    Paserene is an absolute gem! I recently did a wine tasting there, and it was an incredible experience. The sommelier, David, was fantastic – insightful, knowledgeable, and passionate about the wines, which made the tasting both educational and enjoyable. The aesthetics of the wine farm are breathtaking, with a perfect blend of elegance and tranquility that sets the tone for a memorable visit. Best believe I’ll be making another turn there soon – Paserene is truly top-tier!

    This is a wine tasting experience not a proper lunch destination. The sides were nice & large portions the staff were lovely but very busy due to all the wine tasting guests . I thought we were going for a relaxing lunch but it was not the case . Beautiful property with a young vibe . Gardens very pretty too !

    Hi Lisa Thank you for your review received. We are sorry if there was a expectation of a restaurant at the farm. We only have a wine tasting facility, and serve the platter style food for our guests who would like to enjoy something while doing their tasting. I am glad to see that you did enjoy the the beautiful view and gardens, and we hope that you will return to our farm when it is not holiday season, as then you might find that it is a bit more relaxed and tranquil. Our apologies if the farm was not what you expected, and we will look at how it was advertised to see if there is any changes we can make to avoid this expectations for any future guests. Thank you for your feedback received.

    I recently enjoyed a wonderful wine tasting at Pasarene Lounge, and it was an experience to remember! The selection of wines was both delicious and thoughtfully curated, making each sip a pleasure. We also indulged in a cheese and sausage board, accompanied by a variety of other tasty dishes. The combination of flavors was fantastic and complemented the wines beautifully. The setting on the terrace overlooking a small lake was simply idyllic, especially with the fantastic weather we had that day. It created a perfect backdrop for a relaxing afternoon. I wholeheartedly recommend this experience to everyone. Whether you're a wine enthusiast or just looking for a lovely outing, the wine tasting at Pasarene Lounge is not to be missed!
