We shared two tasting flights each; selected differently and sampled over lunch with two of the famous pies. Service was amiable and efficient. Several Forrest wines already known due to the Adnams connection but great to try some of those not shipped abroad such as a St Laurent - a steal at $20. A worthy stop on the so called golden mile.

The lady was superb that ran the tastings, very helpful and even reccomended other vineyards that we might like. Will be ordering some of the doctors riesling online- delicious!

I've long been a fan of Forrest wines, particularly their rieslings and gewürztraminer. It was a treat to finally visit the cellar door.I love their wine tasting platter idea and even more so that the taster can chose their own wines. At $7, it is very reasonably priced.The grounds are family friendly so perfect when travelling with little ones, but also loads of room for those not keen on kids to have their own space.I liked that you could order a single cheese (or more) - if I was to be very picky, the only issue is that the cheese is served very fridge cold. But, hard to overcome that when punters pick their own cheese.Friendly staff, well priced wines. A great day out.

We had a stop here on our tour of some of the best wineries in the Marlborough region. After a stop here we could easily see why this was on the list of our Tour Guide Chris from Na Clachan Wine Tours. Our wine guide even took us out into the fields to give us a run down of how the vines grow and what makes Forrest so special.

We visited Forrest on the 2nd of January and were immediately impressed by the beautiful grounds & tasting room. The wine was fine, but unfortunately our lasting impression was of the unusual service we received. Our host complained about a number of things, including: her marriage, not being able to take a break and having too many visitors. Needless to say, we didn't feel very welcome.
