A delightful family meal in the open overlooking the vineyard and on a sunny day . The "let us serve you" option was chosen and we enjoyed the variety of plates that came through at suitable times. The wine (a white wine blend from the vineyards offerings) was excellent. Sitting outside enabled us to enjoy the ambience of the vineyard and the whole experience.

Lovely spot. We booked for a group and had a couple of extras join at the last minute, and the team was really accommodating, considering they were so busy. The food was lovely, the atmosphere and view as awesome, and the wine was excellent!
