About Serafino

Serafino delivers an all-in-one McLaren Vale escape—pairing multi-course vineyard dining and cellar door tastings with sprawling, gum-shaded lodging. Guests come for unhurried milestone dinners with tables overlooking the water, working through plates of tender beef fillet, crisp pork belly, and delicate Murray cod alongside curated estate pours. The cellar door keeps things conversational, pouring regional heroes and Italian varietals like Barbera and Nero d'Avola. With rooms sitting right on the Shiraz Trail, it makes an effortless base for exploring the vines on two wheels before winding down with coffee and a bowl of tiramisu.

  • Vineyard Estate Dining: Multi-course dinners feature plates like delicate Murray cod, tender beef fillet, and crisp pork belly paired with estate vintages.
  • On-Site Grounds & Lodging: Spacious rooms set among gum trees, lawns, and birdlife provide an unhurried retreat right beside the Shiraz Trail.
  • Cellar Door Tastings: Attentive staff pour local regional heroes alongside Italian-style varietals like Barbera and Nero d'Avola.
