Reasonable sized gravel parking area although there is a restaurant on site so may get full around lunch time. Make sure you take note of the entry and exit signs, we missed them!
Modest galvanised iron clad building that blends into the landscape.  Some nice lawns with outdoor chairs that overlook the vineyards
Boutique
The tasting room is a blend of modern wood panelling & polished concrete floors with older rusty corrugated iron and ornate Italian tiles.  An interesting blend that all seems to work!

Great knowledge of the wines and vineyards
The lady who served us was obviously passionate about the wine and really friendly.  She started the tasting by walking us out to the verandah and pointing out the vineyards and outlook, which was a nice way to start.  She even made a quiz out of one of the tastings, which made for a more interactive experience, our second tasting was just as interesting with a focus on vineyards and clones.
