Their range also includes Chardonnay, Sparkling Rosé, Sparkling Chardonnay, Nouveau Shiraz, Sweet Semillon, and a fortified Verdelho in development.

The estate offers various tasting experiences ranging from $15 to $55, along with food options like charcuterie boards, cheese platters, and seasonal offerings, all complemented by family-friendly activities and the charming resident dog Harvey.

For those wanting to extend their visit, Bonvilla offers a luxury five-bedroom villa rated 9.8 by guests, with four additional villas scheduled for completion by year's end.
