Winemaker James Hook doesn’t own vineyards but buys its grapes. As a consultant for local grape growers he knows exactly where he should get his good grapes. With his parents Paul and Patricia, he runs on to the wooded hills east of the McLaren Vale wine region, the tiny winery Lazy Ballerina.

The cellar door is situated in a great garden among tall trees, in which visitors can wander. The terrace is a fine place to taste Lazy Ballerina's fine wine a viognier and shiraz . But also feel free to ask for a cup of coffee with a piece of Patricia’s deliciously homemade cakes.

Opening hours
Friday, Saturday or Sunday from 11.00 to 17.00 hr.
For visits outside these opening hours it is recommended to call in advance.
