About
We make award winning wines from Tropical Fruit and no this does not mean they are sweet and sticky. They range from very dry wines to ports and they are all commercial standard. The wines are single-fruit wines, not blends. All the fruits we use have big flavours and we grow them in the organic way and in our own orchard. The flavours of the fruits are retained in the wine.

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.

Absolutely loved this place. So different to your winery experiences. Go in there and try them all. You can taste 4 then sales are expected, and fair enough.
Don't go by the bottle label. Listen to your host and learn all about pairing even though if I like it I drink it but it all made perfect sense.
As the driver I didn't taste all 11 but mainly because if I asked what you could possibly liken it to, I 100% knew I wouldn't enjoy it. EG like a Pinot Noir. You will be surprised in your mind what you thought you would like to what you will actually enjoy.
I am not a chocolate person and was something I'm sure I wouldn't like let alone purchase. We bought 12 bottles between 4 of us and opted for postage which is really reasonable.

We saw this winery written up while we were visiting Palm Cove so thought we would take a drive and check it out. These 'wines' are like nothing I have ever tasted before. There are 10 to choose from - and you get a taste of them all. I feel very rude as I cannot recall the name of our hostess but she was warm and welcoming and exceptionably knowledgeable about her wines - which she and her son now produce. Her husband has just retired. Incredibly all the ones I thought I would love - Mango, Lychee, Kaffir Lime were not my favorites and the ones I thought I wouldn't - Ginger (I hate ginger), Chocolate and Black Sapote - I absolutely loved. So if you go - Trust in the hostess - she reals knows her stuff and gets to know your palate very quickly. And don't worry if your flying - she organised for our 6 bottles to be posted to us in the ACT for $21!! If you want to have the hostess's full attention may I suggest you book - she then spreads people out over the day so you get 1:1 time with her/or her son. Definitely worth a visit.

Lovely service, with a wide range of tastings.
Set on a family run property and family run winery, the owner was lovely and accommodating.
We bought three wines and were super happy with the service and quality of the tastings.

We recently visited with relatives travelling from overseas. This was something fun to do in our own “back yard”. Hosts were very friendly, passionate and knowledgeable

Our group of four were a little sceptical about tasting tropical fruit wines - mango, passionfruit, ginger, lime etc - but we were really pleasantly surprised. We very much enjoyed the tasting and chatting with one of the owners. The wines are really delicious and interesting and you will definitely make a purchase. Definitely recommend a visit to this family owned and run business.

A little off the main road but well worth the trouble to find. All wines are made in-house from their own trees and vines. Tony and Trudie are very passionate about their wines

Trudi was fabulous. Ordered a case of wines to be delivered back to Sydney.
Definitely a place to visit. You drive through the property and park at the back.
Free tasting up to 4 wines. Around $25 per bottle.
So many flavours - passionfruit, mango.. loved the sticky wines.
They ship interstate.
TIP: Check out the creek around the corner for a refreshing swim - we had a dip before we had the wines. Well worth it!!

Went there for the novelty of a winery in FNQ, however the wine was really good. Particularly liked the mango wine.
4 tastings for free, or taste them all if you buy a bottle. It’s worth buying a bottle (around $25 each from memory) just for the experience and to enjoy the views while having a glass though.
A very genuine and non-pretentious winery, hosts were just as good. If you’re into wine, or alcohol at all, definitely drop in.

We needed to kill some time before our hotel check-in and this was the spot we chose. What a great last minute addition to our trip! The wines are fantastic made with fruit grown in the property. The hosts are the owners and have so much knowledge and experience to share. It was truly difficult to pick a favourite. Lovely option to ship a box of wine back home so you don’t have to cart it around or end up drinking it all before you even leave!

Some truly fabulous table and fortified wines made with mango, lychee, kaffir lime, passionfruit and more. The hosts are knowledgeable and welcoming, giving food suggestions for each wine. And sending boxes if 6 or 12 interstate. Well worth a visit.

We don't charge a fee but if you try more than 4 wines then you
are up for a bottle of wine for each person who tries 4 or more.

Peter W (Peter Wood) did not come to the Shannonvale Tropical Fruit Winery on this occasion. He has a personal dispute with me and this is a way of "punishing" me.
This is a form of business blackmail and I would like it stopped and this person to be notified that his membership will be withdrawn if it happens again.
Thank you,
Tony Woodall

The above is my response to the alleged visit by Peter W (Wood). I could find no other way of reporting this problem to you, TripAdvisor.
Hopefully someone from TripAdvisor will see this and fix the problem. Both of Peter Wood and my inability to report it to you.
