Sip and stroll: wine tasting and trail

Taste 6 family made wines at your own pace, follow the vineyard trail.

Sip & Stroll invites you to slow down and savour the beauty of the vineyard at your own pace. Book yourself a place at the Tasting Room tables for a relaxed wine tasting and vineyard trail at your own pace. You’ll follow the vineyard and nature trail at your leisure then try 6 family made wines accompanied by their tasting notes.

Begin your journey with a peaceful self-guided walk through our vineyard and nature trail, guided by a leaflet that highlights the land, vines, and the many homes for nature that make this landscape thrive. After your stroll, return to the tasting room — or take a seat on the sun-drenched terrace — to enjoy a curated flight of wines, each accompanied by thoughtful tasting notes. Whether you’re here for the fresh air or the fine wine, Sip & Stroll offers a grounded, sensory experience that blends nature and flavour in perfect harmony.
