Never headed that far down Mount View before but worth it. One of the best views in the Valley, especially after the rains and how green everything is at the moment.
Our cellar door tasting was very good, the guy knowledgeable about their wines, all good quality. We'll certainly come back here again next time.

We visited Carillion wines as part of our wine tour and it was by far our highlight. We received a beautiful tasting experience by Matt, who both indulged and entertained us. We walked away with a lovely selection of wines. Thanks Carillion Wines 👍

This winery has an outstanding view, as well as outstanding staff and wines. We booked a tasting and sat at the outdoor table and the experience was 5 star. we felt that our tasting was more like a fine dining experience. Melissa went above and beyond to ensure our experience was unforgettable. I highly recommend a tasting here.

Amazing view and amazing wine. Staff were extremely friendly and explained all their wine with passion and honesty.
Thanks for a great afternoon. Will be going back.
Bonus...... they are dog friendly and looked after our pooch just as much as they looked after us.

Amazing views, outstanding wines! Absolutely love this cellar door. A fabulous tasting experience and some really good wines to take home. If you have the time book lunch at Bistro Molines and then have a tasting or vice versa. Thank you Dave at Briar for sending us here after our thoroughly enjoyable tasting with you at Briar.

Stopped in for wine tasting on a Thursday in June, only 4 other customers there (all in one party) totally ignored by the male staff member at wine tasting, would recommend he is schooled in customer service.

Matt and Melissa have the most wonderful wine in the Hunter Valley. My sister, Pam, and I had a terrific time tasting some wine varieties that we were discovering for the first time.
The sparkling white (which is kind of pink) is delicious. Everything has a wonderful mouth feel and watching the view is a totally magic experience. A must do visit.

We have a dinner coming up for our business featuring Carillon Wines at Tallavera & needed to try & choose the wines to show. We were greeted by Melissa who set us up at the table w’ glasses & a beautiful cheese platter & then poured the Blanc de Blanc & Methode Traditonale, oh my it was delicious! We looked at the Semillon Vermentino Verduzzo Chardonnay then the reds starting w’ the Shiraz Pinot which was stunning followed by Sagrantino Bordeaux blend & Shiraz finishing w’ the Liqueur Verdelho & Tawny Liqueur. Such a wonderful lineup of wines & Melissa was the most informative hostess. Definitely worth a visit when next in the Valley
