A view to die for, over the Elgin Valley, with the beautifully designed modern winery in the foreground

Clean, modern lines of Derick Henstra's architecture, natural stone and immaculate lawns with indigenous gardens





The tasting room

The spotless tank cellar, with the cheese platters they were serving for the Gardens weekends
