Unwind

The best place to chill at ridgemill estate is on your personal cabin deck or if you prefer to be more social, head up to the village green or the deck of the cellar door overlooking one of the estate’s dams.

Spend sunset with the owners! Too often there is the opportunity to enjoy a drink with Martin and Michelle on the deck of our cellar door.

The vineyard is at your doorstep – go out and explore. You are free to wander and enjoy a peaceful break amongst the vines. Take a glass of wine with you; have a picnic; or just enjoy the scenery.

Grab your breakfast basket and have it outdoors at ‘Breakfast at Little Rocks’ – or grab a cheese platter and take in the pleasant feel amongst the ‘Persimmons in the Summer’ orchard – just like a secret garden you can lose yourselves amongst beautiful natural charm.

Feeling fit? Take a journey on one of our bikes (available for you to use complimentary).

Feast in

Pre order a BBQ pack for the evening and cook up a storm at one of our barbecue facilities. There is nothing better than relaxing with a glass of wine in hand under the starry night sky.
