his long established vineyard and the charming chalet style restaurant that was
once to be his retirement home.
Chefs have come and gone, but this year the food, always of an exemplary standard, has never been better. Sven and Clare Ulrich create city sophisticated dishes from the best regional produce. On our latest visit we marveled at the flavour and texture of a smoked rabbit terrine with mustard fruits and roasted Redbank pheasant on truffle scented potato puree with fresh figs and grapes.
