| Description: | The cellar door is tucked away in a picturesque setting amongst the vines. Vineyard platters featuring produce from our garden and home-baked bread are served on the front verandah. During winter, home made soup is available.
We also offer a wide range of chutneys, relishes, jams and sauces. All produce is hand-made by Lynette on the premises, most from our organic, home-grown produce. Each bottle is then hand-painted to provide a unique product. Great attractions are our gentle Bernese Mountain Dogs, Panda and Misha, who greet visitors to cellar door. They are very loving and will willingly line up for a pat. Our Panda Port is just like it's namesake – warm and cuddly – just the way Port makes you feel! Visitors to our cellar door consistently comment on what an enjoyable experience it is. We look forward to you paying us a visit and sharing a glass of Penna Lane Wine. OPENING TIMES: Thursday – Sunday, and public holidays – 11am - 5pm, or by appointment. |
| Usual offer: | 2 complimentary glasses of wine with every tasting. Lunch also available. 10% discount on wines by the dozen. |

Penna Lane Vineyard Wines
The vineyard is planted at an elevation of approximately 450 metres which provides for a long, slow, ripening period, resulting in intense varietal fruit flavours. Our grapes are invariably among the last in the Clare Valley to be picked.
The vines are virtually dry-grown, receiving only limited supplementary irrigation in the dry years. Trellising consists of a single fruiting wire and moveable foliage wires which enable us to vertically position the shoots for better bunch exposure. The vineyard is extremely labour-intensive: this is in keeping with our philosophy that wine is made in the vineyard.
