Venue & Special Events
You’ll feel as though you have arrived in Tuscany, but in a bush setting. On a hot day the buildings are refreshingly cool. If it is cold, there’s always a welcoming fire. On a fine day there’s the beautiful Mediterranean courtyard, where you can sit and sip a delicious glass of wine, linger over a gourmet platter and listen to the sound of the fountain and birds.
When you come to taste our wines you’ll be treated to an informative and enjoyable experience whether you’re a connoisseur or beginner. Our range includes red, white, sweet and dry as well as sparkling and fortified varieties.
The buildings will inspire you: handmade from recycled timbers, convict mined Grampians sandstone and materials from closer to home such as our own Panton Hill sandstone. There are lots of stories to tell.
Discover the personal touch and real family hospitality… delicious gourmet platters with seasonal produce… classic as well as innovative wines… unique handcrafted jewellery… organic seasonal fruit from our orchard.
Arrangements can be made for food and wine catering, cooking classes, winery tours with barrel tastings, BBQ or picnics. Groups welcome.
