You either get this place, or you don't. For the reviews with 1 star, they just didn't get it. If you are looking for a place that is for your Insta page, this is not for you. If you are looking for a truly down to earth location, with the most amazing wines, this is the place. Do not walk in with preconceived notions of what a winery should be. Allow Moondog to be himself and he will take you on a journey of his wine, the place and the history of wines in the area. I felt very relaxed and comfortable with Moondog.

If you are expecting the host to give you cocktails and falsehoods, you will be disappointed. Go in with a relaxed open mind and be taken on the journey. It's uniqueness is its gift to all wine lovers. Thanks Moondog. We will be back very...

We all stunk like smoke from the 2 minutes we...

If you're in McLaren Vale, do yourself a favor...
