While the location is quite lovely and the ambience equally nice, we didn't entirely love the experience.The starters didn't come out until we reminded the staff and while the outdoor area had a nice fountain, the toppled bricks/tiles we asked to be moved as they were somewhat dangerous remained. We did ask twice but I guess they were too busy.The food had good flavours but stingy on the size. The salad had 3 small pieces of bocconcini and there were 5 maybe 6 gnocchi on the entire plate (of a main) and while we don't expect some massive feast for the price...the 'sourdough' bread in the picture was $12. I'm not sure it was worth it for 4 small pieces of bread.

Wine and food was nice but a little overpriced for what you get.The cost of the tasting does not come off the price of the wine you buy.Overall it was a fun time but a little overpriced.

This is a must visit while in Canberra. The food, wine and service were awesome. The views were spectacular!

Lovely long lunch venue. We had a tasting with our lunch which made it a really lovely visit. I personally love their Rose and we went away with 2 extra bottles!

This place is absolutely amazing to get away to if you're living in Canberra. It has a countryside feel to it and the wines I am sure are fantastic too. There are not too many wineries that cook up excellent food to keep their tables busy and this is is right up there with the best in the region. Definitely worth a try. Regards @fooderarri

Had a lovely family lunch here. The kids enjoyed exploring out the front amongst the gardens. The pork loin wrapped in prosciutto was delicious as was the fig and wine. The staff were friendly and the views over the vineyard were spectacular.

I really wanted to give a better rating, but I've given this place two chances for two different occasions - Truffle degustation and Valentine's dinner, and both times I've been sadly disappointed.The truffle dinner was nice, but by the end the truffles were just too over powering.The lady pouring the wine was rude and kept rushing me to finish my wine so she could pour the next one. At one stage she even huffed as she tapped a glass with her nail for me to hurry!Valentine's dinner, the nicest part was the wine. Of all the four meals, none stood out. The watermelon starter wasn't even grilled, just a cold piece of watermelon with a drizzle of dressing. The pork belly had no crispy crackling around the edge, so it was just so fatty. The buffalo was still mooing and so hard to cut with a normal dinner knife. And finally, the desert was so full of colouring it dyed our teeth blue!

Beautiful winery with a gorgeous outlook. Staff are very friendly and even though a winery, non alcoholic drinks are available.Unfortunately, the same can't be said for the food.At an average of $35 for a main, you would expect it to come out hot. 5 out of 6 mains on our table were cold. Not to mention our entree that didn't come out first, but rather with the mains.Such a disappointment for a lovely restaurant.Maybe the charcuterie board is the way to go as it's already cold?We certainly won't be hurrying back out there.
