Kangarilla Road Vineyard & Winery

Kangarilla Road Vineyard & Winery sits at 430 Kangarilla Road, McLaren Flat, a modern cellar door with vineyard views stretching toward the coast. It is about as dog-set-up as a cellar door gets, with a resident wine dog, Dave the groodle, on welcoming duty.

The dog setup. Dogs are welcome in the spacious outdoor lawn and garden areas overlooking the vines, and generally inside the cellar door too, though it is worth a quick check with staff on arrival. Bring your own water bowl, especially in warm weather. Keep the lead on, particularly around Dave and any other vineyard pets.

Good to know. Tastings run off Enomatic machines for a relaxed, self-paced pour across the Kangarilla Road and Silent Noise ranges. The elevated position gives panoramic views over the vineyard to the distant ocean.

Getting there. On-site parking is available, with coach parking supported, and it is roughly a 10 to 15-minute drive from the main McLaren Vale township.

Nearby with the dogs. The Shiraz Trail is a scenic walking track near the cellar door, good for a leg-stretch, and several nearby McLaren Vale cellar doors run dog-friendly outdoor seating.

Best timing is a clear day when the coastal views are at their best, ideally a quieter weekday for an unhurried tasting.
