The Winery is at the end of a big old Gersoise farmhouse, so not really a barn, but was the old winery and granary. Converted to a high de-luxe standard using as many authentic products from the old farm, the old wine press is still in situe & wine barrels are incorporated into the kitchen area, even the ceiling lights are made from the barrel hoops. Owners live in farmhouse so on site for any queries. The décor is rustic chic downstairs and very comfortable upstairs with many attractive paintings, antique furniture and objet's d'art. The Winery is suitable for off season bookings, with a cosy pellet burner and we accept long weekends out of season . During the summer months we can only accept bookings Sat-Sat. downstairs there is a very cosy pellet burner, and all rooms upstairs have modern electric radiators.
