Here we will have the opportunity to learn about the fascinating history of this tiny French-inspired town and the significance that it has had in making the area one of the world's leading wine regions.

Families will find it an ideal stop, where children can delight in feeding the animals while parents relax with a glass of wine or explore the sanctuary’s mission and projects. A beautiful farm for the children to interact with the animals and see what farm life is all about.
