Most of the wines Kirigin makes are varietals from grapes bought elsewhere in the valley. They make two or three estate wines with grapes from the vineyards which surround the old homestead and winery.
There is a cricket pitch on the winery grounds; cricket matches are played on summer weekends. There is also a dog friendly field for guest's dogs.
