Food & Wine
Food & Wine
Clouds is famous for its "Pink" Sauvignon Blanc. Its fruity aromas include kiwifruit and gooseberry flavours. The light yellow Sauvignon Blanc, with hints of granadilla, is a real crowd pleaser and the new Bordeaux style Red Blend, is equally enjoyable now but will mature beautifully over the next 5 years.
Clouds serves breakfast, lunch and dinner daily in the relaxed atmosphere of our restaurant and al-fresco when the weather permits it. Our hotel guests enjoy priority for restaurant bookings.
