Tim Geddes is, in my humble opinion, one of the best wine makers in the area. The cellar door is newly built and offers a lovely experience. Tim and his wife Amanda are genuinely lovely people, passionate about their wines and love to present their selection to people who also LOVE wines and are interested in broadening their experience. Ask about how the label "Seldom Inn" was coined - it's a lovely family story.
