Rockford winery is a great little winery with excellent staff. Jenna was fantastic. Very knowledgeable and generous with her time. The wines were nice and we loved the Shiraz VP.
The buildings are old and beautiful.

A little bit cramped and rushed. More use to a lay back style. Good tastings but needed more time to think what we had tasted.

It was worth the wait until a few people left from the tastings. Antonia was very informative about all the wines and had a passion for where she worked. It was a great wee stop with rustic surroundings.

Recommended by a friend to visit, so glad we did. Although we hadn't booked, they managed to fit us in, even though they were busy. Staff were extremely knowledgeable and full of information. They did not rush us and we were able to sample a number of their wines. Standout was their premium sparkling shiraz, don't think I will be able to save until Christmas. Highly recommend.

a chance phone call the previous night had seen a recommendation to visit, so we did.
we hadnt booked and took a chance, they shuffled a few groups around and squeezed us in, it was popular. we worked our way through the range of wines and picked up info on the wines, the winery and history of the area, we then got to watch an old grape de-stemmer in action as the grapes were shoveled in by hand from the back of a lovely old truck.

I do winery tours, we book in advance and this is what is happening in the industry, people assume that can turn up with groups for a free drink and spoils the experience for you, though complaining about it being tight is not a fair comment, it is an old Heritage building, not designed for large groups , so unfair to be negative on a place offering free tastings in a Historic building so you get the feel of this historic gem.

I agree with you. We were a “two person” tour, had reservations, and then a group of maybe 15 folk arrived, and seemed to only want to drink. Think they were an extended family.
I have no answer to what seems to be a problem. Our lovely experience was cut very short.

We have Sparkling Shiraz export contacts that I can ask for you, please email your area post codes for us to calculate the shipping, are you after 6 bottles per order plus freight or more?

Are there any tours available from Adelaide's CBD which include visiting Rockford and having lunch there? There are only two of us so not enough to organise a private tour! Thank you.

Just for future reference, we can do private tours of 1 or more, do not loose the experience by joining others as it can take away the places you like to stay longer, please advise of your last years visit , I like to hear as I am a Wine Tour company (small) 4 vehicles
