Rarely leave Google reviews - however felt obliged to share our poor experience. Although having great views and polite service, being charged $40 for my wife and I to participate in an average tasting left a bad taste in our mouths. We were given tastings for 4 different white wines only - all of which were a mix of vinegar and sugar water in my opinion. The only wine we bought turns out not to have even been produced in the area. The volume given during the tasting was pitiful - I would guess we weren't given half a glass in total during the whole tasting. Certainly wouldn't be the pick if visiting wineries in the area.

Such a beautiful place to go. The tasting was great, the staff knowledgeable and friendly. The cellar door is on top of a hill with a 360° view over the surrounding vine hills. Gorgeous! We'll definitely be back.

I ordered gifts to be delivered for Mother's Day, but unfortunately didn't received on time, the staff are very apologetic, contacted me & traced the package. Sula one of the staff was so lovely rang me that package will surely be received, & it did arrived with so much appreciations. Then I received a package from them saying sorry for the delay. Highly recommended.. good variety of wines to enjoy, & more so lovely staff '
