Perhaps one of the best bakeries in South Australia with more awards than you can poke a stick at…read more Been here several times and it never fails to impress. Although this isn't my local bakery, I often end up here to sample some of their delicious pastries. The pies, sausage rolls and pasties are so soft and delicate yet so tasty. Filled with fresh vegetables rather than frozen fillings, you can taste the difference. They have a variety of gourmet pies for just a whisker under $5. One of my favorites is the steak and Shiraz pie. The pastry they bake is flaky but at the same time is no too thin or thick. Unlike other bakeries, the pastries (in particular pies) do not fall apart from a heavy filling. This is good as it avoids ending up with an embarrassing mess. Definitely worth a try. Can certainly give most bakeries a run for its money.

At last I can stop driving as far away as Port Elliott to get a pie of taste and quality!…read moreI love this bakery and it opened in December 2011 at a time when first moved to SA and lived close by in Seaford. Toff, Cara and the staff at the Home Grain Bakery have perfected the art of the perfect pie! During my time in Adelaide I must have sampled nearly every "Pie of the Month" and my usual favourite "Beef and Green Peppercorn" which has won the best pie award on numerous occasions. This is my favourite as it is simply delicious. I have never had a chunkier pie! Please open a pie shop in Sydney - as I know you'd do well. I also frequented usually on Saturday mornings so that I could sample the breakfast pie range as well. If I wanted a the 'Bacon Brekky Pie', I needed to be down at the bakery early, because they usually sell out by mid morning. If this pie sells out don't fret because there is usually a Spinach and Mushroom Pie still available. Both breakfast pies are the best I have ever tasted and so much better than a quiche! In addition there are many Vegetarian pie/ pastie options. If you'd like to be temped with some sweet choices - there are lots of Jam Berliners, Finger Buns, Vanilla Slices (Yum), Beerenberg Kitchener Bun,Croissants and donuts. Freshly baked bread loaves are also displayed in the bakery window. Too much choice to choose from. I complement my meals with locally roasted Villere coffee made on the Ruggero Espresso machine. The best coffee 'Down South'! All coffees are served with a little moon shortbread made exclusively by Margaret -Toff's Nan- for the bakery. These should also be packaged for sale as they are delicious. Every time I visit Adelaide - I have to come back for one of Home Grain Bakery's Pies.

The fingerbun was overpowered by the icing. The staff member I dealt with was unsure of which items were vegan.

It's just inside the shopping centre so there is nowhere to sit and eat but they have a great range of pies and lots of things which are a bit more adventurous than the standard meat pie.

I had a meat pasty and do out with sprinkles. The pasty's pastry was beautiful, and the filling tasty. The donut tasted as though it was cooked in vegetable oil, which is my preference, and was light and fluffy inside. Yum! Don't overlook this place because it is not glossy and trendy like the other places on the street. You cannot eat in though, so ideal for food on the go.

Hats off to the wine makers! Just outside of the main strip in McLaren Vale, you will be greeted with a lovely old homestead, vegetable patch, chicken shed and an array of buildings for different styles of entertaining. This is what we wish all our homes to look like. Oh, the country Life. Take note of the barn in front of you with the massive pizza oven. What a great space for functions overlooking the rolling hills and vineyards. Also, just next to it is an outdoor fireplace under a gazebo. I would love a Friday arvo knock off or Sunday sesh in there. And just over to the right, you will find the entry to the Cellar Door. Make your way through the front doors and you will find a large open space with one long bar. Great to handle a few group tastings at once, which is a must for the busy weekends. The staff here are ever so friendly and you can see that they are proud of the produce. They will share the story of each wine and educate you on why each wine earned it's name. Going through the flight you will have a range of options to suit your palate. After trying them all I would have to say my favourites being the Chardonnay and Skeleton Key Shiraz. The Chardonnay here is called the Minimalist and is true to it's name. It is lighter than most, with a light peach fruit flavour. It does not have the heavy oak flavour that the old varieties have which is great. The Skeleton Key Shiraz is bold, but it has a spiced slightly sweet berry flavour through the wine. Perfect for winter! Pop Penny's Hill on your list of wineries to visit next time you are in McLaren Vale. You will not be disappointed.

The restaurant serves fantastic food from full meals to seasonal tasting plates paired with the wines, the menu changes every few months and reflects lots of the local produce.

The winery not only has the Penny HIll range of wines but also Mr. Riggs and Black Chook. This leads to an extensive tasting list and there will be something for everyone. The bottle prices are very reasonable too and will be one of the reasons you go back for more!!
