Cromwell’s River Rock Estate is a boutique vineyard, winery and cellar door with luxury vineyard accommodation and Hot Pools complex. The 1.3 hectare vineyard was first planted in 2004 and produces Pinot Gris, Chardonnay-style Pinot Gris, Two Together, Pinot Noir, Zesty Pinot Noir, Naked Pinot, Rose and Sauvignon Blanc wines and is also home to Tommy Cooper Port and now has available olive oil from its own small olive grove and Coops Honey from the family hives. The cellar door is housed in a picturesque barn which offers tastings, sales and merchandise. It is open daily from 11am – 5pm. Accommodation at River Rock Estate offers Vineyard Ensuite rooms which cater for two adults and a cottage designed for four adults. There are two powered sites for fully self-contained camper vans. Also available is the new ‘adults only’ Hot Pools complex comprising of a private Hot Tub/Spa and inground plunge pool/swim spa, both housed in unique grain silo buildings. The Stables style Bath House has two separate baths which can accommodate two persons each. Also, a large outdoor hot tub suitable for up to six adults set amongst a rocky setting. Hot pools have mountain and vineyard views.
We look forward to meeting and hosting all our guests.
