Crawford River Wine Lunch | Saturday 28 June | 12pm
$425.00
Hosted by Chief Winemaker Belinda Thomson
Family owned and operated since 1975, Crawford River is celebrating 50 years in 2025; a testament to the patience and commitment of founders John and Catherine Thomson and now daughter Belinda. The vineyard is located in Henty, far south west Victoria, approx. 50 km inland from the Southern Ocean on land that has been in the family since 1884. Their passion for natural systems means that they manage the vineyard without the use of synthetic fertilizers, pesticides or fungicides. They apply organic compost and mulching of the pruning canes to help maintain soil health, carbon levels and biodiversity and run sheep through the vineyard after vintage and pruning. Crawford River is considered to be one of the foremost producers of Riesling (amongst other excellent wines) by James Halliday. Belinda was nominated in the Young Gun of Wine Awards as well as Gourmet Travellers Winemaker of the Year Awards. Wine front writer Mike Bennie says “pound for pound one of the greatest wines in Australia” on the Original Crawford River Riesling.
Lunch with Chief Winemaker & Viticulturist Belinda Thomson will be special indeed. A rare occasion to hear the history of the property, understand her push to move to organic practices in 2008 and taste some of the best wines in Victoria. Paired with a set chefs menu to compliment the season and Crawford River wines, this lunch is limited to 30 guests.
Stay | An exclusive Cellar Series hotel package inclusive of 2 nights accommodation, breakfast daily and a la carte dinner in the Lake House Restaurant on one night | From $1600
