Our steak pairing guide
In a past life, John & Anita raised grass-fed Shorthorn Angus. A particular highlight was achieving 36 South grading, a very local MSA grading certification of quality that recognises years of consistency. If you’re familiar with our region, you’ll know that behind the marketing facade of our local seafood, we’re very much in cattle country. […]

A day in the life of Anita…
On the 2/3 days off a year you get at home, what is your favourite thing to do? I love just tinkering about in my garden. I do spend quite a bit of time in the garden with my mad dahlia obsession. Otherwise I really love mowing my lawns, weeding, and just making my house […]
Dan’s Mulled Wine ft. Wangolina Lagrein
The air is brisk, the dooners are spread around the living room, and fireplace smoke gloriously taints the air. It’s time for Mulled Wine!

But when it comes to the perfect chocolate and wine combination, we promise you can do better than a Cadburys Milk Chocolate Egg, don’t @ us, we said what we said. Keep the Cadburys for the kids and treat yourself to something a little more decadent.
Be Our Valentine
Good ol’ Valentine’s Day, the day of celebrating you and your love, a match made in heaven, two peas in a pod, the salt to your pepper, birds of a feather… You get the gist. We agree, it’s about celebrating the perfect pair but with a slight twist for us… we like to celebrate the perfect wine and food pairing. While most people like to pair wine they tend to go straight for the cheese, right?
Summer Lovin’
Summer – when the Limestone Coast comes to life! It’s a vibe, the locals are out and about enjoying the beaches, the tourists come to visit and we see so many smiling faces around the place. There’s events galore, kids running around covered in icecream and of course for us older kids, fabulous food and wine.
