St Anne's Winery Echuca — Attraction in Moama

Was at the Echuca outlet on Friday. Mary- Anne looked after us brilliantly! Friendly, good natured, patient and accomodating. Walked away with a couple of boxes of delicious St Anne varieties. What a difference our experience has been in Echuca!! Recent trips to Yarra Valley and Mornington Peninsula made me think the world has changed. $15 tasting fees, non-refundable on purchase, the $15 gets you a taste of 3 wines only, cellar door prices upwards of $40 for the basic varieties and an attitude of get on with it if you're not gonna buy anything...

Thank you St Anne and thank you Mary Anne for restoring our faith in a quality cellar door winery...

Whether our experience of the wine was coloured by the presentation I cannot be sure, but we found the wines to be inferior and not worthy of the reputation this winery has...

Ok not really a scam but it’s really a great place that’s worth visiting. The lovely girl talked to me about the barrels for 15 minutes even knowing I wasn’t buying till I get back from overseas in 3 months. I enjoyed the time here and I am looking forward to coming back. We bought up big this trip and their wines/ports are very good and that says a lot from me since I grew up in the...
