This is the unique private owned winery in SA, the only place where you can find meads. They have the plenty of choices: chocolate mead, orange mead, etc and loved every one I tasted. They have a range of ports and wines too. The tasting is free. The atmosphere is very friendly and quiet, I love the owners treat their guests.
We visited on out first wedding anniversary and were greeted by Karen, tasted some fantastic wines and ports and really enjoyed our visit. Out hosts were so helpful, friendly and informative, we had such a good experience and would highly recommend to anyone. Of the 5 wineries we visited in the area, this one was our favourite! Add it to your list!
Had a short stop over for the wines. Chateau Dorrien has always been on my regular list to visit for wine tasting when I am at Barossa valley.Friendly staff and informative of the history behind the place and also the different styles of wines. Tried a range of wine and really liked the Late harvest Sermillion, the golden color, aroma and taste on the palette as a whole is really good. A highly recommended alternative to other big commercial wine around the region (i.e. Jacobs Creek)
Highly recommended, very friendly tasting, some interesting wines (and meads as well) and prices that are lower than the standard of wines would suggest, very much worth a trip
Honey Mead was delicious, the staff informative, the displays and the mineral display is great for kids (and adults!). A must visit.
This has been favourite of mine since I was a kid. Murals painted on huge wine barrels tell the history of the Barossa Valley Wine Region, weekend markets are fun, free wine & mead tasting, and love the meads (both the spicy hot ones & the cool choccie flavours). Free sightseeing, extremely inexpensive market, great value meads. Something here for everyone!
Loved it here, my fav of all our wine tasting experiences. OMG the Choc and jaffa mean is a must buy and if you love rum and raisin I stress you to get the Buccaneer Rum, amazing on a cold winters night with some dark choclate. Perfect. The winery itself is enchanting with its rustic charms and smells of aging port. They even have a few gift shop stalls inside with some very unique collectables. Highly recommed. I couldn;t resist a bottle of the spicy mead warmed up.
We were visiting Barossa valley. I think their selection of wines were great and tasty. I especially enjoy their 2010 Shiraz.
We went specifically to try the mead. My favourite was their spicy mead which is served warm/hot. Its absolutely delicious. Unfortunately, they do not deliver. I bought as much as my travel allowance back would allow. The place is small but homely and very quaint. Its the perfect setting for their mead. The couple was lovely and really took the time to show case their mead. There was 9 of us and everyone really enjoyed the wine and the atmosphere of the place. Truly special. If you are in the area, definitely a must-do.
This place is more than a winery, it's a museum that sells wine. It's a must visit and enjoy both the wine and what else it has to offer the visitor.
