We enjoyed our wine and Cuvée chocolate tasting although the chocolate is overall a bit waxy tasting. It was still fun to have the pairing. The wines were all quite good. A nice touch would be if the owner said a quick hello. We were the only ones in the tasting room when they walked by.

My husband and I did a wine tasting using the special offer we got from the Big4 Barossa caravan park. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable. The wine was great, especially the Elderton Command Single Vineyard Shiraz. Well worth the visit.

Beautiful building lovingly restored. Family owned. Some of the most consistently great wines we tasted in the Barossa.

Beautifully restored homestead, with magical garden outlook from the verandah. Our hostess Carolyn was super attentive and very knowledgeable about the region. We had a couple of glasses of the Eden Valley Field blend which was delicious. Had the cheese board and bread with anchovies. A must visit winery. 5 stars.

Stunning Californian Bungalow, wooden floors, rugs, fire places and lovely wines and cheese platters. Lots of room inside with several areas to relax and enjoy. A lot of history to soak in too. Kids and dogs..not so much. *addit...we brought friends back as we had such a lovely experience with the host. We were sadly disappointed second time. The older lady with the curly grey hair was so frosty. We had arrived at 3pm both days. The first day we had the fire stoked for us and no problems having a platter. The second visit we were declined a platter as they were "finished for the day". She cheerfully waved us off goodbye.
