Reviews Summary

"Friendly staff, great wine, delicious dumplings and camping at rear of restaurant. Great to wake up to views over the vineyard. Power & water available but must be self sufficient. Recommend for a few nites stay. Very close to Dubbo zoo."

"We popped into Red Earth for a bit of a wine tasting as I had heard over the years that the wine here was good. When we arrived, the vines looked like they hadn’t been pruned for some time, and the undergrowth was quite dense. I am no vigneron or winemaker but to me, the vines seemed not overly cared for which was disappointing to see the vineyard like that. But we were there to taste wine, not pretend to be viticulturists 😉
We sampled three whites and reds each and they were all older vintages, 2020/2021 with nothing younger. That would explain the vineyards and I’m guessing Covid had something to do with it as well. The wines were “ok” and we bought a bottle each but to be honest, I wouldn’t run back to buy any more.
Unfortunately, we didn’t have time to sit down and try the dumplings but the aroma coming out of the kitchen was nice. Maybe that is what is keeping the Estate afloat as it doesn’t look like they produce any more vintages, it would cost a lot to get it back into shape too.
Anyway, it was a nice break from the city…. just don’t recommend the wines."

"The food is great - we had BBQ pork buns, chicken sticky rice, a selection of dumplings (prawn, chicken and vege) and custard buns and they were all yummy and fresh. Don't be put off by the appearance of the place. We also bought a bottle of 2019 rose which was nice, although it seems they no longer make wine from the vineyard on-site."
