The wine was great and the stories behind them were memorable. Our tour was also very interesting to see some of the original equipment and bottles from the 1950’s.

Our guide was great very informative and engaging with the history of Penfolds. Nice small group and not rushed with the tastings of some great wines. Ended up spending the afternoon having a meal and a bottle of wine, food was incredible as was the staff!!

Fabulous visit, tour and tasting at this iconic vineyard. The ultimate tasting which was 6 top wines also includes a taste of many of the top wines - The Grange, RWT and The Yattarna Chardonnay to name a few. Our guide was Ivan who was incredibly helpful and informative in this fantastic cellar door and vineyard tour. The cellar door is very spacious and merges the old history of the Penfolds site with the very modern cellar door.

Booked this "Ultimate experience" with expectation to have the fine wine tasting including world reknown Grange in a beautiful, calm settings as per homepage. It turned out, not. Tour in the winery was informative, yet in a quite rush, A true disssapointment was when we were sat at a corner of an open loud lounge for $150 worth wine tasting. Just a small coffee table was prepared on which they jammed glasses and price lists. It was not possible to examine the colour of the wine as the table was black and sun reflection from the window behind was too strong. Explanation and walk-through of wine was one-sided. the guide walked away soon after he poured us wine. May be the reason that they were occupied with VIP or private function guests in private tasting rooms, but we did not feel our experience was worth the price.

This is fabulous tour and tasting experience. The tour by Ivan was hugely informative and took us through the original old workings of the circa 1844 estate, complete with a visit to Dr Penfold’s original house and office and the original stone buildings and cellars. Marvel at the Grange Hermitage cellar and feast your eyes at 1950s wines. The tasting includes 8 different wines varying from $40 to $135 per bottle. Very good value for money. Without doubt the best value for money tasting I’ve ever had.

Our guide Gigi is a font of information. Gigi is passionate about the history and heritage within the Penfold family dream. She displays a knowledge of the process second to none. Gigli shares her knowledge and training in such a professional manner. Thankyou to Penfold for the experience that we as a group of six spoke about for the rest of today. Thankyou, John and Ali

The visit and explanation are fun but not really useful for wine's professional as the tasting, the staff is kind and smart but you feel every time in the hurry during the tasting and the staff is not qualified to respond to you when you ask basic question ( when you are a professional of wine) Definitely, if you are just interested tourist this place is good but if you work in wine industry, pass your path.
