This winery is next to the Lerida Estate WInery and also had a very small outdoor area to host the Winery Jazz Festival. Because of the inclement weather the night before, the music had been moved in and towards the end of our stay, the doors of the restaurant were opened so we could hear some of the music. The seating inside was quite spacious and open.
Downstairs there was The Cellar where you could sit in a cool and mood-lit atmosphere. The wine tasting was only of a couple of wines but you could buy a bottle of wine and drink it downstairs for half the price of buying a bottle upstairs at the restaurant or for outside.
We brought our own picnic so I'm not sure how good the food was, though it looked quite yummy.
Lake George Winery offered cricket equipment and ordered picnic baskets for the jazz festival but I couldn't really see where one could play cricket.
We managed to have a nice picnic outside at the table provided, and the children were able to wander around near us, and through parts of the winery, so it was a relatively relaxing day. Once again, I think it was more the expectation of having a huge vineyard and area to wander around, picnic and listen to music that disappointed me. For a quick stopover and light snack on your drive down to Sydney or the beaches, it might be worth a visit and a glass of wine.
