Mitolo Wines

Fleurieu Peninsula


Enter the 'Mouth of the Wolf' restaurant at Mitolo, a black-painted congregation of shipping containers bolted together to form one seriously swish bistro. Order two or three courses (buttermilk scallops!) or hand over your life savings for a full eight-course degustation with fine wines. Love the big basalt boulder out the front, cleft perfectly in two as if by lightning.
