If passing through the area, it really is a must stop before it happens. The staff were all lovely (and bound to get snapped up at other cellar doors), there's a $15 cellar tunnel tour that sounded great (we just missed it, unfortunately, so call ahead for times and bookings) and most importantly the wines are consistently great, and there's a ton to choose from.

An extensive range of beautifully crafted wines to taste with the Riesling and the Shiraz LSV being my personal favorites.

The staff were very knowledgeable about the wines and exuded country kindness. Drop by Bests for lunch next time you need a break between Melbourne and Adelaide.
