For Tim and Margaret Coney, what was first envisaged as a gentle descent into middle-aged retirement turned into a thriving bustle of vine tending, winemaking, marketing and and cafe-running, in the time-honoured tradition of manual labour. The Coney’s love of music, the basis for their logo, is celebrated in individual wine names and song on their website.
The Trio Café offers guests a quintessential vineyard experience, with Margaret’s cuisine matched with the award-winning Coney wines as they dine amongst the vines in an elegant courtyard with a vineyard vista. The irrepressible Tim provides informative and amusing tastings.
