The Winery is cut into the rock beneath the house. It sits three metres below the garden, at the bottom of twelve steps down from the corridor of the Main House. It is one of the two cellars.

The walls and the floor are the rock the house stands on. The ceiling is timber, and it is not level: it rises toward the window.

Wine was made in this room. Cut into the walls are the niches where the pots were stood — round-bottomed, so each one needed a socket to keep it upright — and the chutes through which grapes were poured in from above.

Both are still there. You can see them from the bed.

Three metres underground, the room has daylight. A high window takes light from the garden.

The window is higher than this room’s ceiling, which is why the floor above rises toward it, and why there is a seat at the top of the rise.
