Highlights

Outing Highlights

THE POUR

Heifer Station by the glass

This is an outside-the-cellar-door experience: order a glass of Heifer Station wine and settle in for an unhurried outdoor visit rather than a formal tasting.

THE PLATTER

Cheese to lift the afternoon

Pre-order one of the signature cheese platters to elevate the visit and use your refundable booking fee toward food and beverage on the day.

THE FAMILY

Space for kids to roam

Tables are intentionally family-friendly: children can explore the Funny Farm, play in the sandpit and use the on-site games area while adults relax nearby.
