The Grove Distillery & Brewery

We were excited to taste here after a day of wineries and were abruptly told we would be unable to as we hadn’t made a booking but they were happy to take orders for drinks (and cocktails that would be much more labour intensive) we explained that as we weren’t on a tour (just a group of friend who had hired a private driver) that were weren’t aware we had to book - we understood we wouldnt be unable to taste and were still keen to sample their product however the constant slew of insults, backhanded comments and dismissiveness of the owner led us to walk out without purchasing. I’m sure the owner thought he was being “funny” however he was down right rude, obnoxious and offensive. We actively encourage anyone to avoid this establishment.
