Purple confetti, a table and two chairs…..

October 21, 2019

This has to be one of the most delightful times of the whole year as clouds of mauve fill the landscape.
We are privileged to have several very old Jacarandas forming the canopy in our old garden.
The sprinkling of fallen flowers that form a mauve carpet bring sheer joy to both the eye and the heart.

Bring some simple repast to sit in the shade and enjoy the carpet of purple, along with a bottle of Hill of Promise.
Simple joys, sheer pleasure.

If you’re planning a special trip, give the Little Cellar Rat a quick call – 0408 875 305 or 4126 1311.

Mango & Lemon Sauce – from fruit kissed by the sun!

October 19, 2019

$8 310 g.

Sweet as!

September 29, 2019

Here @ HILL OF PROMISE WINERY & CELLAR DOOR we have LOCAL BRUSHED BOX honey.
With the continuing dry weather the bees have had to work overtime in recent months and each time we drizzle some on cereal, spread it on bread or toast, or use in a wide range of dishes, we THANK these amazing hard workers for this natural sweetener that has stood the test of time.

When you are making your booking, make that a CHEESE PLATTER FOR 2 – $40 as well.

Beauty is all around us.

September 20, 2019

Yes, THE DRY is still with us and in spite of it, Nature calls us to look for a different kind of beauty or maybe just look a little harder to discover her gifts.

Looking for inspiration?

September 15, 2019

Looking for inspiration? Look no further than Nature.
The Chinese Date Plum has put aside its bare winter coat and is sending out green buds of hope and joy. This tree changes daily and what were little hints of green a week ago are now emerging leaves and flower buds. Within a few days there will be sweet little yellow flowers, looking like tiny cups with curled edges. and the bees will be arriving with all their aunts, uncles and cousins twice removed. the tree will be literally a-buzz with activity.

WHAT IS THAT SONG!

September 15, 2019

If you have a Grey Shrike Thrush sharing your garden, then count yourself 0h-so-lucky! Here at Casa Nostra we have a pair and their song is a source of constant delight. The Little Cellar Rat thought she heard a new songster and went down to investigate. No, it was the thrush! Perhaps they are singing their Welcome Spring song. For a specimen that is plain and brown, the song is magnificent. Maybe that is Nature’s way of balancing things out. What do you think?
