We stopped in for the sparkling wine and cheese platter. MMMMdelicious and great value. The setting is just gorgeous amongst the vines,with geese on the pond. The outdoor seating area is so relaxing.
The young girl at the cellar door was exceptional. Very knowledgeable. We didn't try the whole range but enjoyed a quick tasting of 2 or 3. I had no idea Jansz had such a big selection.
The wine centre at Jasnz provides an excellent overview to the methods and traditions used by this company. The staff behind the bar are also very knowledgeable on the history and traditions of the Jasnz brand.All of this topped off by great champagne tasting options and explanations on why the varieties tasted and looked different.My wife (the champagne expert) and I had only just eaten, but the $30 cheese board with two glasses of champagne looked excellent value.My advise, don't be in a rush when coming here, so that you can appreciate the building, history, views and information. Then finish off the visit with a very reasonably priced glass of bubbles. As a non wine drinker, I found this place to very interesting.P.S. I know that they can't call it "champagne" however the history and methods employed by this vineyard should allow their product the title of champagne.
What beautiful sparkling wine they produce. We can highly recommend going to try their vintage selection. The flavours were complex and the staff attentive. The prices were not too outrageous and there was no charge for tasting. The cellar door had been done up relatively recently, with special attention paid so that the original timber beams could be kept (they were entire tree trunks). Worth a quick stop if you're in the area.
Host was friendly and informative, bubbles nice. Jansz is always good- worth a stop. The cellar door itself is quite interesting.
If you are a lover of Jansz fizz then take the time to drop in for a tasting. Louise (i think) was on when we dropped in and was happy to share her knowledge of the local wine and area. It's a lovely setting to but no food available.
Even though I live on the other side of the globe, I've visited this Cellar Door twice, now, and if I find myself back in the area (which I hope is the case), I'll go back again. I'm a huge fan of the bubbly, but that also means I drink quite a bit of it and understand the process while recognizing quality. This is quality stuff at significantly lower prices than the French cousins (of similar quality). Winemaker Natalie is passionate about her craft, knows her stuff, all while being charming and down-to-earth--real treat if you get to meet her. Meanwhile, we found the Cellar Door staff accommodating and friendly.
We visited this winery recently and were warmly welcomed by the ever so helpful Maxine.She couldn't be more informed of the wines. We loved learning about Jansz and what the region had to offer. Her nature made the experience a memorable one and a true highlight of our trip to tassie. Thank-you Maxine.
You are probably better off visiting a Dan Murphy's for tasting, the guy serving needed to recharge his batteries.Cafe looked nice!
Visiting the Jantz open cellar-door was a wonderful experience. The history of the winery and the production of wine from this area has connections to French wineries and champagne production dating back to the last century. I found the visit very interesting and a lovely stopover on the way to the Eastern coast of Tasmania from the Tamar Valley. Visiting the winery in early December I was offered all varieties of wines for tasting. The winery has beautiful grounds with geese, ponds, vineyards, and wonderful cellar door area which comprises an expansive open plan indoor room area with lovely art work a really pleasing experience and beautiful outdoor garden areas which are well set out with weathered timber seating. Cellar-door offers wine for sale as well as souvenirs from Jantz winery. Also on offer are substantial cheese platters which include a couple of glasses of Janz product for $30. One of the best Cellar-doors is in Tasmania I would suggest not missing a stop over at this winery and its neighbour Pipers Brook.
