Vidal Cellar

My beloved piano passed down to me from my Grandmother Minnie has found a new home at Vidal Cellars Rutherglen. It will be a piano for the community to sing with.

Vidal Cellars is a heritage listed building being lovingly restored by Jim Kelty and family.

A perfect match for our Piano.
