you enjoy something from left field this is a must-visit on any MV tour. Extensive (free!) tasting. Some unusual wines (maybe I don’t dislike whites after-all...) and the passion and knowledge for what they were doing, as a business at the start of it’s journey, really shone through. Easy to see why this place is garnering such a cult-following. And great tunes at the cellar-door too for anyone who loves post-hardcore or 90’s indie-rock. Same spirit as a craft-brewery. Down to Earth attitude and a desire to try something different.

I had a meal at The Lion Restaurant last night. It has been a long time since I have had such a delightful dining experience of this high caliber. We ordered sharing plates between the three of us and every dish was a masterpiece of style and taste, the duck with macadamia purée and coffee was a flavour combination at genius level. the head chef is in a class of his own. This was all presented with friendly and engaging service staff that are knowledgeable and accomodating. In short, I was made to feel like a valued customer.
