点评:Avoid unless you’re a classic straight white couple.
This was one of my favourite wineries, & I first began visiting & supporting it back in 2014. The beautiful patio was exceptionally memorable. I was back in the area with friends & we went out of our way to make sure Kew was a stop.
Unfortunately, after the way we were treated, I would not return again. We came here at 3:30 PM on a Saturday that was relatively slow. There were tables available. After giving me the up & down, they turned us away, saying there wasn’t room. I asked if we could get a glass of wine and just enjoy the grounds, to which the hostess responded (in about the rudest tone I’ve ever heard), “We don’t do that here.” My friend asked if we could go into the wine boutique to look around, & we were told we count not enter because they were understaffed. As we were walking away, others were seated (they did not appear to have reservations). We were not intoxicated & there was no legitimate reason to refuse us entry; it was clear we just weren’t the “look” they wanted for their clientele.
One of our group (who loves this winery) assumed the issue may have the number of people in our group (we were a group of 4). So, she came back an hour later, alone, hoping that she could be seated, or at least go into the boutique. She was again turned away because they were “no longer doing tastings” (half an hour before closing). However, when two white couples biked up & inquired, without reservations (she asked them), they were seated with no problems.
Go elsewhere. We went next door to Villa Romana & the owner was more than happy to show us hospitality and kindness.

这是我最喜欢的酒庄之一,我在 2014 年第一次开始参观和支持它。美丽的庭院非常令人难忘。我和朋友回到了该地区,我们竭尽全力确保 Kew 是一个停留点。
不幸的是,在我们受到如此对待之后,我不会再回来了。我们是在一个比较慢的星期六下午3:30来到这里的。有可用的表。在给我打扫后,他们把我们拒之门外,说没有空间。我问我们能不能喝杯酒,然后享受一下场地,女主人回答说(用我听过的最粗鲁的语气),“我们这里不这样做。”我的朋友问我们是否可以进入葡萄酒精品店四处看看,我们被告知我们不算进入,因为他们人手不足。当我们走开时,其他人就座了(他们似乎没有保留)。我们没有喝醉,也没有正当理由拒绝我们进入;很明显,我们只是不是他们想要的客户“外观”。
我们小组中的一个人(喜欢这个酒厂)认为这个问题可能与我们小组中的人数有关(我们是 4 人小组)。所以,她一个小时后回来了,独自一人,希望她能坐下,或者至少能走进精品店。她再次被拒之门外,因为他们“不再进行品酒会”(关门前半小时)。然而,当两对白人夫妇毫无保留地(她问他们)骑自行车过来询问时,他们就座了,没有任何问题。
去别处。我们去了隔壁的罗马纳别墅,主人非常乐意向我们展示热情好客。
