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.

We went for a stock standard wine tasting but thanks to Bob we experienced a delightful tasting adventure. All the staff we met we wonderful but Bob was designated to look after the four of us and how lucky were we. His knowledge was exceptional and he taught us a few tricks that none of us were aware of. Not only did Bob know his wines he was an entertainer to boot which made the experience such a pleasurable experience. We highly recommend Red Hill Estate and we will be back to enjoy another great day. Ps. The wines were fantastic as well

What a sad come-down from the original and iconic Red Hill Estate.
The first impression as you open the door is the incredible noise bouncing off all those hard surfaces. Any chance of an enjoyable dining experience is lost as you see crowded guests shouting at each other to be heard.
The food is reasonable but mostly not made to order, so baffling that it should take so long to order and to serve.
The teenage wait staff were doing their best, but seemed poorly trained and even more poorly managed. Their mistakes were epic, but again it was not their fault that they were working in a three ring circus rather than a winery-restaurant.
What a shame that Red Hill Estate should devolve into such a mess.

We had booked a tasting with matched food.
While the wines were pleasant , the matched food was minimal. It was busy and as a result, the service was poor as the staff were run off their feet. On ordering more food, we had to endure a 50 minute wait for chips and bread! Staff were apologetic; however, the kitchen needed to keep them informed so that the customer was kept in the loop.

Amazing experience at Red Hill Estate with our wine connoisseur, Bob. We really enjoyed our wine tasting experience in Red Hill, Victoria. Bob was very knowledgeable knowledge of different types of wine, including their flavours, aromas, and characteristics. He gave a couple of suggestions and advises of what we should pick for our wine tasting. He also gave us an apple juice for our little companion since the restaurant was closed on public holiday weekend. The winery has quite an amazing wine selection which is not in the retail store. We've got a couple of bottles to take home to Canada. Most of all, thank you Bob for our amazing time at Red Hill!

We had a group of 7 and silly us we didn’t realise we needed to book. Bob however squeezed us in and hosted our wine experience. Bob made our day, he understood our group and read the sort of people we were which made it so much fun. Along with this the wines were Devine and a great price. I highly recommend tastings at this place and would go back again. Thank you!

Bob... you are the bomb! Thank you for the best wine tasting experience in my 48yrs! Your expertise, encouragement to step outside our comfort zone and humour made our weekend away. You went from group to group and we’re all over it! Stay fabulous you amazing human being. Did I mention the wines were so good and not a preservative rash in sight? So so good. Thank you Red Hill Estate. We’ll be back!!

Visiting Australia for the first time to see my daughter, I was taken to the Red Hill Estate because she had had an amazing wine tasting there with Bob and wanted me to experience it too.
I wasn’t disappointed!!!
It was brilliant… Bob was so very knowledgeable and he explained everything in such a way that you felt you had been on a course, whilst enjoying the most fabulous wines.But what really made it was his truly incredible sense of humour - thank you so much Bob and I wonder if you remember Marvin😂

Thanks for taking the time to share some feedback about your Red Estate Cellar Door visit janehS9629JE. If you scroll the reviews you'll see that Bob probably needs his own star ratings section! We're so pleased that your visit to our Cellar Door made an impression on your trip to Australia, and trust that you enjoyed the special time with your daughter.

On impulse we pulled into Red Hill Estate, a great impulse. We chose to taste the Mayumi but Bob was a wonderful guide and allowed us to venture beyond it. The wines were delicious and a wide range was offered. We will be back.

Amazing experience at Red Hill Estate. We had Bob as our wine connoisseur and we could not have asked for more. He had extensive knowledge of each wine and had a perfect food pairing for each. A really unique and special experience. Highly recommend. Thank you Bob!

No. They charged us $10 pp which was redeemable if you bought anything.

Is there an entry price?
And is booking essential for a Saturday?
Written 5 October 2015
There is no entry fee but you should definitely book for the restaurant. Even if just planning a tasting, it may not hurt to ring first to see if anything special is on that day.
