Handpicked Experience Cellar Door reviews
5 Star Review by Lisa L
We popped into Handpicked yesterday after craving for a cheeseboard and some wine. It was the first time we went in after walking past many times seeing people doing wine tasting there. We decided on the Wine Tasting Flights (#1 & #4) with the cheese pairing and they were absolutely delicious! The wines selection was very unique which lead us to tasting a few we wouldn't have normally ordered ourselves. We ordered some crackers and tried out the chilli salumi as well. Overall a great late afternoon adventure with 5 star service.
5 Star Review by Sherry Z
A really nice place with a great environment to taste wine. This is also a great place for a casual online meeting or a small talk between close friends to enjoy the after-work time. I enjoyed my afternoon here with the tasting flight of Four Shades of Wine. This flight is friendly for ladies and also a great choice for wine beginners. And last weekend I attended a workshop which was held by Handpicked Wines and Ding Tai Fung. This was my first time to try traditional Chinese steam food with wines. I have to say it was a great experience. Both of the handpicked wines and Ding Tai Fung food are worth trying.
5 Star Review by Josh Lim
I have a couple of hours free so decided to drop by for wine tasting since this is the only Cellar Door in Sydney who replies my emails. Very beautiful place which puts me in the mood for some serious wine tasting. Was serviced by this petite quiet looking Chinese lady who impressed me with her wine knowledge (WSET level 3!) and excellent service. So sorry I forgot her name. Tasted a lot of wine and it was great to be able to taste 3 different kinds of Riesling and 4 different Pinot Noir from the same producer (but different regions of Australia). Highly recommend!
5 Star Review by Benjamin Baker
Stopped by here on a Sunday afternoon for wine tasting. The person who helped me out was so friendly and helpful in selections and we tailored the tasting based on what how I liked the first 2 samples I tried. If you buy 2 bottles they waive the tasting fee. They also gave flights and charcuterie boards. The tasting room is also near a bunch of restaurants in spice alley... definitely a fun night to spend with someone!
