Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

While the surrounds could do with a bit of a spruce up, the dumplings are the reason to visit here. Very quickly seated and menus to table. Cutlery was next with a bottle of water & glasses. Cassie is always great, and with Bob in the kitchen a yummy meal is guaranteed. This time we had pork/chive and chicken/mushroom fried dumplings washed down with a bottle of rose. Nothing at all to fault there.
Perfect dumplings.

While uptight people on here smashing this small buisness maybe sit back and think what they’ve gone through over the last couple of years. Theyre working hard to bring it back to pre covid times so come and stay a night in a van and buy some wine to help them get back on their feet. Resturant opening in coming weeks so if we are back will be having a meal for sure. Get behind them dont hammer them because the grass is a bit long

Great dumplings, friendly service and wine was good. Dumplings were good value. The winery/campground/dumpling house combination somehow works. Area at the back is basic but convenient for campervans if you are visiting the zoo.

Called in for a Wine Tasting and bit of lunch. Charged $5 ea for a splash of 3 wines, all white as no Reds available for tasting. Ordered some Dumplings for lunch. The Whites were 2 different years of Reisling and a Verdello. All were very good, ended up buying a couple of bottles. Dumplings were superb, highly recommend. Ambience could do with some work though.

We popped in for a casual wine tasting over Easter weekend and came away with 3 bottles. Wine is good, the Host was welcoming and knowledgeable about the wine. However if you are expecting a touristy, commercial winery this is not for you. This is a small local business that has been hit hard by drought first, then Covid. Restaurant is currently closed but was recommended for authentic dumplings, hopefully will be back up and running next time we visit Dubbo. The Verdelho and Rose were my picks and actually not something I would usually buy but very nice. Please consider supoorting local.

This was the worst wine tasting ever. A woman came out from the back with support stockings on and poured us some wine. She showed no interest in us or the winery. The absolute worst wine tasting experience ever.

We visited in Nov 2020 and were disappointed. We planned to stay in our caravan with friends but were directed to park right next to septic tank which was broken and stunk!, grass overgrown and was worried we would find snakes. the facilities were filthy and the guy employed as caretaker was not interested at all. Very sad as this looks like it was once a stunning and thriving business. Chinese owners returned home during COVID and not returned. It really has a responisbility not to take customers at the moment until the facilities are cleaner and more welcoming - its actually not a good look for the owners or Dubbo. We were going to stay three nights but wanted to leave after 1 hour - stuck out the first night and thankfully found elsewhere the next day.

Went there hoping for a proper wine tasting experience but the whole thing was a bit weird.
The guy seemed to not know much about wine, with zero information given on his varieties.
Half the wines they didn’t have.
We tried two varieties of shiraz then my wife tried a rosè but the guy poured it in the same glass! Guess what the rosè tasted like?!!
On top of this the place didn’t seem very clean. Won’t be going back

There are new owners - they said only a couple of years. The wines we sampled were all pre 2019 so clearly made by previous owners. Grapes were rotting on the overgrown vines, bush land and grass growing out of control through the vineyard and driveway. The person serving us knew nothing about wine and was quite rude. It looks absolutely nothing like the beautiful photos online - it is dirty and overgrown. What a shame as it could have such huge potential but has been destroyed.

We booked and paid for two nights in our motorhome. Next day after our visit to the zoo we found our site had been given to someone else and we had to move to an uneven site with no close water. Next morning we left at 9am to find the gate padlocked, winery closed and no answer to our phone calls. Luckily another caravan told us the code to unlock the padlock which we had to been told about. Lost half an hour messing about ..not happy.
