Members Save 5% From $60.00 / Kilikanoon Wines - The Revelation - Clare Valley Kilikanoon was founded in 1997 when winemaker and proprietor Kevin Mitchell purchased the property of the same name in the hamlet of Penwortham in South Australia's picturesque Clare Valley. Hailing from a long line of wine grape growers, Kevin now had the opportunity to turn the vision of creating his own wine brand into a reality. Kevin's father Mort Mitchell has been a defining influence, planting and tending to Kilikanoon's Golden Hillside suite of vineyards including the famed Mort's Block, for over 40 years. Kevin's fascination with terroir is a result of years spent playing and eventually working in these vineyards alongside his father. The first Kilikanoon branded wines from the 1997 vintage were four single vineyard wines, each from Kevin and Mort's vineyards. These were the 'Oracle' Shiraz, 'Prodigal' Grenache, 'Blocks Road' Cabernet and 'Mort's Block' Watervale Riesling. Kilikanoon's expansion has been made possible by invaluable partnerships, together with the acquisition of, and access to, outstanding vineyards in the most esteemed grape growing regions in South Australia, including the Barossa Valley and McLaren Vale. From humble beginnings with just 25,000 bottles produced from the first vintage, Kilikanoon has grown significantly, now exporting to over 25 countries. The marque has become one of the leading wine brands in Australia. Kilikanoon has been recognised both in Australia and internationally, receiving high praise from some of the world's most respected wine critics. The 2002 Clare Valley Wine Show chaired by prominent Australian wine writer and judge, Huon Hooke, propelled Kilikanoon into the spotlight, winning 6 of the 7 trophies awarded. Going from strength to strength, the Oracle Shiraz has won 'Best Shiraz' three times at International wine shows, while more recently, James Halliday's Australian Wine Companion named Kilikanoon 'Winery of the Year' in 2013. In 2014, Kevin Mitchell was inducted into the inaugural Clare Valley Hall of Fame as Winemaker of the Year.MORE INFO

From the Archives; Clare is situated 90.1 miles north of Adelaide, and in the early days the journey from the city had to be made by bullock dray. Cobb& Co's and afterwards Hill and Co's coaches carried the mail and passengers. Early in its history, Clare was named as The Garden of the North and well deserves the title. The early settlers, within a few years after their arrival, proved the value of the land by establishing orchards and vineyards, which in later years have been very considerably added to. In the outlying country, farms were established, prolific in their returns. The pastoral properties of Bungaree, Hill River, and Hughes Park, situated within a few miles of the town, soon became known for their splendid breed of sheep.MORE INFO

Members Save 5% From $210.00 / Watervale Hotel - Six Senses Penobscot Farm Tour and Six Course Degustation Dinner The Watervale Hotel is a gorgeous old country pub in the heart of Watervale, Clare Valley, South Australia. Nicola & Warrick took this historic in 2018 and have transformed it into an integrated food and hospitality business from farm to plate…and back again… We are self confessed ‘ethical epicureans’. We are devoted to providing sensual pleasure through the food, wine, ambiance and service in a way that is morally right. Our ethical principles will see us growing as much as we can organically, sourcing from the local region, recycling our waste, and treating our staff like family. At the end of the day the success of our ethical approach will be measured by the pleasurable experience we create. The Watervale Hotel offers surprisingly good, genuine, flavour-some food in a variety of casual and comfortable spaces – front bar, veranda, cocktail lounge, dining rooms, beer garden and even a self contained converted jail. We have a range of single serve tasty snacks, a wide selection of small and larger sharing plates, and sides that complete the meal. Our desserts of the day feature Penobscot Farm produce – seasonal fruit, ice-cream, gelati, semi-freddo. The Watervale Hotel features fresh produce from the organic and bio-dynamic Penobscot Farm one kilometer away as well as other foods of traceable provenance sourced from farmers that both grow outstanding food and share our ethics. We prefer to buy local, but will source more broadly to deliver more flavor and support ethical farmers where-ever they are. Part of this ethical platform is elimination of plastics, and reduction of harm to animals. We have a no waste philosophy that sees us endeavor to use nose to tail, flower and seed, stem and leaf, fruit to root in recipe composition. We aim to utilize all off-cuts and bi-products in animal food, soaps, candles or return to the farm as compost. John Horrocks first made his way through Watervale in 1840 before settling in Penwortham. Watervale was established in 1847 when the ‘Stanley Arms’ Hotel was built. The Stanley Arms had a rough reputation for bare knuckle fights and as a drinking hole for bullock drivers making their way between Burra and Port Wakefield. The Hotel changed its name to the Watervale Hotel in 1866 when the Publican also successfully applied to build a jail on the property under his management. The Hell Hole jail was completed in 1868. Around the turn of the century the Watervale Hotel partially burnt down, a candle was left burning in an open window and caught the curtains. The Hotel was rebuilt on the original foundations around 1910. These days the Hotel offered amazing food and beverages in a range of spaces, dining experiences, cooking classes, farm tours, wine educations. The Hell Hole is one of our private dinning spaces these days. You may get locked in for a 8 course degustation.MORE INFO
