We only stayed for one night and wished we’d booked more. The complimentary wine tasting itself is worth staying for. Hot tub, peton and walks around the vine yards were excellent. The individually named rooms are good and well stocked but you can hear noise from next door

The cottage was roomy and gorgeous. Bed was divine. Kitchenette has basic tools for make a simple meal, although the cafe/bar also offers delicious salads, pizza, and platters. The tasting included in your booking is really wonderful. We enjoyed walking around the vineyards and grounds after everyone left in the evening and seeing the sunset on the hills. We were biking, so it was a convenient starting place to the day.

Clean room and comfortable bed and pillows. Lovely bathroom and easy parking. Fantastic experience at their restaurant as it is evident that customer service is a cornerstone of their brand. Delicious wine and would highly recommend scheduling a reservation while there. Only minor inconvenience was not knowing to book a hot tub reservation in advance as only one person or couple can reserve for an hour. Their complimentary tasting occurs directly before check-in cut off time, but I would recommend pushing it by an hour in case a late guest want to participate.
