The sugarloaf vineyards are worth a visit, you can sample home grown wines. Children are welcome, our boys used to love playing in the stream that runs through the vineyards. That would keep them happy while we enjoyed lunch 😊

Great mountain to climb, even easier if you take the car to The fox Hunter's carpark and walk along the top. If you stop at The Keeper's car park, it also has a lake
