In what has been described as the most authentic and enjoyable wine experience in McLaren Vale is the Ekhidna and Paper Eagle cellar door and kitchen ... and be prepared for some pleasant surprises.



Irrepressible, ever laughing, talented winemaker owner Matt Rechner is almost always on hand answering questions, offering advice and fussing over his visitors. His many achievements include a trophy for Australia's Best Shiraz.



This cellar door only offers tastings of Matt's excellent handcrafted wines but adds tastings of sensational handmade beers including his unique highly sought after Ekhidna Ginger Beer.



Completing the taste experience is the Ekhidna kitchen full of talent, turning out beautiful Tapas and a la carte meals. Ekhidna Kitchen has an enviable high reputation amongst locals which is a sure sign of a consistent quality offering.



Matt and his super friendly staff will make your Vale visit a highlight ... hope to see you soon.

Matt the winemaker is brilliant at what he does and it was an absolute pleasure to get to meet him! Incredible guy. Smiling and happy, loves what he does and speaks with such pride and passion and is so generous. Incredible wines, Great ginger beer too, great stories and history, beautiful building, amazing food (vegan options on point) which all contributed to a really great experience at Ekhidna. Thanks Matt

Great place. Great service. Value for money...absolutely not. 3 off us did the $90 degustation lunch. In terms of meat we received 6 very small peaces of beef and 3 prawns. The rest was vegetables. Would I come back and do the $90 lunch again. NO. Would I suggest to my friends to have the same as we did. NO. I could have had 3 main courses for the same price. Please do you homework and maybe ask what's in valved. Our mistake.

Food was not worth the price. Small portions+ exorbitant price for what you get- barely any price tags on the menu so it's a bit of pot luck with how much you pay. Lacked in flavour.

Good selection of drinks, friendly service + nice scenery though.

We visited Ekhidna for lunch. The food and paired wines were amazing! The staff was wonderful, both helpful and friendly. Olivia in particular took very good care of us and was very friendly.

We came as a group for a winery tour and the staff and host were really helpful and friendly. Loved the ambience and location. Very highly recommended.
