I took the 2 bus to the winery & back into town. Very convenient for someone who doesn’t have a car. I did a 5 wine tasting for 25$. The tasting is to the right once you walk into the building. I enjoyed it! Each wine was explained well and I felt at ease. I went before noon on a Sunday and didn’t have to wait more than a few minutes to be helped. Also, I would suggest looking at the return bus time as I left the winery a bit early and had to wait for the bus back.
Most wines we tasted were excellent. Beautiful space. Alex was the most knowledgeable, excellent host I have ever had at a winery. We had no reservation and they were extremely accommodating. Highly recommend to visit, especially with being so close to the city center. 10/10 would recommend!
Superb! We trusted the chef and boy did he deliver. Each dish and wine pairing engaged all the senses and very much pleased the palate. Every restaurant should have a forager on board, we loved discovering new edible flora we hadn't tried before. The wait staff displayed the perfect balance of friendly professionalism - lunching here was the perfect end to our South Island visit. We can't wait to come back!
We visited the bistro in Jan 18. Environment is fine but I cannot say that staff is in hurry. We wait ages on wine testing. And then when you buy wine in exhibition it cost $25 but when you have it in bistro it is $80! More then 3 times expensively! Really?! I happy with double but triple! Food was fine but costed enough not to be so.
This is a wonderful winery. The grounds are magnificent with rolling hills and lush vegetation. The winery has a great rustic resturant that serves delicious food. Dining in the resturant is a great way to taste the wine. But if that isn't enought just go to the tasting room and order up. We loved everything we sampled.
