Fantastic value for money and service - We live in McLaren Vale and decided to support local using the SA travel voucher. We thoroughly enjoyed wine tasting & snacks with Chloe. She has a pleasant personality and is very knowledgeable with Shottesbrooke wines and their processes. Especially loved the 'Eliza' red. The Currant Shed looked after us at lunch with fantastic meal and service. We thought we were getting a 3 course meal - in fact we had 7 courses as a few courses were complimentary. At the end of lunch, we were 2 'fat buddhas' :) Thank you Shottesbrooke and Currant Shed.

Ultimate Wine & Dine Experience - Chloe hosted us throughout the winery and cellar door experience. Her knowledge, enthusiasm and warmth was a big part of a wonderful day. We continued on to The Current Shed to complete the whole wine/dine experience and as usual they delivered to perfection. A wonderful day - highly recommend the entire experience.

Great wine, great service, great experience! - I couldn't recommend this place enough. If you're a beginner to wine or a seasoned connoisseur they offer the full experience. They have a great range of wines from their estate to their single vineyards. The amazing Michelle who looked after us with Toby giving us an insight to international wines and Mikey who gave us a behind the scenes look at the barrels. Can't wait to come back.
