Bec Hardy Wines

For ridiculously good wines and exceptional hospitality all wrapped up in a seriously gorgeous setting, it’s hard to beat a visit to Bec Hardy Wines in McLaren Vale.

With a looooong family history in winemaking that spans over 170 years (her great, great, great grandfather was THE Thomas Hardy after all!), Bec sure knows her stuff, bringing her own fresh, modern flair to this old-school legacy.

And with wines sourced from some of SA’s most premium regions like Clare Valley, McLaren Vale and the Adelaide Hills, you know you’re in for a treat. Offering styles across the spectrum, including sweet, sparkling and seriously robust, there’s something to please any palate.

But it’s not just the wines that this place is about. You’ll also fall in love with the setting.

Sunny days are best spent out in the gum-studded gardens with vineyard views that go on forever, or perched atop the shady deck overlooking the lawns. Or simply grab a picnic rug and relax out there with a cheese platter and chilled glass of rosé.

Want to stay a little longer? Why not enjoy lunch at their new restaurant ‘The Kitchen’, indulging in the likes of mac and cheese balls served with bacon jam, or market-fresh fish with caper and lemon mayo. With small plates, large plates and even stuff for the kids, you’re sure to be delighted.

And the fact they host unforgettable weddings and functions here too, gives you even more reason to love this incredible cellar door.
