The Verdict
To "Cellarbrate": Beautiful chardonnay and pinot noir makes the long drive down the driveway well worth it To "Wine about": Lack of heating in the cellar door room made it a bit chilly! How many bottles did we buy: 7 Suitable for: Couples, Small Groups, Wine lovers Visited October 2008, January 2012 and May 2015 (midweek) |

This cellar door is one of the most rustic cellar door experiences we have had and there is no heating or air conditioning so make sure you dress for the season. The menu for the Seafood restaurant on the website looked really delicious but given it wasn't open when we were there we can't include it as part of our review. If you are visiting between November and April it might be worth checking out!
