By the way...
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
