Celebrate The 2010 Federal Election At Vine Dining In Moffatdale On Saturday 21st August Two important things will be happening on Saturday 21st August: the 2010 Federal election and second annual Vine Dining at Moffatdale. So get to the polling booth early and then get to Clovely Estate, Barambah Wines or Bridgeman Downs to see whether the team you voted for won or lost. This year, Vine Dining will be showcasing regional foods and wines. Expert chefs will be preparing delicious, entree-sized main meals and desserts at each of the wineries, all of them matched to each winery's best wines. There'll also be live entertainment at each venue and a free shuttle bus will be running between all the Vine Dining wineries so you can sample what's on offer at each one. Vine Dining will run from 10:00am to 5:00pm and admission is just $10. This entitles you to a Vine Dining wine glass, your first wine of the day and your Shuttle Bus pass. After this, you can buy wines for $5 a glass as you go, or buy a bottle to share amongst friends. Top chefs will be offering different $18 mains and $10 desserts at all three venues between 11:00am and 3:00pm, and the live entertainment will be playing all day as well. Vine Dining is a really great early Spring day out, and you can find out more on the Vine Dining website. Mmmmm.... Grab A New Wood-Fired Pizza At Kingsley Grove This Weekend! With winter chills currently gripping the South Burnett, Kingsley Grove have responded in a timely fashion by opening a brand new wood-fired pizza oven at their Kingaroy cellar door. And if you visit them this Friday, Saturday or Sunday you can be one of the very first to try this guaranteed winter warmer! Kingsley Grove's cellar door is located at 49 Stuart Valley Drive, just a few kilometres south-west of Kingaroy off the Bunya Highway (look for the signs). It's open from 10:00am to 5:00pm on all three days during the winter months and in addition to wood-fired pizzas it also offers snacks and the full range of Kingsley Grove wines and liqueurs. PS: Kingsley Grove's wood-fired pizzas are made to traditional Italian recipes and match perfectly with Sangiovese, the King of Italian wines which the Grove also produce.
