Description

This week on Relish with Kate Stevenson

The boozy and the not-so-boozy! Kate chats to Mornington Peninsula winemaker Rollo Crittenden about the best wines for winter but also why you should still be getting down to that stunning part of the state over the colder months.

Also, Yolanda Uys has joined the now very popular throng of distillers making non-alcoholic spirits that are so good, she'll chat about Banks Botanicals. 

All thanks to Diamond Celebrations - Food for all occasions.

We WILL still be doing the Truffle Dinner on Friday 23rd July at Stillwater. Please see here for bookings and more information.

One Hour Out

In wine terms, “Vintage” is the harvest of the year’s grape crop and making it into wine. It’s like the Grand Final for wine producers. All the hard work during the year, nurturing vines and managing the health of the soil and vineyard culminates in a few mad weeks of picking, fermenting, crushing, racking, and all the things that go into making that precious juice....

We loved hosting Mike from One Hour Out over vintage. Spent a lovely morning showing him around and chatting about the things we do here and how we came to arrive at this point, including all things family. Click on the article below to read!
