I know that wine tasting is very personal. I am a frequent visitor to the region and usually come to stock up my wine supplies and by 4 or 5 dozen bottle of wine or more twice a year. Unfortunately the wine tasting experience here is not wonderful mainly due to the tastings not being done by the wine maker which is common in many other wineries. However, the facilities here are very good the food is good and the cafe/restaurant is a good place to recharge. For mine the wines are middle of the road but as I say wine is subjective and revolves around personal taste. I did not leave with a dozen but did buy a couple of bottles of the Verdelho.
We booked for lunch for 8 guests and was welcomed by friendly staff that liked a good joke. Enjoyed our meal. Was a little disappointed at wine tasting. He didn't seem to be well organised. Only one gentleman serving tastings and a couple of the...wines were not available as they were not cold. Not keeping up with stock in the fridge. For a long weekend this would be essential as there were many people going through the cellar doors while we were there.
On a recent visit to the Granite Belt we dropped in to Jester Hill with no great expectations and were quite delighted with warmth of our welcome, the friendly tasting experience and the quality of their wines. We didn't stay for lunch but it is quite a nice setting and next time we will stay for a feed with our tasting. It is well worth adding this winery to your list of those to visit.
I have been visiting the Granite belt wineries twice a year now for the last 5 years and usually buy several dozen wines or more per trip. However, this is not one of the best. The facilities are great, the cafe has good food but the tasting experience is average and that is not a comment on the wines. Wine taste is subjective but to me there are better in the region.

Nice setting, wines were quite OK without being outstanding, some more obscure varietals available which is great to see.We ate in the restaurant - venison pie was home made and really good, also a good solid chicken burger was devoured by my partner. Good meal.Also worth a visit if in the area.
Had a beautiful lunch here while on a winery tour. Lovely setting. Views to vineyards. Big dogs welcome you. Great statue in vineyard. Love their Summer Roussane white wine. Had to go back again to get another 6 bottles at Easter.
We have been here on a number of occasions and each time the meals have been excellent. Wonderful friendly service and a bottle of good wine, what more does one want. We shall be back
Nice wines, lovely young girl with lots of wine knowledge. Good wine tasting. Not overly cheap wines but good quality.

We went here as part of a Christmas party wine tour and it was one of the best in the area. I usually stock up here.
Jester Hill Wines have some usual grape varieties that are worth trying if you like sampling different wines.
