Check out our experiences below.
wine tasting off the back of the ute.
Join Adam, Dear Vincent's owner for possibly one of the most unique wine tastings in the country, trying our range of wines off the back of his old Landcruiser ute, perched up on the top of the hill amongst the vines. This sunset experience runs for around 1-1.5 hours and covers off a tasting of the Dear Vincent range of wines along with a few giggles and chat about the vineyard, history and vision for where they're taking the site.
Included in the tasting is small grazing platter for the guests to share. Guests will need to walk a short distance up to the ute, please bring comfortable shoes (and a camera, the sunsets and view are unreal!)
WHERE: Dear Vincent Wines, 64 St Judes Lane, Ballandean
GROUPS: 2-12 people
COST: $55 per person
Long lunch amongst the vines
Sitting out in the sun, eating delicious food made from exclusively locally sourced, and seasonal produce, whilst enjoying a complimentary wine tasting of 6 of our wines (generous pours). Guests will setup on a private table nestled amongst the vines, enjoying epic views back across to the national parks and vineyard.
Lunch just continues to roll throughout the afternoon from small plates, to larger dishes and a little cheese to finish, with wines at every stop. Dietaries can be accommodated with notice, however this is strictly subject to availability and will be based on the menu.
GROUP SIZE: 4-12 people
COST: $125 per person
"Sunset Cinema" with wine tasting
Settle into your own private vineyard cinema as the sun sets over the Dear Vincent vines. We have transformed the back of our old Landcruiser ute into the most comfortable cinema seat you will ever sink into. Think queen mattress, soft pillows, blankets, lanterns and uninterrupted views across the vineyard out to the national park.
A perfect (and unique) date night for a couple (or a couple of couples... remember though the ute tray is not that big!), a girls weekend in the bush, or a family experience where the kids can be entertained whilst the parents embark on a self-guided wine tasting of 6x Dear Vincent Wines over a luxe cheese board and sweet treats.
WHERE: Dear Vincent Wines, 64 St Judes Lane, Ballandean
GROUPS: 2-10 people
