Cellar door is re-opening for tastings on the 1st June. So bring your enthusiasm, stories and full wallets and leave Coonawarra with a boot load of wine to be the envy of all your friends!

We have been measuring our building, planning spaces and setting up our website to accept your tasting bookings. This way we can ensure a great tasting experience and tick all of the social distance and space requirements. It actually won’t be that different from your normal Bellwether tasting experience - possibly even better!  We will stagger numbers throughout the afternoon - so go online to book in your tasting HERE

Congratulations and thanks to Nicole Harris, the highest bidder in our charity Art auction during the  ‘virtual Arts festival’ weekend.  A brilliant idea from artist Tracey Murphy to donate a painting from her exhibition to a local charity - acknowledging that Donestic Violence has sadly increased during these more stressful, unsure times. Her $1,000 bid has been donated to the Limestone Coast Domestic Violence service.

Nicole will also receive a case of Bellwether wine and a glamping voucher on their way to her. Once the borders open she can come to visit!

Keep those bookings rolling in, we are almost booked out for the June long weekend. Our campground has just over 2,000m2 per camper. The camp kitchen is amazing and garden is full of healthy herbs, carrots, assorted greens and we have just harvested our pumpkins.  We have heaps of hand sanitiser, space and wine ... we have lots of really good wine!  Book online HERE

We have learnt many things over the last two months, how we could treat the planet better, looking after our neighbours, the value of relationships and slowing down a little.  We have seen that our most loyal customers have generally been here before or met us in person.  This will be harder to do over the next twelve months so we hoped you could help by introducing us to friends you think might like what we stand for - community, supporting the Arts, sustainable healthy living and great wine.

Help us “grow our flock” - Tell your friends about us and ask them to sign-up online to become a friend of Bellwether via the Join our 'FLOCK' link on the bottom of all our website pages

...and mention your name when they register.  

For every friend who registers with us (no financial commitment required)

Susan from Horsham purchased our Self Isolation Survival Plan at the start of covid - she recently contacted us to say it was the single BEST decision she has made this year and loves receiving her regular supply of wine.

If your friends are keen to try some of our wine and order any 6 wines or more - we will give you a $25 voucher to spend on anything you choose, wine, glamping, camping, dining. The more you recruit the more wine you can buy or come and stay with us. There is no limit to the number of vouchers you can accumulate.  For more details click HERE

We have missed you so look forward to seeing you come back. At this stage just our South Australian customers, but down the track if things go well maybe more of you.
