I visited Amelia Park on the 24th of March in the afternoon with my family of 13 from overseas to celebrate the marriage of my husband and I. We were very excited for Amelia Park, and from previous experiences it was terrific. A couple of years ago I had tried and loved their Pet Nat. I had been raving about this Pet Nat to my family. When we had our wine tasting I of course asked if they still stocked the Pet Nat and if we could have it as a tasting. The man who served us was an older Australian gentleman who said they didn't anymore. I enjoy natural wines and asked if they stock other natural wines and his response was "We only stock real wines" and left the room passively. At first, I didn't take much notice. But as the tasting went on he was short and dismissive with my family when serving us the tasting. I'm unsure if he had a problem with my family, as we are Asian and we did not know much about wine... hence why we were having a tasting. We went to buy our wines at the end and we ended up paying a decent $300-400. After selecting our wines, we were patiently waiting and my husband asked "Do we get our wines now?" as we were unsure if they were pick up on the spot or delivered and his response was "There is only one of me" and passively went on to get our wines. I am so so disappointed. Brought my family from Finland, New York, Sydney and Melbourne to Amelia Park and they were disappointed with the service we received. Such a shame as we have a large family and friends circle from all over the world, and will not be recommending Amelia Park to anyone else. The wines were nice, but shadowed by the poor service that was racist, unfriendly,...
Read moreI was down South visiting and catching up with some of Grace Insurance clients. One of the locals recommended we catch up at Amelia Park Restuarant. I always try research a new restuarant a bit before I visit the restaurant. All the reviews was great… nothing to lose so booked a table….
When you are down South, want to treat yourself… this is the place! The staff was polite and very friendly. From start to finish. I pretty much had no choice and did not even have to look at the menu. Hands down, slow roast Amelia Parks lamb shoulder. Also had unions rings added. Some veggies (amazing!)… Meat… o that’s my world. Cooked to perfection and so good. My guess is a foody, and even my guess could not stop complimenting on the tasty food.
To top it of had a lovely local wine from Amelia Park Winery. Loved it so much my client bought two bottles from the on site wine cellar.
Setting is neat, clean and have a lovely view over the vineyard. Changed our booking from outside to inside as it was a 38 degree day, no issues at all. Restuarant was well cooled and we preferred the window setting.
I can with confidence give our experience a big 5 Stars. With such friendly staff, great location, best food and wine… what more would you...
Read moreGreat wines and astounding service that goes above and beyond!!!!!!! Went in for a wine tasting on a whim and came out a changed person.
Here's the story. I love wine and I've tasted wine all over NZ and parts of Australia but more than anything else, I LOVE KFC hot and spicy. Alas, it's not available all year round in NZ nor it seems in Perth. With this pain hidden away in my subconscious mind, we walked into Amelia Park cellar door for a wine tasting.
The person hosting us for the tasting (I'm sorry I don't remember your name you most amazing of the hosts) poured us wine glass by glass while drawing out of us our deepest food and wine desires. Next thing you know, I'm teary over a spectacular rosè lamenting my inability to get hot and spicy KFC in NZ and my failed mission to find it in Perth.
Like a heroic saviour from a movie, she tells me the location of a KFC on my way back to Perth, that will have exactly what I need in my heart. Today, I got that piece of hot and spicy recipe KFC.
If this isn't a 3 Michelin star service, I don't know what is. Thank you Amelia Park. I...
