Hear Brian de Lore talk about summer wine, New Year resolutions and lunch with the winners of the Hemingway Christmas competition.

On Sunday we hosted 5 couples and Brian to a degustation lunch. Because we usually only cater to one couple this involved re-arranging a lot of furniture to fit everyone in. It was a fantastic day & if the laughter is anything to go by everyone enjoyed themselves. Special thanks to Opal Charters for providing the luxury transport so that everyone could just relax & enjoy the wines, the food and the company.

January seems to be a great month for celebrating wedding anniversaries. We have 3 lucky couples booked in for some fabulous pampering this month. What a romantic start to 2010. I hope the sunsets are as fantastic as the one tonight. If you are thinking about booking a special celebration this year get in early to secure the date of your choice and remember we can tailor make a package just to suit you.

Have a wonderful 2010.
