Vine Shed Venue & Cellar Door

The Vine Shed is a family-owned cellar door and venue on the historic Conte Estate, with vines dating to the 1880s and a relaxed, openly dog-welcoming feel. Spacious lawns, wood-fired pizza and Sunday live music make it more of a settle-in afternoon than a quick tasting.

The dog setup. Dogs are welcome and encouraged across the outdoor lawns and courtyard, and friendly dogs are generally fine in the cellar door area with their owners. Keep your dog on-lead and under control around other guests and dogs. Bring your own travel bowl for water.

Known for. Vine Shed and Conte Estate wines, including the Circa 1880 Shiraz, alongside wood-fired pizzas, tapas and share platters, with live music on Sundays.

Getting there. The venue is at 122 Clewley Road, McLaren Flat, roughly 40 minutes from the Adelaide CBD. On-site parking is available.

Nearby with the dogs. The surrounding vineyards offer walking between sites, several nearby cellar doors are dog-friendly, and the Fleurieu Coast has off-lead parks and beaches a short drive away.

When to go. Weekday afternoons are quietest on the lawn. Sundays draw a crowd for the live music, so arrive early if you want a shaded patch of grass with the dog.
