"Amazing Atmosphere"

Ko G - Tripadvisor 2022

On arrival we enjoyed a very informative wine tasting and happy to report there wasn’t a bad wine in the tastings and many favourites.This was a fun time and the best way to ease into our break complemented by a visit from the owner of this great vineyard and accommodation.

We absolutely loved the resident goats and the friendly farm pets all added to a unique experience.

"Piece of Paradise"

Pip - Tripadvisor 2021

Stayed here for 3 nights and loved it. What a beautiful little winery, staff were awesome, wines superb, lovely atmosphere. We had the added bonus of Ninja the ginger/white cat stay with us when we were in the cabin. Fire instructions was a good idea, my only fault was a heater lacking in the bathroom. It was freezing. I want to come back next year 11/10
