coriole was the outstanding winner who was sweet for our long weekend of eating and drinking in mclaren vale. it is the perfect balance between informal and formality in an absolutely divine garden. if the weather is nice, they ask for a table outside under a...umbrella! it is a leak in the sunny environment while it is away in its beautiful fiano. I admit to being a little laborious before going there, knowing that they serve only 5 or 7 courses at weekends. While we understand the arguments for this “business model” for restaurants, we are always happy to have more control over what we eat mainly at weekends when it will be food overload! but it turned out that there was no reason to be gr...
Had the five-course lunch with two interstate visitors last week, this was our fourth or fifth visit, will all previous visits being excellent. Unfortunately, this experience was not! First course – Pumpkin carpaccio (raw Pumpkin). Second course – Mussels (about 4 between two people) served...with raw potato and a green sauce. Third course – Kangaroo, served very raw with raw turnip. One of our guests asked for a different option and was presented with a plate of raw vegetables, again with a green sauce. Kangaroo was nice although again a very small serve (six very small slices between two). Forth course – Dry aged beef with mushrooms. Beef was well cooked but was probably 50% fat, one slice...
Lovely winery setting. We had the $70 5 course lunch. Fixed entrees and dessert and a choice of 3 shared mains. Highlight was the beetroot starter. We had the beef main course which was good but a bit small for 2. Chocolate dessert was tasty...but very rich. We didnt realuse shared main was the deal when we booked. Maybe I missed the fine print . For a couple to have to share a main from a choice of 3 is very restrictive . Vegetarian, chicken and beef. Very hard to get consensus so picking beef was a compromise. I didnt want pumpkin and she didnt want chicken, so picked beef which was 2nd choice for both. Coffee was Ok.
we have shared an excellent lunch with the family! booked last minute and came to a cold and wet afternoon to be greeted with a warm fire and friendly staff. that was extraordinary. the waiter food knowledge and explanation of all ingredients and their sources were very appreciated. the Coriole wines we selected were delicious. we finished our meal perfectly with lime competition four that are not served in our set menu, but friendly anyway! such a simple gesture, but so beautiful. it was a lunch we will remember for a long time and look forward to returning with family and friends.

Amazing and so fresh. My partner surprised me with lunch here, and we were not disappointed. First wine tasting with a very knowledgeable cellar door assistant. Then lunch. OMG, the freshest most tastiest lunch we have experienced in a long time. Beautiful bread with house...churned butter and the most desirable oil. Oysters so plump and tasty, followed by calamari, so tender. Beautiful chicken plithvier and kangaroo nothing like we have ever tasted before. Staff are so respectful and knowledgeable. We can't wait to come back. Thank you all. Keep up the great work.
We had a booked lunch and we did a tasting beforehand. It was not busy med-werk, so both our tasting and lunch were unhurried. The wines are fabulous and we were already fans. Our degustation lunch was great and the waiter was very helpful with...managing choices around some if the food for one of us. We really enjoyed the total experience.
the wee are great and variable. the personal is very informative and friendly. wine tasting is a great experience. when they buy the initial cost, will be deducted. great experience in an excellent environment.
fantastic eating, wein, service and flexibility (we were late). kelly was unbelievable without knowing to transfer, attentive and friendly. we're coming back!

Beautiful vineyard with free tasting at the cellar door. The dessert wines are impressive.
We didn't eat at the restaurant, so can't comment there.
Truly magnificent experience we had at Coriole yesterday.
