When exploring the rolling hillsides of the Fleurieu Peninsula, be sure to visit Blessed Cheese café on McLaren Vale’s Main Road and pick up a delectable assortment of artisan goods. Join friendly locals mingling inside, seen cosied by a fire in the back room through Winter, or unwinding out under a front verandah with a coffee on balmy days, after first having perused a cabinet overflowing with local and international cheeses. Sourcing produce fresh from the surrounding region, find breakfasts such as the sweetcorn stack with local Ellis Butchers' bacon, avocado, rocket and balsamic glaze. Peruse an ever-evolving lunch menu and sample the likes of bruschetta made with locally made ciabatta and topped off with Parmigiano Regganio or perhaps tuck into a gooey artisan blended cheese melt.
