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.

Declan and the staff are always so welcoming. We have t visited since January and he remembered us and made us feel so welcome. We had a non wine drinker along to see if we could entice her and she raved about the wine so it was great to see one of our favs through her eyes. The wine and cheese tasting is always great and the great cellar door and staff make it special

Thanks we will see you again soon

we booked this experience for my dad's birthday. It was an enjoyable experience, a special mention to Chris who was a great host and was very knowledgeable. I learnt a lot about the history and what qualities to look for when tasting wines. I also enjoyed the cheeses as well. I will highly recommend this experience for people who enjoy wine tasting and want to learn more about wine making.

Our group had a fabulous experience at McCaffrey's Estate. Chris had our usually 'chatty' group enthralled from the moment he started the tasting. Whatever you pay him, he's worth double as we were sorry we had to leave. The wines were fabulous too.

Had the pleasure of spending not one hour but 2 hours at McCaffrey Estate, tasted some beautiful wines, with some complimentary cheeses. Thoroughly enjoyed the stories told by Chris our host, lots of laughs and a little bit of learning as well. Thanks Chris we enjoyed out time in your company and I’m sure we will return. We all purchased some quality wine. I particularly enjoyed the ‘Whistler’ Shiraz and the story that goes with the wine. Cheers Chris, Declan and Danielle.

Mr O’Brien was incredibly informative and delightful, he was able to explain and share stories in a way that is individualised to the person. He was humorous and personable

The wine and cheese tasting was not only good value for money, but Chris' explanation of the wine and the background of the wine names was very impressive. It was a wine tasting with friendly staff, a comfortable atmosphere, and delicious wines.
