d'Arry's Verandah Restaurant Overview

The sweeping views at d'Arry's Verandah Restaurant is what first strikes visitors, the food and wine is next. At once exciting to the palate and satisfying to the soul, the food at this McLaren Vale restaurant is strongly regional and seasonal with personality. The dishes are designed to complement the extensive and award winning d’Arenberg stable of wines, all of which are available by the glass or bottle and for tasting in the adjacent cellar door. Try the slow roast pork belly and pork mignon with fresh peach pickle, kohlrabi and radish slaw with passionfruit soufflé and pouring cream.

READ MORE

In 1996 the original d'Arenberg 19th century homestead was renovated and extended to house the winery's cellar door facilities. The homestead also includes a magnificent hilltop restaurant overlooking d'Arenberg's vineyards, McLaren Vale and the Willunga Escarpment falling into the Gulf St Vincent.

The Homestead's extensions have realised the vision of d'Arenberg's Chief Winemaker, Chester Osborn, whose grandfather last renovated and extended the building just after the turn of the century.

Chester and his father d'Arry have re-fitted the idiosyncratic Australian cottage with a long, wide, enclosed verandah built from local materials and timber from a derelict wool store in Port Adelaide. d'Arry's Verandah Restaurant incorporates a large outdoor brick paved patio which is next to the original ironstone dairy, sheltered by two striking white sails in front of a large natural amphitheatre, tailor made for outdoor concerts and festivals in d'Arenberg's vineyards.

Very few restaurateurs ever have the opportunity to utilise the extraordinary food and wine resources and culture like those of McLaren Vale. Since 1836 settlers in the district have worked with the maritime, Mediterranean climate using the rich soils and distinct seasons to cultivate vineyards, kitchen herbs, fruit orchards and vegetables, grazing animals, growing cereal and grain crops, as well as collecting native produce.

Fresh, seasonal produce is the basis of McLaren Vale's cuisine. It seems as the world quickly ‘globalises', it also simultaneously ‘localises'. The list of produce from McLaren Vale and the Fleurieu Peninsula is continually growing, and the quality of much of the produce just keeps getting better and better.

At the beginning of the year all manner of summer fruits abound, followed by the grape vintage and almond harvest, and then by the ripening of wild and plantation olives for pickling and olive oil.

You'll also be tempted by local cheeses, milk and cream, chocolates, honey, mustards and vinegars. Nor should we forget garlic, ginger, horseradish, wild mushrooms, blueberries, currants, strawberries, potatoes and blackberries.

And then there are freshwater yabbies and trout, saltwater whiting, garfish, flathead and red mullet from local beaches, as well as wild rabbits and hare, raised pigeons, quails and kangaroo and oh yes, grapes.

The simple aim of d'Arry's Verandah Restaurant is to represent McLaren Vale at its most delightful by providing the very best. d'Arry's Verandah Restaurant is open year round, though times will vary, so it is best to ring and check. Lunch is served every day as well as on public holidays. The restaurant is also open for evening functions by prior arrangement.

There is an extensive Estate & Museum wine list, with some very old d'Arenberg offerings that have been lovingly dusted off from our very own cellar.

Our favourite way to showcase our skills in the kitchen and the wonderful produce we have in our own 'backyard' is by creating a degustation style tasting menu. During the winter months, we encourage you to linger a little longer at the Verandah and allow us to take you on a gastronomical journey.

Our 'let us have our way with you' degustation menus consist of six smaller courses which allow you to experience the wealth of flavours that Chefs Nigel Rich & Peter Reschke bring to each dish.

Brilliant. Been meaning to get there for many years.
Not disappointed - Exceeded expectations.
Lovely views over wine country. Ability to sit indoors or on outside verandah.
Diversity provided in a medium sized menu with good variety of specials offered. Local products utilised.
Service professional, excellant knowledge of menu, enthusiastic & providing comfortable space whilst dining.
Great to have a winery also cellaring from different regions/countries although local product extremely good. The ability to taste prior to lunch an advantage in selecting dinner beverages.
It would however have been nice to know entree's had been delivered to table whilst in cellar door.
Overall a wonderful experience that will be repeated. A great luncheon outing.
