Ciao Italian Cousins…
We have changed our minds, but thats OK, it’s what Italians do… when they’re not eating! 
We have moved our Scampagnata (Italian Picnic) to 2012.  But, we have 2 other fantastic functions to invite you to for the remainder of this year at the winery in the Barrelroom Café. 
(Note: there is no longer a Scampagnata on the 26^th of November 2011)

You are welcome to join us for the following functions:
November 20^th  2011 Primi Piatti (Italian Yum Cha).  A twist on the traditional yum cha.  Featuring a huge array of savoury and sweet options, from Arancini, meat balls and fried baitfish to Cannoli and biscotti.  Wines available by the glass or bottle at cellar door prices.  Plates start at $4.50.  11am to 3pm.
