Maxwell Wines

19 Olivers Rd, McLaren Vale SA 5171

Some say McLaren Vale offers the best regional dining in Australia. But few know a part of that reputation is Maxwell-made. In 1969, Mark's father contributed to the region's first notable eatery. And when Mark Maxwell built this winery, it was one of the few with its own restaurant.

Our menu has always championed fresh, seasonal produce from local suppliers. Although, our brilliant Head Chef, Fabian Lehmann, is far from local. With a stellar career forged in the Michelin-starred restaurants of Europe, his exquisite plates are now the stuff of Instagram legend.

Our award-winning restaurant is open for lunch Friday, Saturday & Sunday with sittings from 12 noon and dinner service from 6:30 pm on Saturday evening.

An amazing place and experience! As an overseas visitor from the UK, this was certainly not to be missed. Our host, Shaun, was brilliant. So knowledgeable and friendly, and talked us through the various wines. The meal that followed was exceptional. The presentation of the food was the best I have ever seen, and the quality and complexity of the favours was divine. Certainly up there with Michelin star restaurants, in my view! The restaurant staff were all so friendly and professional and nothing was too much trouble. Thank you for making our trip so enjoyable.

We had such a great experience at Maxwell wines! The decor was beautiful and the service was amazing, the level of knowledge we were given during the tasting was the best we'd had during our whole trip in SA! Not to mention how delicious the wines were; would highly recommend the GSM and honey mead. Will definitely be coming back next time we are in the area!

This restaurant is outstanding.
We booked online & we able to book a health based special dietary requirement.
We then received an email stating how they could & would accommodate my needs.
That was very impressive before we got to the restaurant.
We had a 10 course dégustation menu & it was fabulous. Each course was sublime with so many textures & amazing tastes.
Service was exceptional & the setting was good too.
I highly recommend Maxwell's & will definitely be going again.
