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.

I’ve been a fan of this winery for almost 10 years. Their staff are knowledgeable and very friendly!
Their Giant Squid Ink & Squid Ink has been my favourite Shiraz! I always take a couple of bottles for my sister in the U.K. as when visiting she just lived there Shiraz!
I’m looking forward to sampling their Thick as water 2021 soon.

This winery taesting venue was something quote different, positioned favorably of the main road and inbetween the vines, it was easy to pull up and get straight in. A dramatic entrance awaits taking you into an experience that blends modern with rustic; from reflective auto sliding wall doors through to susepnded fireplaces and vineyard views. The vibe was clean and fresh and the service on point. And the wine... well that does not fail, priced slightly on the higher side, we can see why, as the depth of flavor and variety does not dissapoint. Stronly reccomened adding this one to your itinerary. You will not be dissapointed.

We had a great experience at the cellar door with our whole family. Our kids loved playing and smelling the wine as we tasted their amazing collection including their multi-award winning Giant Squid Ink. Big thank you to Campbell for the entire experience and the knowledge shared with us. We are so excited to have found wine we love for us and also to put down a bottle for each of our kids until their 18th. We will definitely be back.

Had a wonderful time at this boutique winery. I admire how they strive to make great quality wines and showcase to the world the best of Australian wines. Best of all, they offer a free tasting menu of their estate grown wines, including the $180/bottle Giant Squid Ink Shiraz! They are so proud of their wines that they just want people to come and enjoy them. My other favourite is the Sparkling Shiraz - the best sparkling red I’ve tried so far. Will definitely come again and maybe bring home a case of the Giant Squid Ink if I win the 1st division in the next lotto.

You need to watchout for the turn off as you can easily miss this family run affair.
Enjoy great wine and friendly service. The sparkling Shiraz is tops as is their signature Giant Squid Ink, but do yourself a favour & have a taste along their great range.

No fancy cellar door. Just great wine and friendly service. The sparkling Shiraz is amazing as is the Giant Squid Ink. But honestly all the wine was delicious.
