What a fantastic venue for a movie under the stars! Cape Mentelle has a lovely grassed area amongst the trees where we watched the latest James Bond movie - No Time To Die. We enjoyed some pleasant Cape Mentelle wines (2018 Shiraz Cabernet and 2021 Rose - no byo) whilst being enticed by the Little Hand Dumplings food truck. We ordered the pan fried pork dumplings, steamed mushroom dumplings and crumbed chicken vegetable wrap, which were delicious Bean bag hire was available for those who didn't bring picinic rugs or chairs. Warm clothes and blankets are essential as the sun goes down the temperature

Nothing like watching movies under the stars and enjoying a glass of red, highly recommend. You can hire a beanbag for the night and I would bring a blanket for the cooler nights.

I did Behind the scenes tour with my family. Leanne was amazing. She has all the skills and qualities of perfect host. She made this tour memorable. I would definitely recommend this tour to others. I was delighted by the quality of wine and services I received at Cape Mentelle. I will visit it again as well.

A short Cellar Door visit turned into slightly over an hour with a very patient LeAnn who took me through the whole tasting flight. Her enthusiasm for the heritage of the winery and willingness to share was a good start to the experience. She took her time for each wine and provided me detailed information, and a tablet, which I could turn to when she shuttles between guests. No question was too simple or irrelevant for her. The Cape Mentelle quality as well as the professional service makes this visit such a pleasant one. While I was very ably taken care of, my family had a great time walking

Had a wonderful tour + food and wine pairing experience. The pairings were absolutely delightful and the tour was very comprehensive and informative. Sauvignon Blanc is far from my first preference but the 2016 Walcliffe Sauvignon Blanc Semillon is a gorgeous wine that is worth every cent.

Wonderful experience! Leanne was a excellent host with plenty of knowledge about the wines and history of cape mentelle. Suggest the food and wine paring to have the full experience. Will teach you how to pair food and wine!
