Long-running McMurtrie Road cafe, restaurant, art gallery and B&B hidden in the bush behind Wirra Wirra - a McLaren Vale institution since the 1990s.
Cafe, restaurant and gallery in the bush
Red Poles is tucked away on McMurtrie Road behind Wirra Wirra, set in a rambling garden of native bush, vineyards and eucalypts. The cafe-restaurant serves breakfast, long lunches and weekend brunch with a regional menu that leans on Fleurieu produce, and hosts live music most weekends. A rotating art gallery showcases South Australian artists, and there is an outdoor deck with a cocktail bar for warmer days.
Food, wine and art all in one stop
Red Poles is a popular Willunga Farmers Market breakfast spot and a regular live music venue in McLaren Vale. It is a working example of a cafe, gallery and small B&B all under one roof - genuine, unpolished and locally loved since the early 1990s.
