A Break From The Norm

We've said it before and we'll say it again: There's more to our fabulous wine regions than drop-in tastings at the cellar door. We offer a variety of experiences that allow you to combine your wine tasting journey with an activity that celebrates the unique identity of the winery, its environment or the best of its surrounding region.

These experiences make great presents - the gift of wine tasting, combined with a taste of the unexpected:

RICHARD GUNNER SAUSAGE MAKING, Wirra Wirra Wines

The team at Richard Gunner’s Feast Fine Foods are pretty serious when it comes to meat.

THIS IS YOUR LIFE, Seppeltsfield
