Four Ultimate Wineries were awarded with hats in the Good Food Guide 2020.  The awards have always been based on quality of food, service and overall experience and now, of increasing importance, is a restaurant's ability to enrich a community by working closely with local producers while also working towards securing a sustainable food future.

For a memorable food and wine experience, here are some foodie Ultimate Winery Experiences at our hatted restaurants for 2020.
