Every visitor praises the wines themselves, the staff by name (Karen, Rachel, Sheree, Conrad), and the feeling of being genuinely welcomed at a small, family-run place. Most return or recommend to friends. In recent months the standout is Lenny the dog, who reviewers mention by name and clearly enjoy, alongside the personal touches like birthday gestures and detailed wine knowledge.
Practical strengths: affordable pricing for the quality; tastings feel unhurried and personalized rather than rushed through. The 2024 grape-picking event got its own mention. Staff offer local tour advice. No complaints in the last year about the wines, service, or pricing.
All 10 reviewers gave five stars over a decade. They praise the organic, low-preservative range, describe staff as warm and knowledgeable, and say prices represent good value. Visitors call out specific wines (Lantana rosé, Riesling) as distinctive and worth the drive to Cowaramup.
Since opening, Wayfinder has impressed nearly every visitor with its polished venue, skilled kitchen, and genuinely knowledgeable staff. The cellar door and restaurant feel far more established than they are, partly because Chef Pratt and the team (notably Paige on hospitality) seem invested in every detail, from wine pairings to the farm-to-plate dishes. One customer felt let down by inflexible rebooking after a schedule change, but overwhelming recent feedback suggests this is settled practice now.
MadFish Wines sits on a breathtaking compound in Cowaramup with dual wine labels (Mad Fish and Howard Park) and draws regular praise for its relaxed tasting experience, knowledgeable staff, and scenic gardens. Strong recent reviews highlight accessible red and white wines, generous tasting deals like 12 bottles of Cabernet for $100, and a genuine family-friendly atmosphere that keeps visitors returning.
