We are a small vineyard, winery and cellar door set on 45 acres of land. It's mostly pasture with 7 acres of vineyard. Guests are welcome to park during the week in the cellar door carpark. Being self contained is essential. Our toilets are only accessible when the cellar door is open. On weekends guests are welcome to come for a light lunch of tapas on Friday and Monday or for lunch on Saturday or Sunday, and then stay overnight, so they can enjoy a few drinks without worrying about driving home!The carpark is situated out the front of our zero net carbon eco cellar door. Guests are welcome to use the tables and chairs on the South side of the cellar door, when we aren't open with their own food and drinks. During open hours you are also welcome! But you'll need to purchase your food and drinks from the cellar door. There are beautiful views from the outdoor area overlooking the upper Onkaparinga Valley. You'll see cows grazing, pastures, vineyards, bush blocks and our neighbour's glasshouse who grows organic veggies and herbs for our kitchen. It's a bucolic scene showcasing the relatively small farmholdings in the area. Depending on the time of year, hay maybe being cut, vines coming into bud, fruit picking, the leaves turning golden and then the solemn but restful sleep of the countryside over winter. Over winter we have a blazing fire in the cellar door when we are open and often have a fire pit going outside.
