    Great wine.
    Obviously great views of the vineyards, the tasting area so clean and neat . We were greeted warmly by Lorina . We then tasted some amazing wines while we were given a history of the winery and the different blends. We had a few laughs along the way and had an enjoyable experience. We bought wine and it was no problem for them to deliver back to Victoria. The wine arrived promptly.
    Thank you so much for taking the time to write this incredible review Chockycb! So happy to hear that you a great experience with Lorina - it's made our week. Cheers, and we look forward to hosting you again! 🍷

    Fabulous Joseph Experience
    We did the Joseph Experience with Lynley at Primo Estate. The service was so professional ,informative and fun. The wines were divine and we would highly recommend to friends to visit and ask for Lynley if she is working . Her knowledge on all things Joseph was just fabulous and made our day! Top notch !! 10/10
    Thank you so much for visiting! So happy to hear you enjoyed tasting the wines with Lynley, cheers! 🍷

    AMAZING! ESPECIALLY LORINA!!!
    We are huge fans of Primo Estate! Yesterday we had the most wonderful tasting experience of our entire lives with Lorina! She is so knowledgeable, professional, kind, sincere and lovely! She made our tasting incredibly special and treated us like family. She took the time to explain the nuances of the wine and properties the grapes came from in incredible detail that brought our experience to life. We will always cherish our visit, the remarkable quality of their wines, and our time with Lorina! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
    Thank you so much for visiting. So awesome to hear you had a wonderful tasting with Lorina. Cheers! 🍷

    Beautiful winery and amazing staff!!!
    This place is wonderful in every way. Not only is it a beautiful property, but Lorina made our experience truly memorable. She took care of us as if we were family, spending time explaining all of the wines to us with joy and enthusiasm. The “first run” olive oil is truly extraordinary. And each wine was better than the last. This is a gem in McLaren Vale and I would return to the area simply for this winery. Our favorite place of the trip!
    Thank you so much for taking the time to write these wonderful words. So awesome to hear we were one of your favourite stops. Cheers! 🍷

We were welcomed warmly despite only half an hour till closing. Our hostess was charming, helpful, and informative and although we were aware of the time constraints, she didn’t rush us. We were keen to try this Italian influenced wine and we were not disappointed. We came away with a box of wine that we discovered could be conveniently posted to our home state without cost. We loved hearing about the wine making family’s personal involvement in the wine and the premises. The personal touch is certainly evident in the whole enterprise including the way we were treated. Our purchases included the delicious olive oil and a wine that the winemaker produces from Italy in the Veneto area where he visits annually. The building itself is architecturally interesting. Do visit! Well worthwhile.

Such an amazing time at Primo! We arrived here for our last stop of the day, and instantly had the most amazing service from Lorena. We enjoyed the wine tastings, as well as the delicious bread with olive oil and cheese! We bought a bottle of the Moda Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot to drink at the beautiful grounds before leaving. Thanks so much Primo Estate, and Lorena!

What a fantastic experience. We’ve visited a few wineries in McLaren Vale and the best for quality and hospitality was Primo Estate. Wonderful host Mark, amazing wines, fantastic views and pleasing value. A must do on SA!

At Primo they know how to turn wine tasting into a true experience - aptly named ‘the Joseph experience’, after their signature range. The selection of wines on offer is generous, beautifully and informatively presented. We were set up at our own table with crusty fresh bread, olive oil and hard cheese to enhance the experience. There is a charge for the tasting but that is deducted from any purchases made. The wines are all top quality and the staff are friendly, very knowledgeable and 100% committed to their products. A wonderful way to enjoy the riches of Mclaren Vale.

First visit to their new cellar door. WOW. What an amazing building. The wines and recommendations we received from the cellar door manager lived up to the expectation, given what I had heard on the grape vine about Primo's new cellar door.

Came here due to it's top rating and it didn't disappoint at all. Amazing quality wines in an architectural building. Included bread and their own olive oil was a nice touch.
