Wines of your choice, along with other beverages, will be available for purchase at the cellar door.

A delicious buffet dinner, prepared bySouthern Downs Catering, will be served in a relaxed setting. Choose to dine in the cellar door, on the terrace, or around the fire, wherever you feel most comfortable.
