Balnaves of Coonawarra

Beautiful family owned winery. They very clearly are passionate about their craft and are very knowledgeable about their wines! So sad we missed out on the cheese board though! Added plus is that all proceeds go to MND foundation.

We really enjoyed our time here. We didn’t think we really needed 45 min for wine tasting but we ended up spending an hour here and it didn’t even feel like it. As they say, time flies when you’re having fun. The staff was really friendly and explained the wines well. We also enjoyed watching the wildlife while sitting on the deck. Definitely recommend the wine tasting here for anyone who is in the area.

Welcoming and accommodating staff.Ordered a vegan picnic box.Had the best day, gorgeous garden and outlook to chill out and enjoy a bottle of wine.Highly recommend

My family had flown in from India and were curious about the South Australian Wines . So we did a two week trip exploring all the major wine regions and visited numerous wineries in that time. Balnaves of Coonawarra was definitely one of our most memorable of them all . The staff at the cellar door were excellent and gave us a lot of insight about regions and their quality Wines. We throughly enjoyed the 2018 'The Tally'.

Awesome little winery. Dog friendly, so we could sit outside on the deck overlooking the pond sipping some tasty wines with our dog. Nice little selection on the wine tasting. Would recommend and come back here.

Great winery with some fantastic wines. The staff / balnaves family looked after us really well. Will come again next time we’re in the area.

Very attentive staff and excellent wines, particularly their sparkling red

Visited here with family and some friends from Adelaide.We have 2 kids 3 and under and my niece and nephew ages 5 and 8. If you choose to stay for a while there is a dedicated basket of outside toys for them to play with and lots of beautiful grassed areas to play on.There is also a toy box inside for younger kids to.Family friendly, tick.Inside is a generous area to stand and a large long bar to accommodate a busy tasting session. Lots of local reading material and a nice selection of local nibbles, glasses and other things to purchase.A beautiful little deck overlooking the dam is attached.Cheese platters were well presented with quality ingredients and a lovely way to pass a couple hours sitting outside.Service from staff was top notch, friendly, helpful and knowledgeable.As for the wine, I don't drink the stuff, but everyone I went with enjoyed a few glasses with the platter whilst there and I think in total or group went away with a couple dozen bottles at least.Overall, well worth a stop or taking a group and spending a couple hours relaxing on the lawn of in the assignment rose gardens.

Such a personalised wine tasting experience. Beautiful wines you can’t resist buying some. We were there late on a Sunday and the lovely lady was so friendly. Highly recommend
