Rain, Rain and more fantastic Rain

What a difference a year makes.  In 2016 after a slow start, we have been inundated with rain and cold.  The type of cold that bites through your clothes and into your skin unless you are sitting in front of a roaring fire with a glass of full bodied red.  How good would that be…

Introducing the Nuriootpa Wine Trail

  Last year, the good folks of the wineries of Nuriootpa gathered for a bite to eat and a glass of wine. It was a great catch-up and lead to the inception of the Nuriootpa Wine Trail. We have been working together since then, to finalise the idea and we are now excited to bring…
