Average place

This place was average. The views are nice on the walk down but none whilst you’re there. 10 dollars gets you 4 samples. Our host however was very welcoming and informative. The wine is processed elsewhereMore

Lovely tasting

A very relaxed vineyard with wines ready now or ready for the cellar. The rose was wonderfully refreshing on a hot day. It’s a small place without a restaurant. What it lacks in food, it makes up for in its staff and it’s wines

Thank Nomansisanisland

Thank you for your feedback! Always love to hear from our customers and especially enjoy hearing that you had a great time. Cheers!

Disappointing

Stopped here for a tasting as part of a tour. Wines were poured into 1 glass. The wines were very young and disappointing. The hostess was disinterested, hardly spoke to us; told us the type of wine we were tasting, poured and walked off. No...More

Wine Tasting

A lovely calm environment, sitting around a table with family drinking wine, eating cheese & crackers. The staff leave you to your own devices, popping out to top up glasses & briefly explain wines they're pouring. No great view or location but lovely atmosphere.

Great, small vineyard

It is a good bit off the beaten track, but worth the effort. Lyn was a lovely and knowledgeable host. The wines are great (subjective, but the wall of medals indicates some others think so too), the atmosphere very nice and relaxed.

Small and Off the Beaten Path

Obsidian takes a bit of work to get to. We hiked the Vineyard Walk to get there (with a few missed turns along the way.) The winery isn't much to look at. Really a porch and a quonset hut. But the red wines, especially the...More

ONE OF THE BEST WINERY SERVERS ANYWHERE.
