    Went here for a private tour for a group of 8. Fantastic way to spend a couple of hours. James gave us a very informative tour, answering all our questions. We then tasted 3 wines that were (in our opinion) of a really high quality. Great way to support a small vineyard and there is a shop on site. We did all purchase a few bottles but there was absolutely no onligation
