The Picker's Hut

The Pickers Hut is nestled within the peace and quiet of our vineyards and set alongside the McLaren Flat creek. Initially built to provide shelter and warmth to pruners in winter and a cool place to relax with morning tea during the warmer picking months, The Pickers Hut is now a place we offer to guests so they too can feel at home amongst the vines.

Features: 

- BBQ, complimentary for guests to use

- indoor fire place (BYO wood)

- peace and quiet, surrounded by local wildlife 

- rustic, long wooden table & seating 

- scenic views, set within the vineyards 

- space for parking (inc disability parking)

If a cancellation is made inside 24 hours prior to booking or if damage is caused to the hut, surrounds or the BBQ, there is a fee of $250 which will be charged to the guests credit card. The Pickers Hut can be booked only during Cellar Door hours (11am - 4.30pm). (The Pickers Hut cannot be booked on Christmas Day, Boxing Day, New Years Day and Good Friday).
