- adelaidemummyHyde Park, Australia279 contributionsFantastic food and beautiful locationA group of 12 of us had the pleasure of the feed me lunch recently. After having been warmly greeted we were shown to our table overlooking the garden and started on a wine tasting. The lunch overlapped the tasting and each course was delicious and beautifully presented. The staff were exceptional in their professionalism and friendliness. The feed me was excellent value with more than enough food. I highly recommend a visit!Visited November 2023Travelled with friendsWritten 25 November 2023
- Warren PAdelaide, Australia940 contributionsMore than a Rabbit HoleWe ended our taste of the Maclaren in an old Double Decker Bus. Such a unique venue and we’ll patronised. They have a vibrant, earthy, well thought out wine list. Definitely recommend to friends and family to pay Down the Rabbit Hole a visit soon.Visited December 2023Travelled as a coupleWritten 29 December 2023
- Carolyn SGlenelg, Australia24 contributionsUnique with a beautiful casual vibeMy husband & I visited today for the very first time after hearing recommendations from our friends. We were warmly welcomed when we first arrived & really enjoyed our experience there. From the casual ambience, soft background music, very attentive & friendly staff & the beautiful setting & surrounds it was fantastic & well worth a visit. The pizzas were lovely & we enjoyed our wines & also a mocktail. I also loved the bus vibe. Very clean & lovely modern toilets too that was a bonus ! A bit disappointed with the cost of the platter that was my only negative. Overall a very delightful experience & & quite unique too. Well done team 👌Visited January 2024Travelled as a coupleWritten 29 January 2024
- WasholovestotravelAdelaide, Australia653 contributionsJust amazing loved everything about this winery and the food was amazingFirst off the restaurant and staff are 10/10 wow your initial feeling of the winery is great but it gets better and better. We chose the feed me option and were not disappointed the food was beautifully presented and the taste and quality was incredible. Everything tasted freshly picked Nothing to fault and highly recommend, especially the staff so friendly and knowledgeable and happy Love love love this placeVisited March 2024Travelled with familyWritten 21 March 2024
- 456brianlAdelaide, Australia225 contributionsA very pleasant experienceWe were welcomed by the beautiful almond blossoms in season. As we approached the restaurant, friendly staff greeted us from afar and took us to a table. Beautiful setting, relaxed atmosphere. I suppose everyone dined in with feed me menu as we didn’t see a la carte option. We started with bread and butter then shared an entree. Followed by sharing a meatballs pasta, beef cheeks and veggie. That’s for $95 per person. Dessert is additional cost. Based on our regular eating out, this was definitely on the pricey side. Another shared entree would have justified the price. Wine by glass was reasonable priced and generously poured. Overall it was a very pleasant experience, staff were absolutely lovely, and nice atmosphere.Visited August 2024Travelled as a coupleWritten 4 August 2024

Lovely setting, great staff and phenomenal food.
We only give 4 stars because despite the above, the prices for some items are outrageous. For example, a 375ml bottle of still water is $8. $24 per litre for water? Other than this it’s a great spot to chill and enjoy their great selection of wines on a sunny afternoon.

Thank you for your honest review Siv and Keddy! We are glad to hear you enjoyed our wines and the space we have created. Unfortunately, like most things lately, the cost of produce and products continue to rise and we are mindful of how much this impacts our guests. We do however offer free filtered tap water by the bottle.
We look forward to welcoming you back again soon.

Had the most amazing experience at DTRH on 15/01/21. My girlfriends and I had a tasting and three course lunch booked, the venue/experience and food were absolute perfection but the main factor that made the whole day so enjoyable was the staff. They were the were the most genuine, kind and caring people who made us feel right so comfortable and like they really cared. And it wasn’t only the staff members who were particularly taking care of us - everyone was so lovely and went above and beyond and seemed to really love their workplace.
They even opened up the the store for us after we expressed interest in their clothing and created a special ‘congratulations’ touch after I received good news.
We ended our late lunch by sitting on one of the complimentary rugs on the lawn and listening to some beautiful love acoustic music. It was pure magic.
Thank you so much for making our day so special I couldn’t recommend DTRH more and I will be telling everyone to come here!

Must do if you visit the Mclaren Vale region. The place is pretty impressive. We didn’t book and just turned up around midday on a Saturday and whilst it was fairly busy we were seated straight away. Staff seem great. The weather was perfect but the setting, the music and the drinks were great. We didn’t eat but the platters looked very good. Would highly recommend a visit.

Thanks so much for visiting Matt and we are glad you enjoyed our space as much as we do! We would definitely recommend our beautiful feed me happy platters next time you visit which showcase a selection of beautiful local and seasonal produce including items such as fresh cheeses, breads and homemade meatballs amongst many other delights.
We look forward to welcoming you back again soon!

The cellar is really lovely, great design and styling.......BUT it is expensive!
My partner and l were driving our daughter and friends around for her bday so we opted for a kombucha.
It cost us $15, $7.50 each for a small bottle! And our daughter had a cocktail which cost her $20...

Poor service - not enough staff on for the amount of people / staff not attentive. Waited 20 minutes before being acknowledged. Drinks and food were ordered. We then waited for an hour for food, we asked about our food which was actually forgotten - staff member ‘forgot to press send’. Great spot but service needs to be greatly improved.

We experienced sheer delight on a visit for lunch and winetasting. The young, personable and well trained staff provided an inviting atmosphere while the presentation and quality of the food was superb. The wine tasting was well run, although some water would have been helpful. The wines, well made were more in the Italian style with lighter reds. The Chardonnay was excellent.
The ambience with that fresh dining room and food were the highlight.

Would love to return in the warmer months to experience the Friday Live Music Nights.

Thoroughly enjoyed doing a tasting in the double decker bus.
We walked in without a booking and were accommodated for very quickly.
$20 for a tasting of 8 wines, with the fee waved with a purchase of a take home bottle.
We felt very welcomed. It was a bit busy (Easter weekend) but that was to be expected.
Would recommend down the rabbit hole and will try to visit again next time.
Thanks!

At first we didn’t want to go there because of the « instagram buzz », we thought that the wine would be clearly disappointing.
Finally we went there and got a warm welcome.
The tasting wine in the bus was great, the guy was super friendly and he explained well everything about the wine and the concept.
The wines were of good quality (especially the Cab blend) and we loved also the Rosé and the Chardonnay. We even ordered a few bottles.
And what a surprise, the wines are all organic.
We are used to drink wine from all over the world and weren’t disappointed by this place.
The food is a bit expensive but yummy.
The place looks like exactly like Instagram, it’s super cute!
The staff is sooo friendly (sorry I can’t remember their names) (we went there the 3th of November)
We had a great time !! Thank you ! 🇫🇷
