This Italian-centric winery within a modern, architecturally designed space with magnificent views offers free tastings of its Italian varietals including prosecco, arneis and sagrantino. Its popular restaurant specialises in family recipes from Sicily and northern Italy, and the modern guesthouse ($185) among the vines is one of the nicest in the region. Try the delicious goat and caramelised onion ravioli.

The kids' menu should keep the young ones happy while Mum and Dad are sampling brilliant Italian flavours.
