Well the time has come to farewell you all.
The winery has been sold and will no longer be.
We have loved what we have done, we have loved what we have achieved. We walk away with my heads held high knowing we created something amazing for the Coffs Coast. We have had some amazing and talented people work for us that have made my dreams come true. Barry & I want to thank each and everyone of them from the bottom of our hearts for their hard work, dedication, professionalism and upmost their support.
We had a 5 year fight with Coffs Council that should never have happened and the health and financial cost was just too high.
Please know that I will miss this forever as I had a huge dream to create an amazing venue for the Orara Valley which I feel we did but was not appreciated by some, which was such a shame as we never wanted to hurt or upset anyone but like in life you can’t always keep everyone happy.
I’m sorry to the Coffs Coast people for not sticking it out for you, both my health was more important and our finances couldn’t take much more after the hard years this industry has had to cop what has taken place.
But as many of you know me I am a fighter. I have a huge heart and only ever wanted what was best for a place I call my home town.
We would like to take a second to thank all my amazing customers and local business owners for all your love and support.
Alison idle Inn, Steph golden Dog as I feel we had it together to put the valley on the map 😘
Barry and I farewell you all and wish you all ever success. You will be all sadly missed as I pack my car and drive out once last time my heart breaks 💔 but now we move on.
We wish the new owners all the best and please be respectful that this is now a private residence.
Love Madonna (aka Maddy) Barry (aka Baz) and Tommy 🐾🍷❤️
