The only comment I have to make is that the delicious wine tasting was slightly spoilt by the $10 tasting per person redeemable on each $50 spent. A bit steep when other well known wineries don’t have a tasting fee! However our attendant was knowledgeable and efficient. The wines were wonderful as always.

A young guy served us but he was obviously keen and had very good knowledge. This meant we had the opportunity to talk in depth about the wines and about others not tasted. We had an excellent tasting of some lovely wines. We were also fortunate to get to meet the man himself: Jim Barry.

Simple cellar door layout, nothing fancy. Our tasting guide was very helpful, knowledgeable and generous with tastes of wine not on the list like aged riesling and even a vintage Armagh. It's easy to see why Clare Valley is so famous. The Armagh was amazing. I certainly agree with the notion that 2 Armaghs are better value for money than one Grange!

Immersion tasting w the Darling Wife and Learning Daughter. Fabulously presented by George who managed us and various multitudes who drifted into the tasting room over the course of events with aplomb. I bought way too much wine as a result.

great wine and great family with a personal touch A winery and family that cater for all. including accommodation as required

We had a really good tasting here. The person helping us was quite knowledgeable about their wines and we liked most of them but chose two to bring home that we really liked.

Arrived late Easter Sunday to find George providing excellent service and knowledge of the great Jim Barry wines. Well done George- thanks much

This was amazing, a truly personal experience with the effervescent Olivia Barry hosting us, introducing her dad, the legendary Peter Barry. Together they are the most genuine & generous people, who went out of their way to make this a truly memorable visit - recognising our appreciation for their deep family history & links to the terroir of the Clare. We toured the winery, then it was off to the high country Lodge Hill vineyard where they grow Riesling, Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon & Assyrtiko (from cuttings obtained by Peter in Santorini). Spectacular countryside. Then we were off to the lovely Sevenhill church of St Aloysius. Olivia then took us onto Clos de Clare, the beautiful Florita Vineyard for a Riesling vertical tasting. This was great. Well tendered vineyard & gardens (great work Lloyd). After that, we had an absolutely top class 7 course lunch at the historic Watervale Hotel (superbly renovated building, outstanding food & hospitality). After lunch, we visited the Armagh Hut, for the next highlight - a tasting of the famous Jim Barry red wines (including Pb, Benbournie, McRae Wood), with tastings of 2 vintages of The Armagh - outstanding experience. Best day ever!

Cathy and George at the Cellar door tasting were outstanding hosts. We were also extremely fortunate to meet Peter Barry, current owner and son of the original winemaker, Jim Barry. Peter gave us an extraordinary insight to the history and current activity. It was a great privilege to become his guests. The wines are outstanding and we left with bottles of Wolta Wolta (a Riesling collaboration with Germany) and Armagh, the top Shiraz. Jim Barry wines not to be missed at the Clare Valley.

Just wanted to compliment Cathy who hosted our tasting today, She was so knowledgeable and interesting. Made us feel very welcome and a great representative of the winery. Wines were amazing!

The Clare Valley is best known for its white wines, especially riesling. It is said that riesling should have an edge to it, but sometimes I think it's just under ripe, I think the Jim Barry reds are the pick of the bunch, particularly the shiraz We were passing through, but I'm glad we stopped off.

Olivia drove all the way from Adelaide to give just myself a 2 hr full Jim Barry tasting. Amazing service, so much interesting info and perspectives whilst not being pushy at all. Wonderful wines, so interesting to compare Coonawarra to Clare and of course the amazing Armagh, with the 2012 being my personal favourite. Thank you Olivia, we will be recommending you and Jim Barry wines to all our friends.

We have done a lot of tastings in SA, VIC and Tas, and this 2 hour tasting was the best that we have ever experienced. Colourful and detailed conversation with Olivia, with each of the 15 wines tasted and with some comparisons between their Clare and Coonawarra wines. Olivia was the most charming and intelligent host with so many stories of her brothers, father and grandfather and could not have done more to make us feel more welcome. Will be recommending to all in Melbourne to go and experience Thank you Olivia. We will be back and bringing friends. Collette and Peter

We love visiting Jim Barry wines. The people are always super friendly and of course the wine selection is varied so everyone is bound to find something they like! Some wineries don't give you the story behind their wines but Olivia Barry, Brand Ambassador, has so many wonderful stories to tell that it really adds to the whole experience. It is one of the MUST visit wineries when visiting Clare.

We had just ridden some of the Riesling trail and on our way back into town we swung into Jim Barry. We have tasted some of this wine but never actually gone to the cellar door. We were missing out. The wine is incredible and the personal service from Olivia was outstanding. Don’t get FOMO you need to visit this place when your are in the Clare
