Cellar door and Vineyard Kitchen
Welcome to our cellar door and vineyard kitchen where we like to keep things down-to-earth while sharing a taste of Desert Heart and the culture and care that created it through relaxed tastings of our new release and cellared wines and menu of snacks, lunch plates and the famous Desert Heart platter. Sit back and take in the magnificent 360-degree views of the Kawarau River, Mt Difficulty, gold sluicings and the mighty Pisa Range while we take care of you.
