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.

This was a 60th Birthday celebration with family and friends, table of 20. We had been to SHW a few years before and loved it. The restuarant was full and the food was fabulous. Not Now. I was so disappointed in the quality. The entree was adequate, but who puts slabs of Parmesan on a anti pasta plate? The Meatballs were OK and the Salt & Pepper Calamari overcooked. The mains being Veal Scallopini which was actually tenderised beef was cold and not to standard. The Pork Belly was served on a platter of Deb Mashed Potatoes (just make me vomit) and the small amount of vegetables served on that mess were not cooked. So they were pushed to the side of the plate because I couldn't even get my fork to puncture them. We also ordered Barramundi which came out about 20-30 minutes after the other 2 courses. I feel they forgot it was there as when we got it it was dry and horrible with little sauce or flavour. The dessert was Tiramisu and Panna Cotta...OK not fabulous. A Cheese platter which I wished I had never considered. When we had been here before the place was full, the food good. But there was only our table of 20 and later during the evening 2 couples. We will not be returning.

Great wine, great food and great service. Definitely one worth checking checking out when you're in the Southern Highlands.

This was our first stop on our Southern Highlands winery experience and it was a big disappointment particularly given we’ve been here before. It was cold pouring with rain but we’d booked a tasting for 6 people. The gates as we drove down the long driveway said wine tastings from 10am so didn’t think being there half an hr early was going to be a problem. I was very wrong omg. We were given a frosty greeting by restaurant staff who were busy setting up, you got through there to get to tasting room downstairs. I said I had a booking but could we start earlier as it was raining and our first stop had gone quicker than anticipated. We were told no our booking was 11am and the tasting room wasn’t open yet. Very odd given the time on gate was 10am. We huddled under a heater which had just been turned on and had to wait. When we did eventually go downstairs for tasting it was ordinary no atmosphere and unhelpful staff who weren’t really interested. We were offered a tasting board at $15 a couple but declined. I’m not sure why I bought any wine there other than I felt sorry for the people working there they were understaffed. Seriously lift your game and shove a smile on your face.

Great food- great atmosphere! We went to this vineyard to do a pre wedding visit. We feel in love with the venue; Eddie and team straight away. Fast forward 1 year and we then married there and continue to go
back regularly for lunches. This venue has amazing food and wine and will always be special.

The winery was in lockdown but offered picnic hampers for 5 people to be enjoyed either in the vineyard or elsewhere.
We were a party of 4 adults and 2 six yr olds.
The selection of food was of a high standard, very tasty and excellent value at $100.
Wines were at take-away prices of just $25/bottle.
We ate at a table in the courtyard, in full sunshine and sheltered from the wind.
The girls enjoyed playing with other children in the area.

Non Covid, we often have lunch at the restaurant on a Friday, but due to the closure we have been inhibited from doing so. When we saw a takeaway/home delivery dinner offering we took up the opportunity. So last night we ordered and the food as expected was excellent, but they also put in some freshly baked bread as a starter, desert and a few other treats. It also arrived on time, very impressed.

A wonderful place to spend a long lunch with fun company. The food was amazing, I thought I was in Italy. And the service and hospitality made me feel very welcome. The wine was delicate, fresh and soft and complimented the menu

Wonderful service and a truly memorable experience. My friends and I had the best time at Southern Highlands Winery! The wines are delicious and couldn’t recommend a visit here more.

Had a wonderful day at SHW. Went for wine tasting with husband and daughter. Cassandra was so friendly and helpful. Explained all the wines and gave us a tase of the sparkling. As a consequence we purchased 20 bottles. Then went to their restaurant and had a delicious lunch. Caprese Salad, Scotch fillet beautifully cooked and duck gnocchi. Service by Evo and Wydia and Canadian girl was first class with excellent attention to detail. Very impressive. Beautiful atmosphere and views. Highly recommended.

I had made a booking through our tour company 4 months ago for my 50th as part of our winery tour. They had “lost“ my booking, were not set up or prepared for us, told us they had lots of walk-ins so we had to wait. No apology was given.
The older woman who seemed to be in charge was so so so rude, to the point where she argued with me about my booking.
The girl serving the wines had no idea about the wines, there was no history of the winery, tasting serves weren’t even worth it - she gave everyone a few drops, not enough to properly taste with one mouthful let alone taste for a second time.
One of my guests witnessed the older woman telling the younger staff off in front of her - not at all professional.
There are much better wineries in the area with much better service - do not waste your time with this one.
