The Verdict
To "Cellarbrate": Really nice setting in a central location, can sample a number of wines from different wineries in the region To "Wine about": It's always nice to sample wines directly at the source, but this is a nice option for convenience and for those wineries without a cellar door How many bottles did we buy: 6 Suitable for: Couples and Groups Visited August 2016 (weekday) |

The centre operates as the cellar door for 11 wineries around Orange. Each winery has a couple of wines on the tasting list, which is enormous, so we suggest being selective in the wines you decide to taste!
