There are just a couple of car parks but the cellar door is situated on a rural property so you could park on the grass if need be
The cellar door is actually in the winemakers very nice house, surrounded by beautifully landscaped gardens that are extremely nice to look out on from the cellar door
Boutique
To get to the cellar door you walk in the house front door and through the lounge room to the solarium at the back of the house where the tasting table is situated. It's very light, bright and looks out to the rear yard
