Sutton Forest Estate Wines

Amazing winery and loved the owners! Made us feel so at home, an authentic Italian experience - as close as you can get to it outside of Italy! We will be back!! (Their wine is also amazing!)

Amazing experience here with a group of 11 friends and our kids.
The garden is beautiful to sit in, overlooking the vines.
There isn't a huge selection of wines but that's okay, they more than make up for it with their quality. The favourites were the Pinot Grigio and the Forest Red which was superb.
Great service, great nibblies at a very reasonable price. The tasting fee was included and it ended up about $26pp (incl. kids shares) when we split the bill 11 ways - for tasting of 4 wines and a couple of dessert wines, snacks, the sorbet and a couple of bottles between us enjoyed in the garden. We were quoted $15pp for nibblies and tasting which is quite reasonable - without the sorbet & wine bottles.
The cured meat platter was lovely and there were nice dips and crackers too.
The lemoncello sorbet is not to be missed. We grabbed 5 between us to have a taste and everyone thoroughly enjoyed them.
The dessert wines are beautiful - A lovely port and a nice Botrytis dessert wine.
Space for the children to play in the garden and everyone had an absolutely amazing time. We went to two other wineries afterwards but this was everyone's favourite experience. We spent a little over 2 hours here in the garden and thoroughly enjoyed it.
The hosts, Nick and Santina, were just so lovely and made sure we enjoyed our time there. It was no problem to fulfil our requests and they were quite calm about 11 adults and 7 kids.
We recommend x11 (kids too! They loved the sorbet!).

The 81-year-old owner and aunt are like parents. The taste of delicious wine is another pleasure.Italian food that can be eaten together is also excellent. Alcohol made with lemon is by far the best alcohol in the world.

Great home-style Italian restaurant and winery with absolutely lovely owners. Spent lots of time there having lunch and chatting with them. Their pinot noir and shiraz blend is like a nice Italian Chianti. Other wines (pinot grigio and pinot noir) are fantastic as well. Sitting outside in a shade, next to vines and having lunch on a sunny day is like making a trip to Tuscany. Lovely place, lovely people, lovely food and wine.

Side a cute little place run by an elderly Italian couple since 2002, about 6-8 wines on offer, enjoyed and bought their classic forest red (blend of Pinot noir + Sangiovese) $27 and their limoncello $45. The 2021 Chardonnay also very good.

I wish this little place was open more often.
Don't miss the sparkling white. It's an awesome wine. The coffee the bruchetta and atmosphere is certainly good. Enjoy a summrrs day or a cold one under the outdoor fire.

Quite a lovely afternoon to take us back to sitting outside a trattoria in Tuscany, Italy. Lovely music playing, while we sipped wine and ate bruschetta. Playing cards and then drinking Paronis in the sun. Take a little stroll through the vineyard, on a sunny day it’s delightful. Thank you for a lovely experience!

Traditional Italian lunch antipasti with lovely wine to sample. Great space for the kids to run around and see horses chickens and fruit trees. Great hospitality from Nic

The Focaccias are the best. Very friendly owners who always make us feel welcome. A+++

The owners are very lovely and the cellar looks like an old Italian bar from the sixties. We did love the atmosphere and the beautiful Pinot noir. But overall the coffee with the home made crostata ... so yummy!!

Homemade food made by an adorable older Italian couple, what more could you want? We had homemade minestrone soup, the meat and cheese platter and the best tiramisu I have ever tasted. Their wine is enjoyable as well and you can do a tasting. We picked up a few bottles. We really enjoyed chatting with the owners. They provided a high chair for our daughter. We will be stopping here on our way to and from Sydney on weekends for sure.

Stopped here for a light lunch instead of the usual fast food places.
We were pleasantly surprised. This place is a hidden gem. Lovely lovely owners, great service and lovely authentic Italian foods. Nick the owner also gave us a personal wine tasting of his range of red, white and fortified wines while our chacuterie board with warm bruchetta bread was being prepared. Had coffee to go at the end which was lovely also. We will be back for sure and such a pleasant change from the golden arches and crowds there !

Beautiful place and beautiful people. The food is made with high quality ingredients. This a perfect stop if you travel with children. They can run and play freely and get ready for a nap in the car. We are happy of having found this hidden oasis to make a break between canberra and sydney.

Super cute boutique winery - stopped on our way back to Sydney, had the antipasto platter, minestrone soup and wine tasting. One of the best Pinot Grigios I have tried! Nick and Santina were so lovely and we felt like we were being hosted like family in their home. Can't wait to come back :)

Great service and fantastic wine ! Staff is quite friendly and qualified food and drink! Strongly recommend for wine tasting in Southern Highlands. The homemade desert tastes yum too 😋

Must visit Cellar door in Southern Highlands!
We nearly forgot we were at a Cellar Door as Nick took us back to our trips to Italy and enjoyed his suggestion on wine paring with their yummy food made with love! We will be back for the limoncello gelato as they made sure we ate and drank a little too much before we left!

A little - family run - quaint vineyard that is worth the visit and deserve a little more love. My partner, pooch and I came here on a final vineyard stop in and was pleasantly surprised with Nick and his wife. If you love chilled red wines, this is the place to go. Their wine tasting selection is minimal yet offers so much in quality. Only downfall was that we weren't able to try their famous limoncello, because it ran out.

What a beautiful experience we had at Sutton Forest Estate Wines. Nick and Santina were so hospitable! Even though they were busy they took the time to have a chat with us. The service, food and wine were beautiful ❤❤ can't wait to go back again for the focaccia and tiramisu. We bought 6 bottles of wine, absolutely loved the Pinot noir/sangiovese.

Best easy drinking red wines in the Southern Highlands. The Classic Forest Red is fantastic. The family run Italian restaurant makes this an amazing stop on any trip south of Sydney, with the highlight being the fresh Bruschetta - but definitely grab a toasted panini as well!

What a great hidden gem. Delicious home made focaccia and lovely wine. Owners are super welcoming too. Definitely will be back!
