A favourite with some of our guests. It was rewarded with its first Chef Hat plus regional restaurant
of the year finalist in 2020. Enjoy the complete culinary experience with an emphasis on integrating
flavours, textures and design (a little like MasterChef). Watch out for their lunch & matching wine
packages. One of the attractions of Arimia is that they produce their own pork, trout, eggs, olives,
vegetables and more

For a more upmarket experience with an extensive menu, including a separate vegetarian menu,
coupled with a chic setting and a stunning vista. The Cellar Door is a ‘must experience’ and ‘wow
factor’!! Just be warned there is a considerable mark up on wine prices from cellar door to
restaurant. So rather than order that second bottle, maybe bring one home from the cellar door.
