Known for its pinot-dominated sparkling wine, this family-owned business has a sideline in producing estate-grown beef; both products can be purchased at the cellar door. Tastings are free.

In 2018, the inaugural 'Art in the Vines' sculpture exhibition was held here. Check the website for details of future arts events.
