About Coriole Vineyards
Coriole Vineyards is a family winery on Chaffeys Road in McLaren Vale, still owned and run by the Lloyd family who founded it in the late 1960s. Its original farmhouses from the 1860s anchor the cellar door, gardens and restaurant, with vines on every side. The estate offers several settings for private events, including the Courtyard Restaurant between the stone cottages, the lawns, the cottage gardens, the old homestead and the Top House event space. Private and corporate bookings can take these areas exclusively, for anywhere from 10 to 1,000 guests. For daytime groups, the Courtyard Restaurant hosts 60 to 120 guests on an exclusive basis. The verandah beside the original cottage seats 20 to 40 with views over the vines and ranges, while 15 to 25 guests can dine on the lawn above the gardens when the weather suits. The group menus are served to share: bread and olives, charcuterie, buffalo curd, sirloin, roast potatoes, garden leaves and a seasonal dessert, with a pasta course on the larger menu. The kitchen can handle most dietary needs given 72 hours' notice. Groups of 20 or more add a timed drinks package built around the estate's wines and local beers, and an alcohol-free package is available. Weddings have their own coordinator, and evening events outside the noon to 5pm lunch window are quoted separately.
