Really friendly staff who really made for an enjoyable experience. Guy serving us was very passionate about the wine and when he noticed that we were quite interested in aging our wines he gave us a taste of some much older vintages that had been opened to show us the difference and what we could expect from the ageing

Basic deli and wine related products. There were also some relishes and jams on tasting and available for purchase (the relish was especially delicious!)
They have bocci and soccer set up on the lawns in summer and there is a sandpit with trucks etc to play with. There is also plenty of space to run around
Yes, dogs are welcome except at festivals (they can even play with the winery dog!)
Whilst there isn't a restaurant at the winery, the Pizzini team run a restaurant in the hotel in Whitfield just up the road. We look forward to trying it out on our next visit
