Rockford is one of the more traditional style cellar doors. Founder/ winemaker Robert O'Callaghan prides himself on using the traditional australian wine making techniques and this traditional approach exudes through the cellar door experience.
The tasting room itself is compact, warm and inviting. The staff are informative and passionate. This is a very popular cellar door and it is usually very busy at a weekend. It's not an easy cellar door to do with lively kids, but its incredible and unique vibe makes it well worth the effort. At certain of the year you can even pick up some regional produce whilst you taste!
There are of vines immediately outside the cellar door which present a beautiful photographic backdrop.
You can also enjoy looking at the machinery which is on display.
I remember particularly enjoyed the Riesling and GMS blend when I last visited so I couldn't resist calling in the cellar door to pick up a couple of bottles when I was next in the area.
