OVERVIEW

Nestled amongst the tranquil Shiraz vineyard, Ekhidna Wines is a cellar door and restaurant with stunning views over an iconic McLaren Vale landscape. Marry with views of the southern Mt Lofty Ranges as your backdrop and continue your wedding celebration in a gorgeous vineyard setting.

At Ekhidna Wines we pride ourselves on our attention to detail, free flowing communication with all of our couples and our commitment to your wedding day being exactly as you imagine. 

From the very beginning our dedicated wedding coordinator provides you with all the tools, knowledge and support you need to ensure your wedding planning is a fun experience you both enjoy sharing in together.

When the special day arrives all you need to do is enjoy your romantic ceremony bubble, delicious food and wine and dance the night away with your loved ones - we have the rest covered.

Our stunning wedding venue has a choice of ceremony locations, all with picturesque scenery of our beautiful region, as far as the eye can see.

The perfect backdrop for capturing the intimate moment you say 'I do'.

Imagine the fun your guests will have after the ceremony as they enjoy tantalising canapes, beverages from our purpose built outdoor bar and even playing Ekhidna's own lawn games.

We can accommodate wedding receptions of up to 200 under cover and with our large open spaces, we can easily cater to a variety of floorplans. We provide everything you need so all you need to think about is decor - and with our included fairy and festoon lighting, not too much is required! 

Our incredible team of chefs use only the freshest locally-sourced seasonal produce from the region to compliment our own organically-grown fruits & vegetables.

Your menu will be a generous, delicious and an impressive mouth watering experience you and your guests will never forget.

The best venue in Adelaide!! A beautiful ceremony location with the hills and vineyards as the backdrop, an amazing adaptable reception area, and the most delicious food, wine and beer in all of McLaren Vale! All the staff are friendly and fun, and Erin the coordinator made everything run smooth. The packages they offer include so much that they made a lot of preparation so easy.

We loved Ekhidna! We loved to choose a smaller more family owned vibe for a location. Phemie was everything you want in a cordinator: steady and calm always, friendly and approachable, reliable and also a decision maker- we were a little wishy washy with what we wanted sometimes and she was so great with suggestions around what has worked well in the past. We had some intial issues with our original cordinator leaving and when we talked through our concerns Phemie was professional accountable and empathetic. Ekhidna is stunning and our friends and family LOVED that food and wine and said that there was plenty of it!! We did a sit down/share plates style FYI- we loved spending time there leading up to wedding and can't wait to go back again and again and relive!

Ekhidna Wines was a fantastic venue for our wedding reception. The staff were so friendly and easy to work with, the food was some of the tastiest food I've ever had in my life, the wine was delicious, and the venue looked stunning too! Recommend very very highly for a beautiful McLaren Vale wedding location!
