This "cellar door" is not at the winery but in town sharing the same premises as a bric-a-brac…read moreshop. It is nice bric-a-brac too....but I digress. It was a tedious drive from Sydney today and my first task was to ask for the loo. I was pointed out the door and I walked into a garden with a fountain and tables, chairs & umbrellas. The loo was an outdoor one so I really didn't expect much. It was luxurious. Apart from being clean and having the necessities there were some pretty good pictures on the wall to keep you amused if your stay was going to be an extended one. I digress again. We did come here to try the wines. Our host was very knowledgeable and friendly so the tasting was a bit of a treat. We did find wines we liked; red and white plus a sweetish wine to have with cheese. We met the cellar dog who has been featured in a book about cellar dogs. It hasn't gone to Fluffy's head as she allows anyone to give her a scratch. I'd come back here just to sit on the lounge and have a glass of wine. You could also have a cup of tea.

The gardens are being worked on and look as if accessibility is high up on the list. Plenty of gentle ramps take you along the garden path. Closer to the main gate there is a coffee/tea shop that serves breakfast on the weekend. The wine bottle labels are pretty interesting along with the names for some of the wines. Our host was a young lady who was able to give us lots of information. She was very good. As for the wines, we were able to find ones that we liked too.

If you love cars but have no clue what Bathurst even is, it's a solid 3 star for you. Either way, the fact they got a EV chargers there deserves a minimum of 4 stars straight away!

The short film gives a good background, and there's a large collection of cars and memorabilia to look at.
