“To say it was the best meal we’ve ever had is no small statement… we’ve travelled and eaten extensively.”

Barry & Ruth joined us from New Zealand and experienced our degustation, and we’re still smiling reading this.

It’s why we do what we do:
• celebrating incredible local produce
• creating something a little unexpected
• sharing the stories, passion and process behind each dish

Thank you for travelling to Watervale and trusting us with such a special part of your trip. Being the highlight of your time in South Australia means the world to us.

We’ll be here when you return 🍷
