Wirra Wirra Vineyards

Wine tasting was a Christmas present. We were in Adelaide for a wedding and decided to visit Wirra Wirra who make our favourite red, Church Block. What a treat. Thank you Frieda for your wonderful hospitality and knowledge. We then enjoyed a fabulous lunch at Harry’s Deli and a stroll about the gardens overlooking the vines. Great memories, great wine.

Lovely morning with family at Wirra Wirra. Beautiful scenery - nestled amongst the gum trees, manicured garden with interesting features like a medievel catapult and quirky artworks. Can dine in or outside. "Harry's deli" has good food, good service. My pavlova looked like Christmas on a plate. Seriously! So well presented, very pretty and most importantly, tasty! Others had hot chips, cheesecake and sticky date pudding. Very happy. Children were given puzzle sheets to do and colour in, which they greatly enjoyed. Really lovely morning. Will happily return and recommend.

We visited Harry’s Deli for our 20th wedding anniversary and it did not disappoint. We enjoyed a beautiful bottle of 2016 Catapault Shiraz paired with the kingfish and chicken entrees and beef brisket and Asian duck noodle salad for mains. Food was amazing and views were lovely. The service was great and the prices were reasonable. Definitely worth a visit whilst McClaren Vale.

We celebrated my husband's 60th at Wirra Wirra last weekend in a private room which was beautifully set up. It was amazing and everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves. The wines are top notch as was the food and service - we cannot fault anything! We were able to experience setting off the catapult (organised in advance) and my husband was able to also ring the Anglican Church Bell that's on site at the end of the day. We cannot recommend Wirra Wirra highly enough and if we ever want to hold another special event in SA, Wirra Wirra will be at the top of our list of places to hold it. Karly was amazing to deal with right from the start - an amazing human being always smiling and accommodating! We'd like to personally thank her wholeheartedly - we were in great hands! We'd also like to thank staff member Luke who assisted Karly on the day as well as the Catapult team Keith and Shane.

The wines here are amazing but their food is even better! Nice little grass area to play a fee games and enjoy the sun after lunch. Don’t forget to order the fried chicken!

Harry’s Deli was recommended to us and did not disappoint. Our group of eight (all from interstate) enjoyed the best service - we had the a la carte menu and all meals were just delicious. Great wine and great food.

A brilliant experience! A very pleasant venue with exceptional outlook over the vineyard. Service and food was amazing with suggested wine matching. Would I go again….absolutely I would!

Wirra Wirra will always be 5/5. The wine is beautiful, with reasonably priced tastings that showcase the incredible wines on offer. Bec was very very very knowledgeable about the wine, vineyards, production process, the grapes and everything in between. Her bubbly personality and willingness to answer questions made the tasting not only delicious but informative too. Plenty of parking available at Wirra Wirra too. Great location that is also child friendly too. The environment is steeped in rich heritage of delicious wines coupled with the country feeling of McLaren Vale. Next we trotted over to Harry’s Deli. The catering manager Carly was just as excellent as the food. Our server was attentive, considerate, professional and polite. The food portions were generous and reasonably priced. We shared our smaller plates and our mains. The variety on the menu is perfect for the venue and has something to cater to all. Wirra Wirra wines are a staple in our home and we walked out with a few to add to the collection. Another gorgeous trip to a place that feels like walking into a welcoming and warm home. It’s accessible all year round with flat ground for wheelchair and mobility access, plus indoor and outdoor seating with the fire roaring in winter means visiting all year round is a breeze. We will always come back here for a lovely weekend meal. It truly feels like luxury meets the comforts of home. An asset to McLaren Vale.

Despite a somewhat corporate feel, we were treated to personal, friendly service in a laid-back, uncrowded environment, with a wide variety of wines to try. All of them were good, but some of the single vineyard shiraz was especially good for the price, and their higher-end flagship wines (at $70/bottle) were excellent, including a rich, inky shiraz and the Absconder, an interesting and herbaceous grenache (this was my favorite overall, but we ended up buying a $35 Woodhenge shiraz)

What is not to love about a winery in winter that has a wood fire going?? Upon entry we were greeted by the cellar door staff who apologized that the fire was not as warm as it should be, he didnt force us to have a tasting but more so just let us be as we walked around and just took in the place and the scenery. There is a lot art work around the place which you can wander through in your own time. The wine selection is nice and the staff are knowledgeable about the varieties. I did enjoy these wine more so a few years ago but in saying that you cant go past a glass (or bottle!) of Church Block. They have cheese and crackers for purchase if you want to have more than just a tasting where you can sit inside next to the fire or outside. They also have a box of toys in the cellar door corner to keep little people entertained.

A delightful winery in the southern region of McLaren Vale, Wirra Wirra has some wonderful grounds, a fascinating cellar door with paintings framing the walls and a huge vintage bell christened The Angelus bell for all to ring. Kids are welcomed here as there is a kids corner whilst parents indulge in wine tasting and cheese platter. Some of my favourite drops would have to be the rich bodied Church Block and the delightful sweet Mrs Wigley Moscato. Wirra Wirra is just perfect in so many ways, it's perfect to visit during the day or a weekend getaway among the stunning views of McLaren Vale.

Wirra Wirra is one of my favorite winery. The guy serving was Chris a great guy so helpful and knowable. They have Harry's deli right there with a lot of great food choices but only wine tasted. We came away with 6 bottles. You can't go wrong with this winery. They have a bunch of fun events year round. A must visit!

Wirra Wirra admitedly doesn't make my favourite wines from the region, but that doesn't mean it isn't a great destination to take in as a part of a wine tour in the area, and who knows, the wines may be more to your taste than mine. Last time I was there a large pile of grapes had been left to rot in the sun and the intoxicating caramel smell itself was worth the visit. The space at the cellar door is substantial, with a long bench for tastings which means as long as you call ahead and book it's a great place to take a group. The cheese plates are also a good spacer between all that wine so you may want to stay and indulge. The scrubby rise range is very popular and you'll probably want to try all the shiraz and cab sauv if you're that way inclined.

Very friendly staff, very knowledgeable. A big but excellent cellar door for wine tasting, and you can get a range of platters. And off course excellent wines, try the 2013 church block and the moscato!

We came here with friends for wine tasting/buying and a picnic, as we noticed that they advertise their picnic area. I haven't visited here before, as it is a bit of a tourist mecca (which we usually avoid), but since this was the weekend of a car race, we thought we would be safe ;) Well, this was the BEST wine tasting experience I have ever had! The guy who helped us (wish we grabbed his name, as he was outstanding) was a real showman, very friendly and knowledgeable and an excellent representative of the winery. After we had decided which wines we were going to buy (as well as some delicious pate and other goodies they have on offer), we headed out to the picnic area, which was absolutely perfect, with lovely views. We had a gorgeous afternoon, and will definitely be back to purchase more wine!!

Good reds and nice staff - just make sure you go in a small group...first time we were well looked after, second time (in a bigger group) we were treated pretty average - felt like we weren't welcome.

faaaabulous !!!! Tristan really knows his stuff fab winery and gardens !!! a must see place !
