There is a large free paved public carpark, located in front of C.V.N.E. in the station district. You can park here and walk around all the wineries in the station district. There is also some street parking around the area. Muga actually has it's own carpark just off the main roundabout in front of the building.
The building is right on the vine filled roundabout. There is a huge old train out the front of the building with some lawns but no gardens to speak of
Commercial
The tasting room is modern, with the tasting bench at the back and an atrium like room at the front to allow you to look over the landscaped roundabout. There are display shelves and a large video screen showing shots of the winery and it's facilities

We liked the idea that they offered half pours as part of their tasting program, which allows you to visit more wine shops responsibly
