If you’re looking to enjoy the estate’s wine, the menu also has generous antipasti and cheese platters. Breakfast or brunch requires a decadent sweet touch. In that case, there are a dozen choices, from crème caramel, red velvet cake, and sachertorte to baked cheesecake, carrot cupcakes, chocolate mousse cake, and homemade ice cream and sorbet.
