Visit to the vinyard with wine tasting

It takes about 10-15 minutes to walk down to the vinyard, and below is an online map which you can access from any mobile phone. There is a small shop normally open all days from 09 – 12 a.m, and 14 – 19 p.m. Here you can taste some of the wines and buy the ones you like. If you visit the vinyard please notify the shop that you would like to walk around and the estate and have a look. They will normally allow this, but they like to keep track of who is visiting the property at any time. It is well worth the tour – look at the gallery below for images of the beautiful scenery.
