  • Striking Container Architecture Overlooking the Vines

    The contemporary complex combines repurposed sea containers and floor-to-ceiling glass to provide light-filled views over the surrounding vines.

    A stunning architectural building of sea containers and glass, overlooking the vines is home to the cellar door and two dining options.

  • Guided Italian Varietal Cellar Door Tastings

    Dedicated wine hosts walk guests through the nuances and regional expressions of distinctive Italian varietals like Nero d'Avola.

    We tasted the Italian wine varietals guided by Chiara. The wines were great, particularly the Nero d’ Avola. Chiara was fantastic. She was both knowledgeable and informative.
