Perfect Sunny Day Activity - Really great experience in an amazing location; well worth the drive from our accomodation in Mansfield. Frank was incredible in our private tasting, going above and beyond with his extensive wine knowledge. Will definitely be returning!

A true gourmet experience. - Our daughter bought us the 'overnight food and wine escape'. We stayed Friday 30th June. Our private tutored wine tasting was booked for midday. On arrival we were greeted with “prepare to be pampered”, and boy were we pampered! We were taken on a marvellous tasting journey through the Pizzini wine portfolio for over an hour followed by two platters - one cheese, one meat - accompanied by a glass of wine of our choice. Our accommodation was at the Mountain View Hotel in Whitfield - a very comfortable king room. Dinner was in the hotel dining room. Just when we thought things couldn't get any better, they did! We experienced as good a meal as we've ever had - four courses with matched wines. None of our food courses were on the menu - they were prepared especially for us and they were all exquisite. Each course and wine were presented and explained most professionally. Our young waitress, Jemma, was knowledgable beyond her years about the wines and was obviously very passionate about her role. She explained that Pizzinis provide lots of training - it shows. Breakfast was continental, supplied in the room. A most enjoyable experience! If you want to buy someone a very special present, you won't do better than this.

Some lovely drops! - We pre booked this at a cost and it was well worthwhile. A personalised guided tour through old and new sparkling, white and red wines with the story of the vineyard development in the region. We loved the visit from Norbert, the vineyard dog. A really lovely afternoon!

Fabulous Pizzini - Highly recommend doing a seated wine tasting with an antipasto platter. The lovely staff, Isabelle and Michelle were so helpful and welcoming. We really enjoyed our time trying the different wines and having a perfectly put together platter while sitting in a comfortable spot enjoying the view. Plenty of good advice and information about the wines and the option of having dessert and coffee to finish. Just perfect.

Great staff, wine and ambiance - Upon approaching this well thought out winery you can feel you’ll be immersed into something special. And special it was. We first did a wine tasting with Mario and Marine and was blown away by there knowledge on not only the product that they represent but the industry as a whole, they just put things into such good perspective and were easy to understand. We then proceeded outside to have a coffee and some food before leaving and am pleased to say that this didn’t disappoint either. Then we bumped into one of the owners whom was more than happy to talk to us, and explained even more about the wines we had just tried. This was another layer of knowledge that was so unexpected but so appreciated. Lastly, we would like to thank all the staff that made our first trip here so memorable that we went back a couple of days later, keep doing a wonderful job, and we can only be selfish enough hoping you are here the next time we visit. Thanks.

Wow Wines - We enjoyed a most informative and generous tasting. Riccardo was full of well balanced knowledge of the wines he served and stories of his homeland interlaced. The wines were spectacular and the entire experience one we will seek to repeat in the future. Well done Pizzini wines and thank you Riccardo

Beautiful location, great wines but be prepared to have to serve yourself. - Staff shortages especially since Covid are well known, however at least some attempt at a little bit of customer service and assistance in a difficult situation would have gone a long way. The winery is set in a beautiful location and the grounds and surrounds are pretty and quaint. The wine is good and the salumi plate was adequate but having to carry trays of wine, wine glasses, plates, cutlery and water over a distance through a courtyard and over the lawn to a far away table is just not one of my finest skills. I'm glad I made it without toppling or losing the tray. I might add that I'm no spring chicken and wondered if I would have been given the same look of nonchalance, had I come in with a walking stick or a Zimmer frame! Strange thing is that the single salumi plate was delivered to our table a short time later by a staff member! 💡PS. I have since found the wines are available through Dan Murphy, so unless you want to see the beautiful location, you can sample the good wines without having to visit the winery and it's self service. Also there are two venues close by that do have provide table service.
