Deep in the heart of McLaren Vale is Maxwell's Restaurant. Nestled in the Maxwell Winery estate, the restaurant is the ideal place to enjoy a lazy weekend lunch after a morning exploring the region. With a glass of Maxwell’s award-winning Shiraz in hand, perch yourself on the deck and admire the luscious green vineyard views. Fabian Lehmann, former Chef at Michelin-starred restaurant Hotel Jaghaus Eideu, creates a seasonal and local produce driven menu with dishes effortlessly matched to a cellared Maxwell wine. Whet your appetite with a cured venison tartare before delving into a caramelised pumpkin ravioli, Willunga walnuts and sage or perhaps the spring lamb celeriac and roasted garlic. Decadent dessert dish options are aplenty, like the whipped d'affinois, Maxwell honey and truffle.
