Beautiful cellar door with friendly staff and sensational restaurant. There are a number of tour and tasting options, as well as dining options, making for a great all around experience. The "discovery menu" lunch was one of the highlights of our entire Margaret River trip. There are also good benefits with the club membership, but you need to spend a bit to achieve it
