The wine sampling was quick to start (although cost each participant $5.00) for the experience. I guess it's the associated cost of a larger group. Without going into too much Wine detail ..... all the different varieties we fresh, crisp and flavorsome ...... and on our departure ...... a good selection across the board purchased. Would I come Back ?? ..... Probably not, for no other reason that I felt I had discovered & explored it pretty well already. With so many great Wineries in the Orange region .....

Stopped in here on a recommendation from another vineyard- so glad we did!…read moreSeems a bit odd at first as you basically walk through the front door and front room of what appears to be the owners house, to a back room looking out over the garden they have lovingly created. A lovely French girl took us through an extensive tasting with some complimentary cheese and crackers and house made bread. The wines themselves were stunning with perhaps the best Pinot Noir that I have tasted in Austerity so far, and a wonderful Rose also. All the wines were lovely, there wasn't a white or a red I wouldn't have had more of had I not been driving. And then a garden walk that is truly amazing. The owners migrated from the US 20 years ago and clearly started planing right away as the garden is amazing and you can still see a lot more planned Really recommend a visit.

It was a tedious drive from Sydney today and my first task was to ask for the loo. I was pointed out the door and I walked into a garden with a fountain and tables, chairs & umbrellas. The loo was an outdoor one so I really didn't expect much. It was luxurious. Apart from being clean and having the necessities there were some pretty good pictures on the wall to keep you amused if your stay was going to be an extended one. I digress again. We did come here to try the wines. Our host was very knowledgeable and friendly so the tasting was a bit of a treat. We did find wines we liked; red and white plus a sweetish wine to have with cheese. We met the cellar dog who has been featured in a book about cellar dogs. It hasn't gone to Fluffy's head as she allows anyone to give her a scratch. I'd come back here just to sit on the lounge and have a glass of wine. You could also have a cup of tea.
