What an amazing find, thanks to Decanter magazine's recommendation for excellent wines, dreamy setting and amazing creative top level food. They have an excellent online reservation system with instant confirmation. You can book just a tasting or for lunch or both. There are fab views of the sea by the entrance, and the tasting room and restaurant are beautiful, set amongst the vines. The family and the whole staff team are welcoming, wanting you to have a good experience, and it was. We had the 3 course lunch menu which was fabulous. Excrement quality local ingredients, and really creative food that will remember for a long time. There are wine pairing suggestions which we found went perfectly. We had fish crudo which was amazing, standout, scallops, and prawns for starters with sauvignon blanc, pinot gris and rose respectively, then market fish with reserve chardonnay, and beef with reserve Syrah. Puddings were excellent a well, then we had to have a tasting to check out the other wines, all wonderful. This is a beautiful place to enjoy excellent food and wine, we had a great time here, highly recommended!

Passage Rock is genuinely one of the best vineyard experiences Iβve had. The Sauvignon Blanc and Syrah were both incredible, the bone marrow taco unreal. David the winemaker was super knowledgeable and made the whole visit feel relaxed and personal. Highly recommend.

First time to island, wonderful setting, lovely owners & out of this world food! What a find. Wine was very good. 2021 Cab Sav was lovely with my lamb.

We went for lunch and a wine tasting. The whole experience was outstanding. Lunch was both beautiful to look at and delicious to eat. The service was great, met the family who own and run the business. The wines are great and the view across the vines to the ocean epic. The whole experience is topped off with beautiful art everywhere. Would highly recommend

Visited here for wine tasting, Wines were great, bought 2 bottles (white and red) to have with dinner at home. Could see why they got many awards.

Lovely winery with award winning wines! Johnny was kind enough to open the winery for tasting even though it was closed on Friday. Nothing pretentious, just fantastic wines and friendly service - the Viognier and Magnus are a must taste

We had a great time at Passage Rock today for lunch. My wife has been before for a girls weekend away and brought my daughter and I back after such a wonderful experience she had the first time. I really appreciate not only the great wine and food, but also the very family feel and basis of the winery, and accommodating families and kids who come to visit. Our four year old daughter loved seeing all the roses, grapes, growing right by the entrance, playing with their dog, the trampoline, having a dance on the wedding platform, and was intrigued by the fountains and looking for fish. I'm grateful for all the attention to aesthetics with plant life, architecture, and art. We really enjoyed the lunch and shared the Mediterranean olives, woodfired flat bread, and cured salmon with their pinot gris which we all highly recommend. We were amazed that the owner, David, took the time to come over and say hello and connect as well. Thank you so very much. We're sure to be back and encourage others to come and enjoy this special place they have created.

Came by for wine tasting. Was greeted by whom we assumed was the Owner. Great guy who gave us a great introduction of their wine selection and we tried a variety of their wines. We ended buying a selection of their wines, including the Syrah, Sisters and Sauvignon Blanc.

Fun and detailed tour and discussion by Passage Rock staff. The staff were friendly, cheerful, patient, and passionate about the winery. Loved walking around the facility. The view of the water is stunning. The wine tasting at the end was really nice. Would come back for this tour again soon.
