We are currently a private small event / workshop wine boutique venue ( fully liquor licensed ).
We offer catering and support local restaurants to bring in to the event venue.
We are listed on Air B n B Experiences with fantastic exposure and regular bookings year round.
When you host a workshop we will also list your experience as an option!
