D'arenberg - MCLAREN VALE

Came here for a couple years in a row and had a fantastic vegan degustation. Returned recently and they had a new plant based menu that I was disappointed to find had dairy cheese in the dishes. We had asked for two VEGAN degustations when we booked which they seemed to have ignored. The cheese addition, that I didn’t eat after first mouthful seemed unnecessary anyway and they swapped another dish after I objected to the dairy after they brought it to the table. They seemed rude and arrogant and didn’t ask whether we liked the food when we left anyway. We had specifically asked for vegan food so that was extremely disappointing so don’t really want to go back there.

This is an expensive treat but is lovely for a really special occasion. I took my mum for her 80th birthday and the vegan degustation was really awesome. Updated from previous review on 2023-05-26

Eaten here many times. Amazing plant based degustation. Make sure you book well in advance!

Ate in the cafe area for lunch. Obviously incredible location, super quirky. I had the salad which really exceeded my expectations. Crispy chickpeas were incredible.

We came here again, this time for our first wedding anniversary and the vegan degustation was deeeelish!
