Their Barbera, Grenache, Tannat are all exceptional - the highlight being the Three Gardens SMG blend that really showcases their strength (and for a total bargain price too). I'm not the world's biggest port fan, but those in our party that were swooned at their Tawny. Staff were super nice even though they were busy at times juggling different groups. Been to the Barossa a heap and almost ashamed that this was my first time here - will be back soon for sure. * Of course you'll leave with a bottle or 12

The service was friendly and, most importantly, the wines are quite good, and they have a nice variety to try many different styles and varietals -- from a bubbly blanc de noirs (including not only pinot but also grenache), some good shiraz, and a cabernet that was our favorite so far that we have tried in Australia (and quite reasonably priced, as well.)

I need to preface this review by saying when my friend and I made reservations to eat here a few…read moreweeks ago, we had been on the road, wine tasting for many days. By the time we sat down to our meal--served either with or without wine pairings--we were, to put it bluntly, all boozed out. My good Melbournian mate, whose powers of drink are formidable, summed it up to the waitress: "I would never have thought to hear myself say this, but I simply can't drink anymore!" We had, instead, complimentary sparkling water all night. So this review lacks what is a key part of this (or any) fine meal. Hentley Farms is in an extremely lovely setting: the Barossa Valley at its finest. The wine tasting room is a bit too self-consciously rustic, but the restaurant across a short lawn is a wonderfully modern, understated place--elegant and unpretentiously Australian. The tables are well-spaced apart and the waitstaff are plentiful and attentive. There's a great deal of personal care and a sense of privacy for such a public eating space. It was a seven course degustation, as is common in finer restaurants these days, along with a number of bouche amusées. In general, each was attractively presented, along with an often exhaustive description of each course (also increasingly common these days). In the case of Hentley Farms, however, a sous chef instead of waitstaff is dispatched to explain each dish, which allowed me to ask several questions. The head chef came out at the end and spoke with us warmly. I thought this was a reasonable twist on what is a necessary, if occasionally annoying intrusion. The dishes themselves were, of course, beautiful to look at, and often to taste. The fresh oysters in passionfruit juice with the essence of rosemary steaming underneath them in dry ice was an especially memorable (and flavorful) dish. The egg custard palate cleanser between the main dishes and desserts was also spectacular, served charmingly in an eggshell. But like so many fine restaurants, Hentley suffered slightly from less than memorable main courses. The meal started well and finished well, with excellent appetizers (if you can really call any course that in a degustation menu) and sweets after. The two "main" courses, however, a vegetable dish and a selection of two meats, while well-prepared, were sadly largely forgettable. The desserts were fairly good, especially the "pops" and candies that were not part of the seven course offerings. I am not sure the dinner ranked as one of my finest culinary experiences, but overall I had a very pleasant and pleasurable experience. And for service, I can only compare Hentley Farms to Chez Panisse. It is an extremely well-run restaurant, with an eye for detail and the needs of the patron. That in itself can make all the difference between a good meal and refined dining.

They sat us down and put glasses in front of us, and started pouring and explaining about the wine we were drinking. Our host was excellent and answered all of our questions. After about 3 or 4 tastings, 2 huge charcuterie platters arrived, and they were perfect and paired well with the wines. We worked our way up to the best wines, and each one was more impressive than the last. And while Fortified Wine was not on the tasting schedule, they let us try some of the Port, delicious! After our tasting, we walked around the property and took a great photo of our group in front of their sign. All in all, great wine, great winery adn friendly staff- I WILL be back!

There's three or four price brackets for their wines too, which means there's something for every wine lover regardless of budget. The two workers were funny and friendly - definitely "characters" which made the visit an entertaining one. The chap was great at bringing different groups of tasters chatting and laughing together, making it such a relaxed atmosphere. (The two dogs sleeping by the fireplace didn't hurt either). Bonus for us was that we were invited back the next morning fort a barrel tasting session. We spent a great hour down there in a small group tasting five or six early versions of wines we had tried the afternoon before, as well as some new ones. Completely free too. Amazing experience. Note that there was a $5 suggested donation to a charity for all tastings, which they didn't push on customers at all, but it's a worth cause so pony up if you do pop in. The wines are well worth it.

There's a great selection of tea-ware too, cups, mugs, teapots, spoons, etc, which is bright and colourful. The attached cafe, called Monkey Nut Cafe, is great, good food and helpful, prompt service. But most people come for the wine, and it really is worth a drive up to the Barossa to enjoy the selection of reds, whites, a rose and ports.

It is such a heaving, complex beast, the winery, if you ever get a chance to check out the guts of one on your travels. Everything from planting, protecting, feeding and nurturing (I'm not kidding, Turkey Flat sprayed sunscreen on their vines last vintage! Who woulda thunk it!?) the vines, to the picking, producing, fermenting, bottling, marketing etc etc etc, there are a LOT of moving parts! And to try and understand them is why some people spend years at university learning the craft. However, most wineries won't give you all of their dirty little secrets (alright, some of them might, but they don't want to ruin their chance of a sale so it's unlikely!) that most of the winery workers know. Turkey Flat is the exception for me here. Not that there were any dirty little secrets to be told this time around, but the cellar door attendant, despite only doing 1 day a week, was extremely knowledgable about all of the wines and provided us with some great info on the various vintages, grapes and also general goings on in the area, following the Annual Barossa Vintage Festival which was held last weekend. Go check out the website for more info on the wines, and do yourself a favour and pop in here while you're up in the BV. It's a worthwhile experience and you will taste some truly magic wines.
