Found this voucher in the Entertainment Book and decided to give it go because we were in the area.
We were service right away and given a menu to choose what we wanted. The salad bar looked amazing but none of it really tasted that great.
Their American burger was very filling and tempting. The lamb back strap was a over cooked and a bit dry so wasn't too happy with that.
Overall it was an okay lunch, won't be going out of my way to come back here though.

We drove into this place because it had a sign outside saying "Sangria Platter" which was something unique and quite different in McLaren Vale.
We were greeted but a lovely friendly couple who served us wine for tasting, they had a piano there which they were happy to let us tinkle on. We purchased a bottle of Sangria and went outside for a walk which we saw funky statues. Inside there was more art work which we later found out, their daughter painted.
Overall such a great experience and would definitely recommend them to anyone and everyone.

This wasn't my type of winery since it only specialised in red. It was also rather cramped and squashy inside, definitely not for a group of more than 4 people at one time.
They only had one white for tasting but after that one was over I had to waited for my friends to finish. The person who served us was the owner and so the conversation went for over 30mins. He was very friendly and personable.
My friends like the wine, they all rated it top notch for the red.
White not so much

We purchased a voucher for 4 and came with here with another couple for wine tasting. As soon as we got our platter we were impressed. The man who served us was courtesy and friendly to start with.
I was a Saturday so when it did get busy they didn't notice us as much and we had to call out to get our next tasting.
The lady that was serving that day didn't' seem at all interested, we looked over at her quite a few times but she just looked and looked away again.
When we didn't want to buy any wine to take home with us their attitude, and the tone of their voice turned sour.
I wouldn't not be going back there again, not with that attitude and poor service.

The wines here were nice, it was nice enough for me to join the membership to have it delivered quarterly.
The view is magnificent, the service was attentive and prompt.
We came here with a few friends who though the wine was one of the best they have ever tasted. So I am sure they enjoyed their experience too.
Would definitely be coming back for more

It was a very long way for us to go however when we arrived we were glad we made the trip.
Walking in we saw other people eating pizza which smelt delicious. However we had a group voucher so we had the platter instead. The wine was nice, food was nice and atmosphere was pleasant. It was so nice that we even purchased another bottle of wine to go with our platter.
Would definitely go back here again if we are in the area.

Doesn't seem like a independent winery, we believe this was just a reseller of other people's wines. Boy were we wrong.
The person who served us was the wine maker, he was pleasant, polite and knew his stuff. He did mention he use to be a wine judge so the wines he made were obviously to that standard.
After trying all his wine we all noted that, there isn't a sharp taste that most other wines have so we purchased a few and the intention to bring our friends at a later date and buy more.
Definitely one of my favourite winery so far.

These guys rocked up on time and proceeded to move things out in a quick manner. They used full padding so our items won't get damaged. They didn't really rest throughout the whole time. They do drive slow but its due to their respect for the contents.
Only downfall would be the fact that they did make indents in the wall whilst moving furniture upstairs. However in their defence our stairs were very narrow, however they didn't even apologise until we made note of it.
I would call them again because of their can do attitude and their relatively cheap rates.

Came here for dinner the other day visiting the area and saw this place and felt like Chinese food.
Starting with the soup, we then had a couple of dishes each to share on the table. We order the large special fried rice, the satay scallop and the chicken chow mein as we just wanted to taste a variety of their food. It was very average compared to what there has to offer in the city, but I guess this is good because this is the only Chinese shop in the area that we know about.
The price are high, for example a couple of their omelette dishes are over $15, I mean its just egg???
Would I come back? Only if I am desperate :P

If you can manage to get enough people, definitely come here to try the vegetarian banquet.
The duck was made with taro and deep fried, very oily but tasty. There were a few mushroom and tofu dishes. It didn't feel like I was eating vegetarian at all which was quite surprising. I've always called myself a meat lover but this is just exquisite.
