Come for the chardonnay, pinot noir, pinot gris, merlot and shiraz – best enjoyed al fresco on a warm day or inside by the fire when it's chilly. In a former life, Heifer Station was one of the biggest cattle stations in the state; today there's a small petting farm with alpacas, goats, cows, chickens and sheep, for small and big kids alike.
