Adele
Did a wine tasting today with Gabby and absolutely loved it. Gabby was so welcoming and knowledgeable and made the whole experience feel relaxed and personal. The wines were delicious, so easy to drink and enjoy. Grenache was a standout for me! And the view!! Just beautiful. It’s such a little hot spot, so definitely best to make a booking. Perfect for a slow, happy afternoon. Can’t wait to come back 🥂✨

TLDR: make sure you check your bill. Check your bill carefully - systemic overcharging??? Our group table (of five adults) that was clearly ordering to share was overcharged four glasses of wine that we didn't order. At the time we paid our bill, only one person paid for it all, and they don't print the bill to see it, so we didn't pick up on it, until driving home some one asked, "how was the pinot? ", thinking one of the others had ordered and consumed it. At this point we realised no one ordered it, we drove back and asked to look at the bill. Their were four different glasses of wine that we hadn't ordered. The manager gave me a basic apology, my money, and a weird explanation when I said, "some other table must have got a nice discount" , he said they were "his drinks"... Huh? Prior to this experience the service had been pretty reasonable. But I had to drive back 15 minutes to get $50 back. The least he could have done was offer me a free bottle of wine which would have cost him about $10-$15 wholesale. Terrible service. The good was 4* good, not amazing. - The popcorn cauliflower had to much batter, not enough cauliflower. - The fried chicken was the same, hardly any chicken and a tonne of batter. - The grazing plate was a bit light on cheese. - The feta and olives on the humus were really cheap quality and ruined the dish.

We visited Manson Cherry Winery for lunch and a wine tasting experience. They offered us 7 wines to taste — out of which I personally enjoyed only the last one, the Shiraz. The rest were okay, not bad, just not to my taste. However, the food was very good, fresh, and flavorful, and the service was extremely friendly and welcoming. Overall, a pleasant afternoon with good food, warm hospitality, and a standout Shiraz to remember

What an amazing day. Had the best wine tasting by Gabby. Not only were the wines delicious but her service and wine knowledge is second to none! Her love of the industry is infectious. An asset to your company! The food was delicious, although tempted to order everything on the menu, we resisted but what we did order was amazing. All in all I give this venue 10/10…,.can’t wait to come back!
