Superb degustation dinner

5.00We had the deguststion dinner on 18 July and it was superb. The chef had been Michelin trained and the food was world class, paying homage to local ingredients and being super mindful of carbon footprint. Each dish was wonderful and the maître d’ Alessandro was highly knowledgeable and friendly. Well done Printhie for adding such a wonderful experience to the Orange foodie scene!
Best Experience we have ever had.

5.00From the moment we turned up to the moment we left the Masterclass Experience was amazing. The staff were lovely and very helpful. David Swift, owner of Swift wines gave us our masterclass and we learned a lot about Sparkling Wine and the process. The 5 course degustation was something to remember. Ella our server was obsoletely amazing. Very knowledgeable and attentive. She made our experience so enjoyable. Onto the the food. Why Printhie Vineyard is not a Hat restaurant I am amazed. Right from the first bite to all the little surprises we had in-between the course was so tasty. I cannot fault the day. It is one of the most fantastic experiences we have ever had. We have already booked accommodation for next year so we can share the experience with our two boys. I will be telling everyone I know just how great the day was. Thankyou to David, Ella and the chefs. Words do not explain how fantastic a day we had.
A truly premium experience

5.00A truly five star experience. The masterclass with Dave was fascinating and personal (thanks for answering our many, many questions, Dave). We really enjoyed the high quality sparkling wine. The meal was top notch as well. Each dish was interesting and flavourful and the service was impeccable. I've been to all of Sydney's top restaurants, and this was at least on par in terms of both food and service. Very happy.
