The closest cross road is Green Hills road, continue along Compton park road past ‘Dogue country retreat’ and you will see our gate on the right hand side directly into the vineyard.
Please turn into the gate and park on your right along the external fence, if we are not there to greet you please walk up the hill towards the shed/cellar door.
We are slowly adding food options onto our experiences so if you have not already booked some food please take a look at our pre-booked food options to add to your experience here.
Would you like to do your tour on the back of an army jeep instead of walking around. Book a jeep trip and we will include the jeep for your whole experience sustainability tour. book here.
Remember this tour involves walking around the vineyard so we suggest wearing long pants, boots and bringing a hat and jacket. Our toilets are also about a 200-500m walk out of the vineyard so if possible we suggest going before coming on your tasting with us.
Please help us protect our farm from Biosecurity risk. Our greatest threat is grape phylloxera. This tiny insect pest destroys vines by feeding on their roots. It wiped out vineyards in the US, EU and in Australia, which had to be replanted. Thankfully, phylloxera is currently confined but the insect can live on your boots, tyres etc for months. If you have been on vineyards out side of NSW in the past 2 months please ensure you are wearing different boots or driving a different vehicle or have given them a very good wash before entering out vineyard.
We look forward to teaching you about what we do and why its so sustainable and tasting some of our great food and wine.
