Ekhidna Wines is an airy restaurant in a leafy locale for share plates and gourmet mains crafted from local produce. It is also a terrific place to host your wedding celebrations.
It is a popular choice in the Mclaren vale region to have or attend a wedding. The fabulous cellar door, restaurant, and courtyard are tucked away among the vines with views to the Mt Lofty Ranges, all with uninterrupted views to the vines and beyond.
Ekhidna Wines provides the ultimate versatility for a relaxed, intimate, and elegant wedding experience unrivalled on the Fleurieu Peninsula.
The view from this property is enticing as it is conveniently located in the heart of McLaren Vale. Floor-to-ceiling windows overlook the vines and the Mount Lofty Ranges, which cut a striking swath through the skyline.
The lawned area between the vines and the restaurant that captures the view is ideal for ceremonies. It begs to be framed with an oversized floral arrangement.
This outdoor space’s shape lends itself to casual seating options, long rows to maximise space, and even a marquee for an extra undercover option. If the weather seems terrible that day, Ekhidna has three indoor venues for you to use.
Each area of the wedding venues, all located in McLaren Vale, can be opened partially or entirely to accommodate wedding parties of 30 to 200 people.
You can also host a picturesque marquee on the lawn overlooking the vines.
From the start, their dedicated wedding coordinator provides you with all the tools, knowledge, and support you need to ensure that your wedding planning is a fun experience.
Ekhidna has packages to suit everyone’s budget and needs. Whether you want a sophisticated or relaxed vibe, arrive by foot or by helicopter, have a ceremony or a reception or both, Ekhidna can meet your needs.
The chefs will create a memorable seated or cocktail-style dining experience for you and your guests. They use only the region’s freshest locally sourced seasonal produce to complement their own organically grown fruits and vegetables.
Almost all cuisine is prepared using locally grown produce harvested directly from their edible gardens. We’re not just talking about a locally sourced cut of meat here; almost all herbs are sourced from the garden, and sauces and ingredients are made from scratch on the premises.
One of the many features that distinguish Ekhidna Wines from other winery venues is its flexibility, both in terms of space and menu. While they provide the convenience of a full-service venue, they do not have a set menu. Instead, they work with you to create a tailored seasonal shared dining experience. The enthusiastic team will design a custom menu for your guests, and they are adaptable to most service styles.
Your menu will be a generous, delectable, and mouthwatering experience that you and your guests will never forget.
Although the Ekhidna Winery doesn’t provide accommodation. There is plenty of choices for accomodation nearby. You can entertain your guests on the site in grassy areas suitable for outdoor games and decorations like love signs.
For pictures, you may choose the obvious option of using the vineyards, which slope beautifully in the direction of the setting sun. There’s also the Mclaren Vale town centre nearby and the beach and Kuitpo forest, both a short drive away.
If you are pondering how to entertain your guests after the ceremony, Ekhidna Wines has you covered. Your guests can enjoy tantalising canapes and beverages from the specially designed-outdoor bar. If it suits them, they can even decide to play some Ekhidna’s lawn games.
Ekhidna Wines is much more than meets the eye. They have pretty much everything covered, so all you have to think about on your special day is having fun with your loved ones.
