    Highly recommend! The food, service & overall value was outstanding. Admittedly I was expecting the wine tasting experience at the cellar door to be a bit more casual-like, instead its quite “slick”, and feels slightly commercialised. Still, we THOROUGHLY enjoyed the whole experience & would do it again. The food & service at lunch was absolutely exceptional & i cant rate this highly enough. Recommend booking in advance
