A picturesque spot high on the hillside, where the old building – a wine press, formerly a wine press – stands. Today, despite its listed building status, the wine press can be rented as an event venue.

A classic hike, even if the trail does not always run directly along the lake.

The natural paradise may be small - encroached upon by agricultural land claims - but it is still very beautiful! Natural river banks, small woods and lots of birds.
