Is there accomodation at your winery?
Just 1 km down the road and located on our family's vineyard is the Wine Farmhouse. A spacious and cosy 3-bedroom farmhouse nestled in the middle of our picturesque 40-acre vineyard in the heart of the world-renowned McLaren Vale wine region. Relax with a glass of wine under the pergola, warmed by the fire, as you watch kangaroos hop through the vines at dusk. With views of grapevines from just about every room in the house, space for you to spread out, and inviting outdoor areas for you to use close to the vines, you’ll feel relaxed and at home in no time at all! To take a closer look and book go to the Wine Farmhouse’s AirBnB page.
