The cellar door houses a cafe, bookshop artwork displays. Tastings are offered of local produce including Mt. Stirling olives and oils. These products are also used in the kitchen where all the cafe food is cooked. They cater for both meat eaters and vegetarians and they try to cook gluten and dairy free whenever possible.
Live music is played the first Sunday of the month (AUD5.00 cover charge). The ticketed event is: Granite Belt Blues on New Years Day.
The property is designated Land for Wildlife and you are likely to see Whiptail Wallabies or, if you are very lucky, koalas (four sightings as of July 2010).
