Good beer tasting and a lovely setup. We unfortunately went on a rainy day so the outdoor seating was not as pleasant as if it had been sunnier but service and experience was still good despite weather. We both preferred the Garden of Eden Farmhouse ale best. We also split the Brezel (soft pretzel with olive oil and mustard) and Brew grain crackers and baked Camembert. The crackers and cheese was the BEST! They really use every bit of the grain used in brewing that they can and it is so tasty! Grounds are also kid friendly and we saw plenty of people bring theirs.

The moment you turn into the driveway and drive through the gates you know you are in for something special. Beautiful building with inside booths looking out over to Te Mata Peak or outside in the tranquil herb garden. We booked a tasting and sat outside. Tasting delicious and informative by friendly staff. We then went for a look around the grounds which are truely amazing - immaculately maintained and walking though the grape vines was memorising with the Hills as a backdrop, This is a must visit if you are visiting Hawkes Bay. Accommodation is also available here.

A must see for all visiting the area. As a travelling party of three we booked last minute for the following day at 11am. The tour was beyond expectations and Lauren our tour guide provided us with a personal, informative and professional tour of all aspects of wine making at the winery. Culminating in an excellent wine tasting experience. Lauren demonstrated great passion, knowledge and enthusiasm regarding the wines and we look forward to hearing about Lauren gaining the recognition she deserves in the wine making industry. The cured meat and cheese platter in the cafe is a must. Thank you for a great experience.
