This is the second time within 6 months that I have visited this winery. The first visit was a pre-arranged booking of 9 in our group and there were a number of other bigger groups also engaging in tastings. The service was very slow and largely unprofessional for such a long-standing winery in the community. There were only 2 staff members, that I could see, moving around the groups doing the wine tastings, however this was very slow. I left this winery feeling a little disappointed but put in down to the winery being busier the expected. Recently I visited this winery again, I rang ahead to ensure they were open and that we didnt need a booking. This time we were only a group of 4, however again the service was very disappointing. Again only 2 staff on, it was mid morning and when we arrived there was only 2 other tables already engaged in tasting a couple and another group of 4. We were seated and the tasting of the first wine began, with an extremely long delay between the next wine. A few other groups arrived and started getting served their tasting, these groups that arrived after us were quickly seated and started progressing nicely through their tasting while we still waited for our third wine. I'm sorry guys but you seriously need to work on a better system to keep on top of the groups coming in and ensuring that other arent left waiting while you attend to other groups coming in after the first groups arrive. This was the first winery visit of the day and didnt want to spend all day just at this winery. Murrambateman has many other beautiful and that offer far better service. My advice...
Read moreMy partner and I visited the Murrambateman Winery as part of a Mystery Picnic and this goes without saying, the service and wine could not have been better! My partner doesn't even drink alcohol and yet he still had a wonderful time! Our host had an excellent sense of humour and was so welcoming. And every wine I tasted felt as though it had a story. You could taste the effort that had been poured into complimenting every ingredient. Every bottle was filled with so much creativity and care, it made the experience feel all that more special. I could not have asked for a better place to end our day. We will be back!
Also I highly recommend trying the wines pictured! All very unique and...
Read moreA wine & dog lovers dream! Had a wonderful tasting board with a lovely variety coupled with an informative and casual chat about the winery and its history. Enjoyed the puppies while we sat and sipped our wine. Although there wasn't a lunch service on the day we went, they were extra helpful getting us a reservation up the road. The wine at lunch was ok, but we ended up stopping back to buy a few more bottles and enjoy hearing more about all things wine and dogs! Such a lovely bunch doing some great things with wine and stole our hearts hearing about all the great charitable efforts they are involved in. Highly...
