    ” While we seldom associate Barossa with that most stiff upper lipped grape, cabernet, there are many good examples. This is among them. Embellished with the varietal tattoo of dried sage, clove and a whiff of leaf, there is something more nourishing, denser and altogether richer from these parts: black olive, bitter chocolate and cherry bonbon. But what I really love are the tannins: moreish, cocoa-laced and fine grained.”

Book a Tasting Experience

Dandelion Vineyards’ Wonder Room is now open!

Come and enjoy one of our sit-down tasting experiences tutored by our Wonder Room staff as you take in the breathtaking views of Firehawk Farm, McLaren Vale, the Gulf St Vincent, and the Willunga Escarpment.

We are open daily from 10am to 6pm and we suggest allocating 45 minutes for the Regional Flavours Tasting Discovery, 75 minutes for the Firehawk Estate Journey and 90 minutes for the Legacy Tasting Experience.

Kindly make a reservation for the entire number of individuals in your party, as we cannot guarantee seating for guests without a booking.

We look forward to welcoming you to Dandelion Vineyards’ Wonder Room.
