Whether enjoying a romantic winters evening in front of our large open fire with classic opera in the background, or enjoying a lazy summers evening dining al fresco watching the sunset over the hills to the west, our dinner degustation style dining experience will always be one to savor.

Our degustation dinners are hosted on Saturday evenings, and bookings are essential. An 8 course degustation dinner graciously moves from one delicious course into the next, offering also every opportunity to sample our range of handcrafted wines.

The menu does change daily, however the overall format remains the same. The 8 Course degustation dinner costs $115 per person, or $190 with the matching wines included. A full wine and drinks list is available also.
