During the winter months, we normally retreat from the chilly outsides and gather in the warmer, cozier indoors, and Jordan Wine Estate has the perfect schedule planned for arts and crafts lovers this winter. Learn the art of card-making, charcoal, scrapbooking and watercolour at the hands of guest presenters and artists, rounded off with a delicious meal at Jordan’s restaurant, The Cellar Door.
Jordan Wines are proudly owned and managed by dynamic duo Gary and Kathy Jordan, who have been making world-class wines since 1993 on a farm with a history going back over 300 years. Jordan Wines has the whole package: beautiful views of the surrounding mountains and valleys, award-winning wines, elegant eateries, and also accommodation that will treat you to the nines.
