What a spot! Easy walk down for a lazy afternoon in the sunshine enjoying a bottle of wine - beer also available - and a delicious cheese platter. Fantastic range of wine to buy and enjoy while you are there, or take home. The team are super helpful and generous with their time if you want some advice.
