A working wine estate
You will be staying in the heart of an authentic vineyard. The environment is generally very calm and ideal for relaxation, but as in any agricultural estate, you may occasionally come across a tractor, machinery, or vehicles related to vineyard work. This is part of the charm and authenticity of the place.
