Excellent
The two different staff we had on the occasions we visited were friendly and helpful. On the second day the staff member serving us was very distracted with so many people to serve but still managed to give us a great explanation of the wines and still not keep us waiting

Very popular cellar door in the area. Our first visit was on a weekday and we were the only ones there. We went back that weekend with friends who came to visit us and it was extremely busy with a few small bus loads but even under this pressure the tasting and purchasing was still very good
