We enjoyed a lovely wine tasting with Ian, the owner and founder. Oh the stories! We had so much fun and loved the wine! It was the best experience in Tasmania! Don't miss the 2019 Estate Syrah! Beautiful setting! Thank you Ian and Wendy!

Came here for pre-booked High Tea on a mid week day. The water view and floral gardens surrounding the main building are stunning. The room itself was decorated in such a pretty way. First we got to choose what tea we want. It came out in a silver pot. It’s unlimited tea but we couldn’t drink more than one pot. The Earl Grey and English Breakfast were nice. Soon after a tower was delivered that had sandwiches down the bottom, pastries in the middle and mixed sweets at the top. Immediately after our scones were brought out. For two people the amount of food that is delivered is ridiculous really. Enough for 4 people! A couple (2 ppl) couldn’t possibly finish it all. The sandwiches and savouries were delicious and we enjoyed the scones. All the sweets on the top tier were pretty visually, but too sweet and creamy for us. Loved the selection of teas and the booklet explaining the teas and the items we were about to eat. Service was great and it was a lovely experience. BUT…. There’s room for improvement though. Our feedback is as follows: - Open the main doors if people are waiting outside for high tea. We drove far to get there and were busting to use the toilet. No facilities outside. We had to wait until 11:30am for staff to open the doors so we could use the toilet. - Offer a smaller high tea option for a lower price per person. Ie. Just tea, the bottom two tiers of savoury items and some scones. Or just tea and scones. Didn’t end up doing wine tasting here as felt a bit sick/full from all the sugary treats and sheet volume of food we were given.

Visited on December 21, 2024. It was very close to Hobart airport so we rented a car and went straight to eat. Very beautiful scenery, good wine and the food in the restaurant was great. It's a great place to visit during your 9 day trip to Australia.

We stayed at a wonderful cottage in the Riverdale Winery. Amazing view of lake and hill side. The night sky view is awesome. As a bonus, we immensely enjoyed wine tasting with owner, Ian, was best wine tasting experience during our trip even after our tour through Barossa region.

Today my family and I visited Riversdale. We came for a wine tasting and were greeted by a lovely lady in the cellar door room. She gave us a great experience, she was very informative, engaging and gave us the perfect amount of attention while also giving us some time alone to chat amongst ourselves. After our tasting and chatting with her she suggested another wine we would enjoy, we all got a taste of it and she was very right! We are very excited for our delivery of wines to arrive when we get home to QLD. My 2yr old son also loved the Peter rabbit garden! A great visit for everyone.
