This cellar door is soon to undergo a redevelopment and there are currently architects impressions of what the new redeveloped cellar door will look like. We understand it will have more decking and a food area serving pizzas, seafood and cheese platters. Per the cellar door assistant it is expected to be completed later this year which we think will really take advantage of the fantastic views and make the cellar door a real destination. We look forward to visiting again after the redevelopment
