This is one remarkable farm. It is a
beauty! You drive in a tree lined road
and arrive at a beautiful tasting room
with beautiful wine. Their facilities
are classy ( I was even admiring the cottages
they have for their labourers –
they really look after their staff well)
and this must be one of the largest wine
farms around. It goes on for miles and
they have wine and cattle and a very professionally
run flower “factory”. Here
they provide flowers for many retailers,
including good old Woolworths. If you
would like a tour of this flower facility
then please set it up through Tri Active
Management. We viewed the whole process
from where the seeds are planted to how
the flowers are watered and grown and
then cut and prepared on site in a massive
packing house and then stored in cold
rooms. It would delight any girl to see
the numerous roses or carnations –
a sea of colour – take your wife/girlfriend
on Valentines for a fun outing!
For the bike riders out there –
this is the place to go! You pay a small
fee at the gate and you can ride for miles
on the clearly marked tracks. They have
even put wooden ramps over the fences
so you don’t even have to stop to
open a gate. This is a great way to spend
a few hours exercising and riding through
the beautiful vineyards then return to
the wine tasting room to sample their
wines.
