“Our first visit. Tastings offered were very generous. We had a platter for two. Presentation was exceptional. Really appreciated the care that had gone in to that. Nothing out of a can or bottle - and good bread and plenty of it. And the wine was very good. Wife described it as the perfect lunch. Very good location, would be a great place to bring a visitor without needing to spend a lot of $.”—Gobbler on dineout.co.nz
