Fantastic wine tasting experience at Sherrah Wines. The sommelier, Oliver, is very knowledgeable and accomodating of wine novices. We left the cellar door with a better understanding of winemaking and a case of some new bottles to try at home. Vielen Dank Oliver, bis zum nächsten mal!

This was one of the best wine tasting experiences we had in McLaren Vale. Our host Oliver expertly guided us through their range of exceptional red wines, and his knowledge of viticulture on a global basis is impressive. His enthusiasm for their wines is catching and provided us with a very memorable experience.

We chose a Grenache Rose and the charming and very talented Maître d’ and Sommelier Oliver supplemented it with a couple of other perfect choices. Best dining experience for a while.

Oliver is the benchmark you want in any hospitality business. Oliver sets the bar for food and beverage service at a level that makes the outlet stand head and shoulders above the rest. He is tireless in his positive manner and impeccable etiquette in managing staff and dealing with customers alike. I learned many things from Oliver, I am still in awe as to how he eagerly encourages and facilitates people’s personal and business success in the industry.
