HEAR FROM OUR WINE LOVERS
We visited Crittenden for a wine tasting which exceeded our expectations in every way. Ben was an amazing host and provided so much information on the winery and the wines themselves. Incredible wines and top tier service.

We have been members of the Crittenden Wine Alliance for a few years now and cannot praise the wine or the staff more highly...I would particularly like to mention Ben Lee, the Wine Centre Manager. Ben has been really helpful and his wine knowledge is spot on, he is friendly and always available to assist.

A very educational wine tasting! We thoroughly enjoyed our wine tasting in such a lovely setting. Ben was very knowledgeable - we gained such an appreciation of the different grape varieties and wine styles, their distinct flavour profiles and characteristics in addition to the winemaking techniques.

Awesome Cellar Door experience! We were really glad that the wine specialist really took time with us. In total we spent over two and a half hours enjoying the wines and cheese. Definitely one of the highlights! The wines were also delicious and we took several with us home!

We absolutely loved our wine & cheese pairing. Andrew was very hospitable, easy to talk to, and took the time to explain each wine and cheese. We very much enjoyed the whole experience. Also, all the wines were fantastic - our favourites on the peninsula...Thanks for having us.

Wine and cheese pairing was exceptional. The matchings were perfectly paired. Ben and Andrew who work there are highly knowledgeable and personable. Would recommend the experience and their wines! One of our favourites of the Peninsula.

My family enjoyed a wonderful experience of wine tasting today at Crittenden Wines. We were afforded the private tasting room for our sitting, and as a Wine Alliance member we were spoilt royally. Ben, our host was exceptional and a wonderful ambassador for Crittenden.

We’ve taken interstate and international family and friends to Crittenden a number of times over the years and we always get treated like VIPs... Whether you like Crittenden wines or not is a matter of personal taste and I won’t try and convince you why we love them so much, so this review is just about the venue and the experience. You will not be disappointed.

A very good wine experience with a fantastic range of wines supported by knowledgeable staff who really go out of their way to make the visit special. The wines are excellent with something for everyone.
