The surrounding area around the winery was just stunning! The grounds were well maintained and beautiful! The wine tasting was a little expensive ($10/person for only 4 wines) and the service was not the best! The French guy was too busy with too many guest that he took too long to come to us. Maybe we were not big spending customers but would have been nice to get a bit better service.
we had a lovely tasting in a beautiful setting and the wines are quite nice. We took the Cheese platter which at 70AUD was a rather small portion for the price , but we understand that a lot of if is local produce. The cheeses were excellent. I would suggest having a snack before coming here for the wine tasting.
Wine tasting in the barrel hall was super cool. Experience was fantastic. Worth the visit and time spent there was amazing.
We stopped at Cape Mentelle to kill a bit of time before checking in to our accommodation. Upon entering, we were immediately greeted by a warm, friendly sommelier who escorted us to the barrel hall for a wine tasting. Customers are given an iPad to browse the wines available and read a detailed overview of them, before making a selection of 6 different tasters for $15 pp. We picked our 6 (all fantastic!) and the sommelier even threw in their flagship 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon to try as well. Our favourites were the Chardonnay and the 2020 Cabernet Sauvignon, so we bought a couple of bottles to take home. Fantastic wines, a beautiful, relaxed space, and highly professional and knowledgeable staff. We'd definitely recommend this winery over others.
Danny was absolutely excellent and delivered an amazing experience - we aren’t used to these sorts of experiences where it is just the two of us and it was brilliant; Danny took his time to take us through the wines, showed us how to decipher some of the tastes and gave us a full explanation of Cape Mentelle. Thank you - this was a great part of our honeymoon trip!
Hi Nick, Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear that Danny provided an excellent experience and made your visit special. It's great to know that you enjoyed the personalized wine tasting and the detailed insights into our wines and Cape Mentelle. We're honored to have been a part of your honeymoon trip and hope to welcome you back in the future. Congratulations and best wishes on your new journey together!
Fair to say that I wasn’t the biggest fan of the Cape Mentelle experience. It was pretty busy and I found it to be impersonal compared to other vineyards. The staff were friendly and clearing trying their best but it’s hard to be attentive going between numerous groups. Also, the use of an iPad for tasting notes rather than getting a rundown from staff also takes away from the experience. Each to their own but not for me.
HI Andy, Thank you for sharing your feedback. We're sorry to hear that your experience at Cape Mentelle did not meet your expectations. We strive to provide a personal and memorable experience for all our guests, and we apologize if we fell short during your visit. We appreciate your understanding of our staff's efforts, especially during busy times. Your comments about the use of an iPad for tasting notes are noted, and we'll consider how we can improve this aspect of our service to make it more engaging. We hope you'll give us another chance in the future to provide a more personalized experience.
The wives are very good, staff very friendly and the place is very warning. To be between that many barrels it's an experience not to be missed
Thank you for taking time to review your visit at Cape Mentelle. We are so pleased you had a great tasting time at the cellar door. We hope you visit again soon, perhaps try our Behind the Scenes tour or Back Vintage wine tasting on your next visit.
4 of us had a private wine tasting which was very informative. The wines were the best that we tried out of 4 wineries we toured and sampled as was the knowledge of our hostess. After our tasting we shown around some of the vats and barrel storage area. Finished off with a glass of our favorite wine and cheese and nibbles platter. A lovely experience.
Dear Janet and Ian, It is always so rewarding for our cellar door team to receive such positive feedback! Our customer experience is of utmost importance and I am thrilled you all had a lovely time at Cape Mentelle. We look forward to welcoming you all again soon, Until then, Julie
What an amazing experience! Our guide Julie, was knowledgeable, professional and friendly. It was so great to learn about the winery, it’s history and of course the wine itself. Definitely recommend a private wine tasting. Thank you
Hi Michelle, It was such a pleasure to host you both and chat about all things wine! Private tastings certainly allow one to ask the questions that otherwise time simply does not allow. I hope you continue to enjoy Cape Mentelle wines with friends and family. Until next time, Best wishes Julie Cellardoor Team
We did the Private Wine Tasting in the Cellar room which whilst more expensive was a great experience. Being seated and having someone go through the wine tasting with you one by one (although they didn’t drink obviously) was a new experience for us (and we visit wineries a lot). We had Kate I believe who was very generous with her time answering our questions. It felt like a special / unique experience. We became members, shipping wine back to NSW!
Dear Loumc80, Kate is thrilled that you both enjoyed the private tasting and took the opportunity to ask questions which is all part of ones ongoing wine adventures! We look forward to your return and in the meantime enjoy your selection of Cape Mentelle wines with family and friends. Until next time, The Cellar Door Team
