Our Review
Elena Brooks crafts full-bodied wines across South Australia’s premium regions: Adelaide Hills, Eden Valley, McLaren Vale, Barossa Valley and Fleurieu Peninsula. She endeavours to draw upon vineyards untempered by over-management, as much as she strives for a softer impact in the winery. As a result, Dandelion wines are increasingly bright, transparent and stamped by a more sensitive oak regime than in the past. Grenache, a strong suit. -NED GOODWIN MW

Cellar Door
Information
The Wonder Room, located atop the ancient ridge of Firehawk Farm, features extensive feature windows, offering panoramic views of the surrounding landscapes. Visitors can enjoy breathtaking 180-degree views of the lush vineyards of Firehawk Farm, the rolling slopes of McLaren Vale, the Gulf St Vincent and the Willunga Escarpment. Elena and Zar Brooks’ vision for the Wonder Room was thoughtfully brought to life by repurposing the footprint of the old tractor shed to create a space that seamlessly blends rustic features, warm tones, and clean lines. The grand white amphitheatre-style sitting steps and extensive glass window façade showcase the many stunning natural landscapes surrounding the site. Visitors can sit back, relax and take in the stunning views while sipping on a glass of Dandelion Vineyards wine. Elena and Zar Brooks have always dreamed of creating a space that’s more than a cellar door, and now they can share their passion for wine with visitors through the Wonder Room. Come and enjoy one of our sit-down tasting experiences, tutored by our Wonder Room staff, as you take in the views. We suggest allocating 75 minutes for the tasting experience. Join us for a tasting and discover the wonder of the Wonder Room at Dandelion Vineyards! Bookings recommended.
