Swell Brewing Co, McLaren Vale
Sometimes wineries are not for every one, and with a quality craft offering like Swell Brewing Co in the region, why wouldn’t you mix it up a bit? I’d like to say it kept my husband happy, and it did, but actually I’d call myself a bit of a beer diva, so it ticked my boxes too. Hang on…..but a brewery and kids? Fear not…….this place is…
Serafino Wines
I cannot believe we haven’t been to Serafino for lunch before, but now we have been once we will definitely be back!

They have married fine-dining, with brilliant…

Things like work, other children, illness or even access to these kinds of foods can all play a role in what types of food your children receive in their lunchboxes…
Exeter Hotel – Semaphore
We recently visited The Exeter Hotel at Semaphore while on a mini break at Discovery Parks – Adelaide Beachfront. Another guest at the park had recommended it to me as a great place to take kids for a meal and they were right, it was! We took advantage of their Kids Eat Free promotion where if you visit between Sunday – Thursday and purchase one…
