There are a good number of gravel car spaces however this cellar door is also home to a popular restaurant so may get quite full around lunch time
The winery was founded by an Italian family which is reflected in the gardens surrounding the cellar door that have wonderful raised box vegetable gardens and olive trees. There is also a paved vine covered pergola just outside the cellar door that would be lovely on a sunny day
Boutique
The cellar door is lined with cypress pine that were milled from the original trees on the vineyard with terracotta floor tiles and wine barrels around the room
