"We did a day trip to Broke just for this lunch with our furbaby, Rambo.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Everything was perfect—staff, service, food, and atmosphere! The menu is made for sharing, and the Mediterranean-style tapas did not disappoint.
We indulged in:
🥗 Marinated Olives
🧀 Burrata - the best!
🍆 Eggplant Carpaccio - so delightful
🍝 Gnocchi with Lamb Ragout - enjoyable dish
🍞 Flat Bread - had to order
🐟 Kingfish Crudo - superb!
🧄 Garlic Butter
For drinks, we sipped on the 2022 Liberté Non-Alcoholic Sparkling Rosé, and I wrapped it all up with the sweet, rich, gold medal–winning 2007 Fortified Verdelho.
Oh I have to mention their very adorable and friendly house dog, Polar. She is absolutely friendly and chill.
A feast worth the wait (and the 53 hrs fast 😄)!
We are going back again next month 😊"

"They would have received a 5 except for the fact that they made us order using a QR code then b/c it couldn’t handle the load or just was faulty we had to get up and order from the counter - which was all the way at the entrance.
Such a poor way to interface with customers in what is otherwise an amazing architecturally and philosophically organic vineyard.
Well done on the rest of it - food quality, wine quality, bio dynamic - very cool.
If you’re finding it hard to get wait staff, you need to get a collective together and start putting serious pressure on the government to allow more workers into the country. You can’t have an amazing space like this - so well considered, really, and then force people to order as if they’re in McDonald’s."

"Krinklewood was honestly one of the most beautiful places we’ve ever visited. The setting was peaceful, stunning, and so so tranquil. My partner, who’s from Japan, felt so at home there; the calm, the beauty, and the sense of harmony. We had our wedding at Krinklewood, and while the lead-up came with its fair share of stress, the team, especially Sophie, were incredible. They went above and beyond to support us, listen to our needs, and make everything feel personal and cared for. We’re so grateful. Additionally, The property is absolutely stunning—peaceful, beautifully maintained, and surrounded by breathtaking views of the vineyards and countryside. The accommodation was spotless, stylish, and full of thoughtful touches that made us feel instantly at home. If you’re thinking about visiting or hosting an event there, don’t hesitate. You’ll meet some of the kindest people, enjoy amazing wines, and experience a place that’s truly unforgettable."
