The Verdict
To "Cellarbrate": Nice modern cellar door with pretty vineyard outlook, great wines and a fantastic Ginger beer! To "Wine about": As we were there mid-week, not all wines were open for tasting, but we were still able to get a decent sense of the range How many bottles did we buy: 2 and some ginger beer Suitable for: Couples and groups Visited August 2017 (weekday) |

There is some parking here but from what we understand from the team there are often functions at the back of the property, so parking may be a little more challenging at these times
The cellar door is built from granite in a very modern style and is immediately surrounded by nice lawns and a garden of predominantly native plants. There is also some nice outdoor seating that overlooks the vineyard, which would be beautiful in summer
Boutique
The tasting room is light, bright and modern. While it is quite small, we understand that larger groups are set up in the winery or outside at the seating overlooking the vineyard. The tasting room also has a large window that looks down into the winery
