The salami and prosciutto pizzas were amazing! The Margherita pizza dough was thicker and wasn’t that great. Wines were great as always, the ambiance/view was stunning. Wish the weather wasn’t as cold, as sitting outside would have been better. Maybe heaters for the slightly chilly autumn days? 😅

Everything was great. Only suggestion, there was a large group that was seated in the middle which meant we couldn’t see/hear Joel playing, we felt they would have been better off seated at the end :)

Beautiful setting. Nice and quiet especially during the week. Service was great. I realise that it is a small winery but the food choice was a little light on. The pizzas and platter were great although a little expensive. Would have been fantastic if the dessert was not pizza again. Would go there again.

Lovely green location with views across the grape vines. Great casual dining. Small menu but caters for dietary needs- we had one vegan and one gluten free in our group of six and they enjoyed their pizzas😊 The wine tasting paddles are fabulous.
