Such a gem! Great wine tasting with a selection of reds, whites and rose with cheese board and a lovely host. Could not be more accommodating, especially for our kids who chilled out upstairs in kids corner, with snacks on the house! What an experience! The view is stunning, we've visited in all sorts of weather and always enjoyed ourselves. They are dog-friendly and we love to be able to take our little fellow with us! As for the wine... it never misses! Lovely lovely, beautiful spot, fantastic hosts, best wine I’ve had in the hunter. All the wine is wine you actually really want to drink, amazing. Also they have a really cute dog Tilly. A must visit!
