We love great food and equally we love great wine. This time of year the Barossa is a-buzz with new release wines and the news of the 2011 vintage, coined ‘a great year for Riesling’. It’s time for wine makers to strut their stuff at wine shows and public tastings. And if you’re wanting a sneak-peek at some of these great producers why not allow us to tailor make an exclusive private wine experience for you. Learn more »

Mark and the kitchen team love this time of year; delighting in delicious asparagus, broad beans, cavalo nero, mustard leaves, chervil, parsley and the last of the Jerusalem artichokes. Think house-cured ham or prosciutto tossed with broad beans or asparagus – yum! Learn more »

“Our best venue in a 6 week trip through Australia and New Zealand”
This lovely place has no flaws. Instead, it exudes luxury. Total hedonistic comfort! The website says it all, and it's all true. And be sure to dine one night at Appellation, their 5 star restaurant and one of the best in Australia. TripAdvisor September 2011.

The sounds and sights of new life are here in the Barossa, the newest of buds are bursting on the vines and the landscape is a verdant green and carpets of bright yellow. Regeneration of wild flowers, arum lilies, flowering wild quinces and roadside irises make a gorgeous backdrop by bike or bushwalk. Learn more »
