Average experience overall, will never recommend people to go here.

Wine was just poured into our glasses with very little said about the wines. And a fee of $20 for 4 wines to try out of a possible 26 wines is wrong.

The service was great despite a growing number of customers after us. The new cellar door did not do it for me with all the sleek sheen. I loved the quaint shed it was in before. The wines are increasingly more expensive and are not good value when compared to the region.

Have heard positive things about Torbreck's shiraz and viognier, but was grossly disappointed with my recent visit to their new (revamped) cellar door. Cannot vouch for the quality of the wine as I was rushed through tastings by impersonal and disengaged staff. Very poor and unfriendly service in comparison to other cellar doors in the region.

One of the best wineries in the Barossa. We stumbled across Torbreck on our honeymoon, and it has been one of my favourite wineries ever since. Their Shiraz is varieties are spectacular!

A little torn about how to rate this place, because the tasting was nice and, indeed, some of the wines are fantastic particularly their higher-end ones, which all cost $125+ per bottle, and incur a $30 tasting fee.

While it was worth it to taste them, I m not sure the pricetags are warranted, and the experience overall felt a bit stuffy and impersonal (but it could just be that the workers were distracted by the worries of an unprecedented heatwave and shifting winds that have led to precarious bushfire conditions)

Beautiful wines, but a disappointing experience. Before we d even tasted our first wine we had been hand-balled between three staff members at the cellar door. It was clear they only had interest in selling & promoting the more high end wines on their list. Every time we asked a question they were dismissive and immediately talked about why a $80-100 bottle was better (even when we were complimenting the wine).
We bought 4 bottles around the $30-50 mark because we liked the wine, but we probably would have bought more had we enjoyed the wine tasting experience.
If management has the cellar door staff on some type of incentive to sell the higher end wines, you should reconsider. It s ruining the experience for the entry level wine buyers.
We left the Barossa with >40 wines. Torbrek could ve had a greater share of that business

Came here on a recommendation from a friend! Had a fantastic tasting experience here with the host! All the wines that we tried were delicious and the atmosphere/surroundings was pleasantly quaint! Fantastic selection and definitely lives up to the renown of Barossa! You will have a fantastic experience with your friends and family!

Nice cellar door and the old vine reds available for tasting are superb. The service was ok, a little impersonal and seemingly disinterested, we were there at 4:45pm so maybe they'd just had a long day. Their wines are excellent but are a bit more expensive compared to Barossa wines of similar quality.
