MUDBRICK

Not having winemaking or hospitality experience when we began this venture, we have grown our business with one major philosophy uppermost in our minds - we operate from a customer's point of view - and we believe it works. We began the venture at a fairly young age, and with a project that was so long term in its maturity, we believe this has been a substantial advantage to us. We weren't burnt out and approaching retirement age when we began, which has meant that we have been able to harness our resourcefulness and passion to see this through as a long-term project... It has now been over 27 years since we opened the restaurant - 29 years since the first plantings. We have aged - and so has our environment! Our vines are mature, but we still plant new varieties. Our landscaping has matured, but we continue to extend our gardens and potagers every year. The vision of our project was one that would be a lifelong development spanning 30 years and, as we suspected, we have yet to tire..
