What recent reviews say

Max, Caroline, Shay, Shaun and the wider team turn wine tasting into genuine conversation. Visitors consistently report feeling welcomed into a personal, unhurried space rather than a transactional cellar door, with knowledgeable staff who answer questions and encourage exploration at your own pace.

The vineyard itself delivers: beautiful grounds by the creek with a wood fire, comfortable outdoor seating overlooking river views, and enough quality and range in the wine list to satisfy both casual drinkers and those from strong wine cultures. Dog owners and small group bookings (the business hosts private blending workshops for 50+) both leave happy.

Praised for
  • knowledgeable and friendly hosts (Max, Caroline, Shay, Shaun, Andy)
  • wine quality and range
  • relaxed, personal experience over formal tasting
  • beautiful grounds with river views and outdoor seating

Vasse Felix draws visitors back year after year for its wines, vineyard setting, and dining.
