About Beach Road Wines

Beach Road Wines is a family-owned winery, cellar door and restaurant on Seaview Road in McLaren Vale, set above the township with vineyards on every side. Alongside lunch and tastings, it runs weddings, functions and group celebrations for 20 to 140 guests. Events use the Wine Garden, a verandah-covered space with heating that can be hired exclusively or in part, plus the Alfresco Deck and outdoor dining spots under the trees. On weekends the wine deck becomes the dance floor for wedding receptions. Food is built around pizzas made on site from local produce, served cocktail style, shared along long tables or paired with seasonal dishes. Vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free choices are available, and the whole venue is nut-free. Groups of 16 to 19 can book a two-hour shared menu at $40 per adult, and groups of 20 or more can take the Long Lunch at $58 per adult, which runs three to four hours and includes cakeage. Larger functions choose between casual space hire, a Feed Me shared menu and an inclusive food and drinks package. Drinks run on a bar tab, a drinks package or guests paying their own way, with Beach Road wines, gin, local beer and alcohol-free options on the list. Evening functions need at least 40 adults and a $4,000 minimum spend, and music finishes at 10pm. Wedding packages run from micro weddings to cocktail-style pizza receptions and formal seated dinners, with ceremony options inside or out and coordination included. Bookings are confirmed with a signed contract and a pre-authorisation of $10 per guest.
