Part of me doesn’t want to write this review lest it ruin the experience that is Dandelion Vineyard. But it is an experience, and a lovely one at that.
The Wonder Room is just that - a place of light, calm and joy that transforms you the moment you walk through the door.
The welcome is warm, with genuine smiles greeting you as you enter, take your seat and receive your wine.
The wine is masterful. I’m happy to admit that I’m biased given their lean towards organic and biodynamic principles, but it is truly lovely. The ambience and their service enhance it.
Then there is the food. We almost begged to take home some of their homemade gluten free bread (even the non gluten free folk), it was so pillowy and delectable. The Bulgarian sincerity was not lost, nor the seasonality of what was delivered.
In essence, is this a wanky sounding review? Yes.
Was it a special and defining experience?
Also yes.
Miss it at your peril!
