Had a pleasant afternoon at this very unique venue. Great spot to relax on a sunny day. The tapas food was amazing and tasty. A bit on the pricey side but it is a unique experience. The homegrown wine was superb. Could not fault the service apart from the waitress using a cleaning spray on the adjoining table which left us inhaling the odour and we also had to cover our glasses of fine wine as not the ingest the spray. Would highly recommend a visit will guarantee you will leave with one or more bottles of the winery’s fine wine on offer.
Atmosphere and staff: the venue itself holds a lot of charm and personality. Located on a beautiful block of land close to the ocean. The staff are full of charisma and will go above and beyond to give you a great experience. Food: very nice food and wine pairing available. The meals tasted fresh and flavoursome. The duck goes very well with the pomegranate and lentils it’s served on.
We chose to combine wine tasting with lunch at Basalt Wines. We had phoned ahead and booked a table for lunch. The wine tasting took place in the cellar door area. It was unhurried and we tasted 6 wines on the tasting list which I believe pretty well covered their range. We particularly enjoyed the Riesling, Pinot Gris and Pinot Noir. The price of the tasting was offset against our purchases. We had lunch outside next to the vines. It was a lovely setting despite the cool temperatures. The tasting plate menu was very good – it’s no longer surprising to us that remote restaurants in regional Australia can produce outstanding cuisine. We enjoyed 5 plates, all well presented and delicious. I highly recommend this location for a great wine tasting and dining experience.
On the road between Warrnambool and Port Fairy near the volcano at Tower Hill is the most delicious surprise. Tucked neatly down the end of a driveway and surrounded by vineyard, farms and tapering hills you will find the Basalt cafe and wine bar. Housed in what was once a winery shed, this is a surprisingly cosy cafe with a simple but impressive menu.
