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.

Even though we all definitely had our favourites, every wine tasted was really good. ...not one we didn't like. All done over Zoom, Pierre guided us through the Tastings with great enthusiasm and knowledge, spending time with us
in getting to know more about the Krinklewood Biodynamic wines. Especially enjoyed that some Amber/Orange wines were added into the mix. Well done Krinklewood. you didn't disappoint. We look forward to a visit when we try out the new accomodation facilities.

Such a beautiful spot made more memorable by the spot-on decor and fit -out, staff that were professional yet so approachable and friendly, the wines are really enjoyable and the tasting process was unemcumbered and cruisy. Just the way we like it.
My kids played chess and got acquainted with Polar and the peacocks and my wife and I enjoyed a platter and tasting of 6 wines. Sunny weather made it great but it’s winter so it was cold. They had heaters outside and offered blankets.

We popped into Krinklewood and fell in love. From the gorgeous marmot doggy that greeted us upon arrival to the stunning grounds. The wine was so good we joined as members and purchased a case to take home.
The citrus orchard and outlook was stunning.
We will be back to see the trees in bloom and sample the cheese platters. And we will be back in summer to drink and laze around the pool!
Close by is the River Woods soap shop and this shop supplies Krinklewood with their delicious olives.

Came to Krinklewood with a group of friends & after going through 2 wineries in Pokolbin, obviously we saved the best for last.. what an amazing place. The cellar door and grounds are like no other in the wine region - hands down best place of the whole day by a mile!! Staff are welcoming and beautiful. Left with a box of wine & a mango gelato in hand.

We love visiting on a sunny afternoon. The setting and surrounds make you feel like you are in France. The wines are always great and this time we really enjoyed the Rosè and also the sparkling pink they had on offer. The Rosè was so almost clear but had strong flavour.

A must visit! A little slice of France in the Hunter Valley. Oscar, his family and team are just an absolute delight to work with. My family and I have visited on multiple occasions now - whether it be to taste their amazing wines (we especially love their sparking and rose), or to purchase more of their insanely delicious honey! We recently even held our wedding recovery lunch in the private pool area, which was the perfect way to end such a special weekend with our loved ones. Can't wait to catch up with Oscar and team again - love from us all!! T & Family x

Slightly different review. We had a great evening with Pierre giving us a virtual wine tasting over zoom
We had 4 couple together and Pierre took us through the white wine sampler from Krinklewood.
Loved the French accent and Pierre was both informative and great company.
We had a great evening and broadened our horizons with some different whites.
Thanks Pierre - looking forward to doing it again either virtually, or even better, in person.

Krinklewood is the prettiest vineyard you will find in the Hunter Valley and the wines are excellent. It is like a slice of the South of France in Australia. Oscar, Pierre and the team make it a special wine tasting experience. I became a member last year and really enjoy my four delivieries throughout the year. I can't recommend Krinklewood enough!

Krinklewood Vineyard is just gorgeous! We had a wonderful couple of hours at this beautiful vineyard, sitting in the French provincial courtyard, served a delicious charcuterie board and a amazing wine tasting. The staff member serving us was so knowledgeable and gave us extra tastings! After visiting many wineries, this is the first one we joined because the wines were so so good and we loved the organic and biodynamic principles followed, but above all the friendly service and wonderful experience made us feel that we wanted to take a piece of Krinklewood home to our everyday life! We will be back 😊

Krinklewood is my absolute favourite winery in the Hunter Valley! I have been a member for while now and still make the trip out to visit the cellar door every time. You couldn’t ask for a better wine tasting experience - breathtaking scenery, delicious wines and friendly, knowledgeable staff. Krinklewood is a must visit when in the Hunter! You won’t be disappointed.
