Sitting on 20 acres just outside of Griffith, Piccolo Family Farm features a cellar door, citrus orchard, a small vineyard, market gardens and two acres of established manicured gardens.
The small vineyard features four Italian varietals carefully selected to complement the climate and soil type. Visitors to the Cellar Door can enjoy tastings of the farm's wine range, 'Lilias', where the Piccolo family guides guests through the processes and stories of the farm. Tastings can be paired with a selection of pickles and preserves from the farm. The Cellar Door also features a pantry of Piccolo Family Farm products for sale.
The citrus orchard produces three varieties of oranges that fruit almost year-round. The market garden includes herbs, fruits and vegetables. The farm uses sustainable farming practices, with all the produce harvested by hand and free of chemicals and pesticides. It directly supplies the family’s restaurant, Limone Dining, located on the main street of Griffith.
Scattered across the farm are interesting buildings, installations using recycled materials, heritage farm equipment, and industrial pieces, such as weir gates, reflecting the region's agricultural heritage and vintage vehicles. It is a magical place of curiosities brought to life by Peter Piccolo’s story-telling.
