ABOUT MAXWELL
Some say McLaren Vale offers the best regional dining in Australia, but few know a part of that reputation is Maxwell-made! In 1969, Mark’s father contributed to the region’s first notable eatery and when Mark Maxwell built the winery, it was his vision to carry on this legacy. Now with Executive Chef Fabian Lehmann at the helm an exquisite, ever-changing, tasting menu champions seasonal produce from local producers and provides a truly memorable dining experience for diners.
With notable awards, including receiving three Chef Hats at the 2024 Australian Good Food Guide Awards and most recently being crowned the Best Regional Restaurant and top 8 in South Australia from Delicious.100, it’s fundamental to our success to deliver food and service of the highest standards.
