Cucina Di Strada

Cucina Di Strada is the Italian food offering at Vigna Bottin, a family-run cellar door and osteria on Main Road, serving nonna-style sharing plates alongside the estate's Italian-variety wines. Dogs are welcome in the outdoor areas, making it an easy, rustic lunch stop with the dog.

The dog setup. Dogs are welcome on the outdoor lawn and in the rustic courtyard, with covered patio-style seating. Keep your dog on-lead at all times, since it is a working winery area. Bring your own water bowl and lead; the venue is welcoming but set up for diners first.

Known for. Authentic, home-style Italian food built for sharing, paired with estate Italian varieties like fiano, sangiovese, barbera and nero, in a relaxed osteria setting.

Getting there. The venue is at 145 Main Road, on the McLaren Vale to Willunga stretch. There is on-site parking at the cellar door.

Nearby with the dogs. The Willunga Farmers Market (Saturday mornings) is dog-friendly nearby, the Shiraz Trail is good for a long on-lead walk, and Aldinga Scrub Conservation Park has trails a short drive away.

When to go. Weekday lunches are calmest in the courtyard. Weekends draw a crowd, so arrive early for an outdoor table with room for the dog.
