What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
District Wine Village is praised for its innovative concept, bringing together numerous wineries, a brewery, and a distillery in one accessible location. Visitors love the convenience for groups, the delicious food at Ward's Kitchen, and the lively atmosphere with live music and games. However, some find the tasting fees pricey and prefer a more adult-only environment, noting the presence of children and limited non-restaurant seating.
"Great experience but wasn't expecting so many little children there as it's a wine village, loved that it's pet friendly for people but sometimes adults just want to be around adults not babies and toddlers screeching, playing in the fountains and splashing people, I understand in some places children are typically able to go but a wine village to get away might be not the place, just my opinion.
Highly recommend the restaurant, delicious food! Great service from all the staff we interacted with, very knowledgeable.."

"Amazing concept! Would be awesome with a big group of people so you don’t have to Uber between places to do tastings. Love the water misters (essential for the summer heat) and games. I had the best burger I’ve ever had as well from Ward’s 👏🏼"
Ashley McLaren
"The convenience makes sense for groups or those who want to try wineries without a tour. But the entire centre section is restaurant seating only, there's nowhere to sit if you're not paying to eat/drink. And the winery tastings are all on the pricey side. Not a fan, prefer to go to actual wineries."
