There's a lot going on at this place - wine tastings, winery tours, cheese shop, restaurant, gift shop, bike hire etc..and it is absolutely overrun with tour groups who seem to get priority.
Staff did their best to cope with the crush, and when we were finally seen to, they were friendly and knowledgable, but that was only after we were twice passed on to another staff member, as each person serving us apologised and told us they'd just been asked to look after a tour group.
Wines are good, but pricey, and the wine tasting fee is easily the most expensive I've seen anywhere.
Maybe early in the morning or late in the afternoon you might get a better experience, but for us the crowd, the noise and the hefty fees undermined the experience and reminded us to stick with the smaller family wineries, and avoid those on the tour bus schedules.
