The prospect of an occasional shower didn’t dampen the spirits of these ‘good wine and food’ devotees @ Saturday’s SOUTH BURNETT WINE & FOOD IN THE PARK. Some snappy dressing, megawatt smiles and the chance to get-together…. all good reasons to say SALUTÈ, PROST, CHEERS with a flute of HILL OF PROMISE 3 MARYS SPARKLING SEMILLON.
It’s March and that means the SOUTH BURNETT WINE & FOOD IN THE PARK is on again this coming SATURDAY 10TH MARCH 2018.
TERRANZO and THE LITTLE CELLAR RAT are heading down there with our delicious, preservative free and Vegan Friendly wines and fortifieds to join with the SOUTH BURNETT WINE COUSINS to celebrate all that is fantabulous about this rich and diverse region.
Action kicks off at NOON @ MEMORIAL PARK KINGAROY and ‘THAT’S ALL FOLKS!’ sing goes up at 8pm.
Check it out on FACEBOOK. Look out for HILL OF PROMISE WINES in the NAVY BLUE MARQUEE, with PIPING HOT PIZZAS NEXT DOOR.
The welcome rain has filled the tanks, swelled the dams and waved a magic green wand over the district (which by the way looks nothing short of magnificent!) Don’t let the rain and showers put you off coming. The foodies mags such as DELICIOUS AND ITALIANICIOUS will keep you fully occupied inside if a ‘stay-in-your-cave’ day is on the agenda.
The media this week highlighted concerns by VEGANS about the use of fish, egg and milk products in the wine-making process. Yes, all have been and still are used to clarify wine…..HOWEVER….. We @ HILL OF PROMISE WINERY use NONE OF THESE in the filtering of our wines. Instead, we use FILTER PAPER AND LOTS OF IT. So VEGETARIANS AND VEGANS can ENJOY our wines, not only for the AMAZING FLAVOUR but also CONFIDENT and with PEACE OF MIND knowing that none of these is used as part of our wine-making process.
Don’t let the heat make ‘what’s for dinner?’ stress you out…. make salads with a difference your ‘go-to’. Just a basic Garden Salad can be lifted with left-over roast sweet potato and carrot strips, capers (always guaranteed to make salads pop) a handful of feta and sprinkle of dukkah. buon appetito!
That’s right she’s back!! NANNA GELSO that is.… our delicious sweet red blend of Cabernet, Shiraz and Merlot. The 2016 version is a cheeky little number with ripe raspberry notes. Oh-so-delicious with summer barbecued meats, a mediterranean platter or whatever imaginative summer dishes you can come up with. Don’t forget that Mango Salsa makes a yummy side-salad for chargrilled red meats and chicken. Selling now from the Cellar Door or by mail order.

We loved the warm ambience that timber creates.
First time I stayed I was on my own but had to bring my partner back to share the experience with me. Tess Sept 2017
Thanks Mary and Terry for providing such a wonderful little retreat. We loved our stay and appreciated all things about the cottage. Penny and Peter Sept 2017
Marvellous Marc the chef worked his magic again using the best of what the region has on offer….fresh figs matched with pan fried haloumi and blue vein, succulent chicken for the cacciatore, oh-so-fresh strawberries to marry with 2-chocolate mousse matched of course with our lovely wines.
Always good to come back here. Always warm and welcoming. G and P North Queensland June 2017
