If you are in the area don’t pass this place by. If you prefer the personal touch and don’t like too many people around this is the place. This was our favourite venue. No food here but we had wine tasting by the owner who entertained while he poured. Very quietly funny he offered a great selection of wines with descriptions of the taste and how it was processed. I don’t drink and the host kindly offered water and we were invited to sit outside and enjoy the peace and quiet whilst we drank. It’s a little spot of paradise and we were all so glad we found it. Highly recommend. The wine must be good too. We left with 4 bottles!
