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’ve been here nearly two weeks and have tried all the wineries and this place ticks all the boxes. Initially we arrived by accident on a VERY busy Sunday (pizza day) so we did a quick wine tasting, bought a few bottles and went on...with the ambition to come back on a quieter day. 8 days later and we are so glad we came back to test this place out for lunch as well as some local beer & wine that we didn’t try first time around. Firstly, the staff on both occasions were friendly and welcoming, but the service by Mel today was exceptional. Thanks for looking after us in such an informal yet attentive manner, we felt this was the best service we’ve had in KI this whole trip. Hubby tried the drone wheat beer which he described as a true home-brew style. I enjoyed their excellent oaky chardy by the glass. We also got a bottle of the captain cab sauv which is their flagship wine, truly delicious! We even grabbed another bottle of this to store away. Lunch was two pies (one beef & red wine, the other chicken & leek) both generous in size with a little garnish of roasted veg and tomato sauce. Came out piping hot with crispy pastry - can highly recommend. Sitting out overlooking the gorgeous green garden & vines, surrounded by bird life, puppies and other farm animals we highly recommend you stop by for an hour or three to take in this wonderful cellar door.More

Nice little spot for a tasting/glass of wine a bite to eat and for the kids to run around. Wines are ok without being great. Brisket sub wasn’t a standout. Doing everything else well. Worth the drive.

Stopped in here for both lunch and some wine tasting and both were good. The wine tasting paddle is good value, 4 wines with tasting notes. The port was so good we bought a bottle. Lunch was good and great; the daily special of chickpea...soup with chicken was a standout out; fresh, tasty, presented well. The beef pie, however, fell a tiny bit short. I'm not criticising as I fully understand the issues facing small volume restaurant's and trying to project what you will serve each day; but the pie had been microwaved. It was tasty, full of meat, nicely presented and I enjoyed it, but I really had hoped it was warmed in an oven. Or perhaps it was that the chickpea soup was so much better? The premises are very nice, plenty of chairs, a fire inside and outside, a playground for kids and welcoming staff. I'd absolutely return for wine and food again.More

Great selection of lovely wines. We enjoyed the handmade pies and the cheese board with the wine tasting. Lots of seating on the veranda overlooking their vineyard. Staff were friendly and energetic!

Visited False Cape Wines before making the return trip on the ferry and so glad we did. Set amongst vineyards thus boutique winery offers both outdoor and indoor seating with a fair selection of tasting wines and accompanying foods. The children particularly enjoyed the menagerie...of sheep, pigs, llamas, chooks and ducks as well as having a basketball hoop to keep them occupied. Very friendly and informative staff in this family run winery and good wines.More

Stopped in the afternoon and were welcomed by a very pleasant hostess. French winemaker we are told ,who spends half his time in France and half in Kangaroo Island. Opted for the 3 Red and 3 White tasting paddles(($10 each) and it was no problem...to change the Chardonnay to Sauvignon Blanc. I surprised my partner by ordering the chicken rillettes(($18) with plain crackers to accompany the wines and this was a good decision. Enjoyed all 3 whites Pinot Gris ,Sav.Blanc and, Riesling being the standout. The reds were Ok but the best was the Sangiovese which was surprising. The rillettes went so well with the wines. On leaving we noticed a big turkey out in the semi high grass. Cheekily I asked how much to buy it. The hostess said NO it has 12 young, which it did and only a few days old. Very cute. Nice way to spend your time and money!!!More
