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.

What travellers are saying
- Douglas R45 contributionsThere are so many great spots in the Vale but this has to be right at the top. A wonderful near 360 degree panorama over the vineyard with a vine shaded veranda. The staff were excellent and the wines superb. Nothing to fault.Written 16 January 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Kathryn DMelbourne, Australia58 contributionsThis was a great spot as an introduction to Adelaide wineries. The grounds and artworks were amazing, the building itself beautiful. I particularly enjoyed the wine tasting as part of the ticket, there were some really lovely wines on offer! I would highly recommend to anyone, even those not interested in wine as the building was a work of art and enjoyable.Written 8 January 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- RosMelbourne, Australia1 contributionWe had a wonderful time at Fox Creek Wines. 6 of us did a tasting hosted by Clare. We loved all the wines and we loved Clare! We had such a good time that we returned for the Silver Fox Friday lunch and thoroughly enjoyed that too. Everything about this place is good — the wines, the lovely staff, the beautiful setting. We highly recommend Fox Creek Wines.Written 2 September 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Jo RawsonAdelaide, Australia46 contributionsVelvet Glove Experience
Ahhh… Mollydooker… you never disappoint. We joined a small group Velvet GloveExperience. Warmly welcomed by Clive doing his first tour. Beautiful setting overlooking the vines, followed by a tour through the winery with fabulous views over the winery and surrounding McLarenVale district. Premium tasting of the full range of gorgeous wines, large platter of local produce. A wonderful 3 hours spent with Clive and left with a boot full of the best wine McLaren Vale has to offer!Written 31 May 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Jahnu CToronto, Australia65 contributionsWe did a run down to McLaren Vale just for a poke around to see some of the wineries. We had had d'Arenberg put the hard word onto use for an entry fee (even before a civil hello), then been over to Coriole already (another delight, and review coming) and were in the mood for a tasting and something light to eat. It was suggested that we might want to try Wirra Wirra, and so we popped into the car for the short drive there and were so pleasantly surprised when we got there.
Their facility is a lovely setting overlooking the vines, with a huge grassed area and both indoor and outdoor tasting tables. We thought we'd match our tasting with a platter for lunch and were blown away when the platter arrived. So much good local produce, and the pate was amazing.
Jacob was looking after us, and his knowledge was superb. Tied to his easy conversation style, it made for an extremely enjoyable few hours.
We had our pups with us, and after we finished eating we went and got them and they joined us at our outdoor table while we finished a glass of our fav wine from the day, and followed it up with some great tea and coffee.
All the staff were attentive and friendly, so all in all just a great afternoon out.
(Please note: Tripadvisor forced us to answer about a tour. We did not do a tour at all, just the tasting and platter. Making that a required answer is just ridiculous on their part when a venue doesn't only do tours.)Written 27 September 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Not only is it a beautiful property, but Lorina made our experience truly memorable. She took care of us as if we were family, spending time explaining all of the wines to us with joy and enthusiasm. The “first run” olive oil is truly extraordinary. And each wine was better than the last. This is a gem in McLaren Vale and I would return to the area simply for this winery. Our favorite place of the trip!Written 23 July 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.

The food was beautifully laid out, with lots of variety to choose from. The setting was perfect, with comfortable cushions and lawn games. Belinda did an excellent job introducing the wines, and it was really special to see the old cellar.Written 3 December 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
