Review Hawkes Ridge Wine Estate - Hastings

What a lovely location. Our Grabone wine tasting and platter, was way more than we expected. Bob, the owner, did the wine tasting. Tasty wines, with much passing of knowledge, great! The platter was colourful, varied and very tasty. Highly recommend the experience and will definitely visit again. Thanks Bob.

I got a gift voucher for a food and wine experience on my birthday and it was absolutely the best gift, the place and customer service was magnificent. Bod, the owner of the place was talking with us a bit and just make us feel like we are friends, I definitely will go back. Thanks!

Enjoyed a large platter & generous Pizza here while tasting several wines, described & with their history expounded by our informative host Don. A very enjoyable experience Locally produced wines at reasonable prices are available for purchase. Nice protected setting among olive groves with seating in & outside available. Yes, its out of the way, but worth the trip!

Great wine, excellent platters, pizzas are great too. A little off the beaten track, but just means it isn't overrun by tourists. I'd say you get a lot of locals going here. They've always been known for their tempranillo, but these days they're making some other really interesting wines. There's a very good chance the wine maker himself will give you a pour. Never been charged for a tasting here, but I've always gone home with a bottle (or case) or two. They don't produce all their wine on mass, so there are a few here you won't get online. Reasonably priced, with a nice atmosphere amongst the olive trees. We'll be back!

We had a lovely afternoon here with the Ploughmans' platter and a wine tasting. Gorgeous under the shade of the olive trees with a soft breeze on a hot day! Truly delicious wines - we decided on both the viognier and the tempranillo - too tough to choose between them. Also - cool dog. 10/10

A fantastic hidden gem that more people need to know about. Superb wine, fantastic food and even better hosts. Highly recommended!

A top tasting. So generous with tastings and platters. So much knowledge shared. Thanks team for a very pleasant few hours. Delicious wines 🥂 Cheers!

This place is a 5 star with their platter, wines and service. Highly recommended! Took my girl friend to this beautiful winery. Had some wine tasting to start our wonderful afternoon and the wines are seriously good! So we've decided to choose one glass each followed by our superb platter and an extra additional desert wine. What a great place to be if you are looking for a wonderful, quiet, refreshing and relaxing day. The lovely couple were very hospitable with their amazing staff. Thank you for a wonderful afternoon. I'd definitely go back again. We wish you all the best and keep up the good work.

What a wonderful afternoon spent, surrounded by olive trees, an amazing cheese platter with good wine, namely c'est beau rose. A stunning late harvest viognier as dessert. Thank you, what a lovely afternoon.

A great afternoon with lovely wines, platters and hosts Bob and Carolyn looked after us well, giving excellent commentary on the different wines. The Chef did very tasty food platters and pizzas. We left with tummys and palates replete, along with more than a few bottles of wine to enjoy later. Thanks so much!
