As we knew many of the wines, the host George was super flexible and curated a special tasting experience just for us
As we tasted, he entertained us not just with the history and philosophy but also chatted very knowledgeably about comparisons and differing styles both in Clare, wider South Australia and indeed the world ( we’re from Europe)
He was informative, relaxed, amusing and a great ambassador for Jim Barry Wines - his passion shone through
Really made it a fabulous experience
Thank you George!

We visited the cellar door today and had one of our best wine tasting experiences ever. George was unbelievable, so passionate and engaging, very friendly. Would definitely recommend a stop here to try some incredible wines coupled with an unreal service.

Enjoyed a chilly, leisurely Saturday afternoon at the cellar doo with George who was friendly, informative & generous with his knowledge & tastings :-) The Assyrtiko is unique, but the Clare Valley Cabernet Malbec & Armagh Shiraz were definitely worth tasting. Hand cream in the bathroom was a nice side bonus & don’t forget to smell the roses (literally). Thanks George

After a slow start our host warmed up to the guests, shared fantastic stories and facts about the history, wine making and the special wines.
The wines are very good, the service better and the presentation even better.
Definitely recommended for more than a quick stop.

Whilst a smaller sized cellar door, it did not disappoint with the tasting experience. George was a wealth of knowledge and his pairing recommendations were spot on.
We were fortunate to spend time with Sam and it was amazing to hear first hand from a direct family descendent and hear about the strong future of this family brand and their dedication to the industry.
Thank you again!!

Absolutely amazing experience at this cellar door. Person who was working (sorry I forgot your name) was an absolute legend. Knew all the wines, and was able to talk in detail about seperate vineyards and vintages. As a fellow industry worker, this is how customer service should be done. Bought two cases, and I’ll probably get some more. Visited probably 40-50 cellar doors across McLaren Vale as well as Barossa/Eden/Clare Valley in the last week - definitely the best experience I have had. 100/100

Be aware the place is very elegant but small with no much view or outside sitting. If it is busy is hard because seating is small and service area is small too. besides that the wine is very good and the girls behind the counter very friendly.

Really nice cellar door, the cellar door manager on the day was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the wines and the Clare valley region. Great range of wines to try, particular favourite is the Greek assyrtiko variety.

Don’t buy their wine. These people are rude, or at least one of their reps is. And I am afraid I can’t quite tell the origin of their rudeness. I hope it has nothing to do with me having an accent in my English.

The $10 wine tasting fee was very reasonable and was deducted from purchase of wine. Brilliant wines and a great guide. JB continues to make seriously good wines and they are well priced too. When in the Clare Valley, Jim Barry this is a must!
