There were a few others around but most were finishing up with purchases. The view of the vineyards and lake (with a gazebo) is very picturesque. The restaurant seemed high end with prices to match. There's starters, mains, sides and desserts. There's also a four course "feed me" option ($75.00 AUD/person). Wine tastings are $5.00 AUD/person but fee is waived with a bottle purchase. We hit it off with the host who also happened to have lived in Canada. We sampled all 6 of their offerings. - NV Josef Chromy sparkling - 2017 Josef Chromy sauvignon blanc - 2017 Josef Chromy pinot gris - 2016 Josef Chromy chardonnay - 2016 Josef Chromy rosé - 2016 Josef Chromy pinot noir Decent wines but nothing particular stood out to us.

I found this place while researching online on lots of "best of" list and given the name we just had to try it out. I went online and decided to make a reservation for lunch-by prebooking a meat/cheese platter for noon-while not required, a good idea during weekends or other busy times. I ended up asking them to move the time back the evening prior and was surprised to get an email response at like 9 pm really quickly saying "sure, no problem." It was really nice of them and it shows the involvement of the owners/family members. We tasted quite a few wines including two sparklers (one rose), sauv blanc, Pinot Gris (fav), Riesling, Chardonnay, two pinots, and even a late harvest Riesling which the only make if conditions are right. We sat outside in the brilliant sunshine looking out to the Vineyard nibbling on the fruit, cheese and meat while one of the owners brought us the various wines. We spent around 90 minutes. It was great learning about the property and their wines and I'd buy any of the wines if available in the U.S.

This was the only Australian winery that had such a uniformly excellent presentation. Kudos to the Holm Oak winemaker! Fiona, our host, was knowledgeable and incredibly personable. She was both professional and fun. She knew her stuff but wasn't afraid to say when we were bouncing against the boundaries of her experience, or ours. Fiona made our day. Our only regrets are that we can't easily return or get Holm Oak wines here at home.

They did have a slight markup for public holiday pricing but considering penalty rates, I'm totally ok with that. The coffee was beautiful, the food options were great. I had a stunning fresh salad plate with heirloom tomatoes, zucchini and kale, which came with a side of fresh bread. So good. Bryher does a trade with local growers to get a lot of their ingredients, which means they can tell you where their produce comes from. It's this kind of local spirit that makes me fall in love with cafes, so you can be sure that I'll head back to Bryher next time I'm up top.

We hadn't even planned to check out CH but one of the other wine hosts recommended it to us. Spoiler alert: this should be in the #1 spot for Tamar Valley. We dropped in on a Monday afternoon (around 2:15pm). This is easily the most beautiful winery we've been to in Australia! The view is sublime and the space is spacious with comfy lounge chairs/couches/bean chairs and blankets. A very cozy, relaxing vibe. Wine tastings are complimentary and you can sample from their whole range. They had a mix of 5 sparkling, 4 whites and 2 reds. Yes, you can try all 11 like we did. Even if you don't think that you will like a particular wine...trust me, just do it. Our wine communicator, Ian (as he called his role), was incredibly knowledgeable and one of the best we've come across. Great pace, understanding and ability to interact with different customers. He knows his craft well. It was a one man show. He even made up a cheese platter ($30.00 AUD) fresh for a group of four. They only have cheese platters on weekdays and tapas on weekends. Didn't see a real food menu. - Clover Hill Tasmanian cuvée NV - Clover Hill blanc de blancs cuvée exceptionelle 2011 - Clover Hill vintage brut 2013 - Clover Hill Tasmanian cuvée rosé NV - Clover Hill brut rosé cuvée exceptionelle 2013 - Estate pinot gris 2017 - Estate sauvignon blanc 2016 - this was our favourite.
