Visiting Coriole

Coriole Vineyards has been welcoming visitors to our cellar door in McLaren Vale since 1970.

Visit our McLaren Vale Cellar Door

The Coriole cellar door is open 11am to 5pm, 7 days a week*, at 79 Chaffeys Road, McLaren Vale.

Our Cellar Door is open to taste wine with no booking required (for groups less than
6 people), walk-ins are welcome.

Wine tastings attract a tasting fee which is waived with purchase.

Please note our cellar door closes at 5pm, therefore we are unable to offer our full
tasting experience to guests who arrive after 4:15pm, as the experience takes
around 30 - 45 minutes.

At times our small cellar door can be busy and crowded. If we are unable to host you
for a wine tasting, you are more than welcome to enjoy a glass or bottle of wine
outside.

* Cellar door is closed Good Friday and Christmas Day.

Visiting in a larger group?

All groups of 6 people or more must have a pre-booked, pre-paid tasting reservation.

Your group tasting experience is charged at $20 per person (wine tasting only) or $35 per person (wine tasting and cheese platters to share). Your experience fees are non-redeemable and include 15% off take home wine purchases made on the day.

This experience takes 45 minutes to an hour. Click here for enquiries.

Make an afternoon of it

Enjoy our wine in the garden

Cellar Door also offers wine by the glass and build your own cheese boards in our estate garden. This option is seated outdoors and therefore availability is weather dependent - bring a hat/jacket!

During your visit, ask about our Coriole Collective wine club.

While you're here...

Dine in our restaurant

After your tasting, why not make a full afternoon of it? Our restaurant is just steps from the cellar door, serving a seasonal menu that pairs beautifully with the wines you've just discovered. Whether you're celebrating something special or simply in no rush to leave, it's the perfect way to settle in and savour the moment.

Bookings are recommended, so if you're planning to join us for lunch, we suggest reserving your table ahead of your visit.
