    Do yourself a favour and eat at this winery. Having eaten all over the world, I rate their food as first class; using local ingredients in imaginative flavour combinations. The service was super friendly and attentive and we enjoyed the wines and the stunning views. Couldn't fault it.

    Front of house service excellent, very friendly and right on the ball, very attentive considering he was the only staff on floor and bar as well. Nothing seemed to faze him. Food was delicious, Beef Cheek was amazing,as were the dishes on our table. Great winter get away for a few hours.

    It was quite chilly inside the restaurant. There was a wood fire & split systems operating. It’s a big space to heat.
