Renzaglia Wines (open by appointment only) — Attraction in O'Connell

Group of 8 went for wine tasting at the vineyard. The vineyard itself was picturesque and we were welcomed by an amazing host who catered to our needs and was more than happy to show us the ropes with wine tasting.

For the more experienced wine tasters in the group, the hosts were able to provide them with detailed knowledge and answered all their questions.

Sam, Sandy and Mark, together with their dog, Ellie, were very generous with their time, knowledge and lovely wines!

Ellie was as accommodating and professional as her owners. She not only tolerated our three dogs, but also willingly shared her toys and home. Would definitely recommend to anyone visiting, or local to, the area. Our party of six all left with different bottles (together with one very tired and...
