When we arrived I was gobsmacked. Krinklewood has to be one of the most beautiful wineries in the Hunter if not anywhere. It has a real Tuscan feel to it and there are chook and peacocks bobbing about (you can buy their fresh eggs here too). The staff were really friendly and really down to earth and if you're in a small group you can pull up a chair and table anywhere inside or out and they'll bring all the wines to you to taste. Even more surprising to me was that their wines were amazing. I'm not normally a white drinker but walked away with half a dozen of their Semmilon and quite a few reds. Just about everyone in the group bought something and quite a few of us joined their wine club as well. Definitely put Krinklewood on your list of vineyards to visit even if it is only just for the spectacular scenery.

The winery itself is lovely and the music in the courtyard and general atmosphere was inviting. The…read morething is, we came here to taste and, very likely, buy wine and that's where it went wrong. The tasting room didn't really seem to have anywhere to taste wine, the counter was being used as a bar so there was a queue of people buying what seemed like mostly bottles of Carlton Draft (sheesh, at least sell only decent beers) and odd glass of wine. We stood around for 10 minutes, I guess expecting that we were missing something but the tasting room cum bar continued. We left having tasted nor seen anyone tasting a single glass of wine. I appreciate the entrepreneurialism in creating somewhere that people want to come and hang out but it seems that this has taken over from what I believe should be your core activity. Wine tasting. As a couple who visited several wineries in the area and who always find ourselves purchasing several cases of wine to take with us, Joadja was so intent on creating a bar and selling beer that they left money on the table.

They offer a few different tastings, we went with the $5 13 wine and cheese tasting. Perfect timing between a big breakfast and a planned fancy dinner that night (yup, cheese and wine for lunch).

A cute thing is that they have postcard size cards with a recipe pairing for each of their wines, make sure to grab one if you buy a bottle. Also, the bathrooms were immaculate.

The space is beautiful, with an open and airy tasting room overlooking the vast vineyard (one of the few wineries in the area that grows its own grapes). There's a little something different about the wines here--the flavors are something of their own. I brought back a bottle of their oaked semillon, which was light and refreshing and stored in California Oak barrels (I'd get the same thing back here in CA if I could, but you certainly don't see a lot of semillon around here), as well as a bottle of their shiraz, which had a peppery kick to it. The lady who led us through the tastings (we had come with a tour group) was very sweet and seemed to love her job. We ended our visit with a tour of the wine cellar and the lovely outdoor area of the building, which reminded me of being in Tuscany but is apparently modeled after Southern Spain. I loved all the little details of the decor. Definitely worth stopping at!

Well, I thought I was going to have a glass but I ended up getting a tasting flight because it was so tempting. They offer wine by the glass, bottle, flight or you can do a tasting at the bar. It was a brilliant experience. The staff were really nice - pleasant, knowledgeable on product offerings and really relaxed. I got the 'come to the dark side' flight, which was all reds. I asked her to pour me a little less because I was driving and it comes out around 2 glasses in total. I asked her to pour me half of each and pour a full one of 'the best one.' After a long deliberation (she told me) she poured the shiraz as the full glass. I had always thought I didn't like shiraz. Well I was wrong - now I do! I will always remember that this was the place that taught me. My friend ordered a different flight that had whites and reds, and also a cheese pairing for the flight - they match each cheese to a wine. I tried all of hers and all her cheeses. Really liked the majority even though bubbles and certain types of white aren't as much my jam. Really great place and good value for money. A nice, classy experience without being intimidating or pretentious. I'd love to come back here again - and next time I'd make sure I wasn't driving. IT'S ON!!
