our own vines

One of the true pleasures of staying at Villas & Vines is the ability to purchase wine produced right here on our own vineyard. We work with local wine makers Maxim Wines — please refer to the in-house wine list on arrival. Feel free to have a chat with us about the story behind the wines.
