The Vineyard
There's no direct route to the Lansdowne Vineyards. No matter how you approach it you will need to tackle some of the most rugged and picturesque parts of the hills. As you get closer to Forreston the landscape opens-up and you are welcomed to a countryside of rolling hills, orchards, and vineyards.

You would be mistaken if you thought it was just another vineyard as you approach it, because it's what lies beneath that makes this vineyard unique! The vineyard has this blue-black cracking clay, (a high iron content clay) and the vineyard is blessed with cold yet frost-free nights.
