What Geogia Clifton doesn't like about Black Barn Bistro:
Lovely atmosphere, but food was hardly edible Whole meal tasted like soy sauce, and the dessert tasted like baking soda. We didn’t finish any of our meals, it was quite disappointing.We had an amazing server, who was still in training, she was doing a perfect job but unfortunately the manager was telling her off constantly. Really brought down our dining experience View all feedback. What User likes about Black Barn Bistro:
not the fast and cheap lunch I had destined, but a fabulous gastronomic experience at all! very tasty eating, very friendly and professional staff and an excellent presentation! so beautiful on a hot summer day! but best to be enjoyed for this special occasion, as it is a bit more on the pricier side.

Beautiful winery and dining, both inside and less formally in the courtyard. Loved there wines and bought a couple of bottles to take home. Nice gift shop, too.

Definitely a must-visit for your tastings in Hawkes Bay. Beautiful location with knowledgeable and friendly staff, and most importantly, very drinkable wine.
