Hawkes Ridge Wine Estate

Great wine, excellent platters, pizzas are great too. A little off the beaten track, but just means it isn't overrun by tourists. I'd say you get a lot of locals going here. They've always been known for their tempranillo, but these days they're making some other really interesting wines. There's a very good chance the wine maker himself will give you a pour. Never been charged for a tasting here, but I've always gone home with a bottle (or case) or two. They don't produce all their wine on mass, so there are a few here you won't get online. Reasonably priced, with a nice atmosphere amongst the olive trees. We'll be back!

We had a lovely afternoon here with the Ploughmans' platter and a wine tasting. Gorgeous under the shade of the olive trees with a soft breeze on a hot day! Truly delicious wines we decided on both the viognier and the tempranillo too tough to choose between them. Also cool dog. 10/10

A fantastic hidden gem that more people need to know about. Superb wine, fantastic food and even better hosts. Highly recommended!

A top tasting. So generous with tastings and platters. So much knowledge shared. Thanks team for a very pleasant few hours. Delicious wines

What a wonderful afternoon spent, surrounded by olive trees, an amazing cheese platter with good wine, namely c'est beau rose. A stunning late harvest viognier as dessert. Thank you, what a lovely afternoon.
