Book an experience

Private wine experiences 
For a more intimate visit, book a private tasting tailored to your interests. Our team will guide you through a selection of wines, offering insight into our winemaking philosophy and vineyard heritage. 

To find out more about hosting a private event with us, please contact nest@gusbourne.com. 

Casual dining, wines by the bottle or glass and more

For a casual picnic-style lunch, you can book a Vineyard Platter for Two. We serve our platters inside during the cooler months, or on the terrace during the summer. 

If you haven't booked an experience in advance, we'd still love to welcome you. We serve wine by the glass or bottle for walk-in visitors, as well as a small menu of snacks and platters most Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. It's best to give us a quick call ahead of your visit to confirm availability. 

If you have more time to spend with us, we recommend booking one of our experiences, such as our Estate Tour, which comprises a three-course lunch with wine, a guided tasting and a tour.
