The best thing about cooler months is COMFORT FOOD! Those baggy pants and lose jumpers can cover a myriad of bumps and bulges, and there is plenty of time to lose it before Summer – right?!
Nothing says comfort food like a big, fat juicy burger. Saturdays and Sundays from 12 – 4 pm the legends from the south Portburger will be taking over Whistler Wines. Their burgers are amazing!!
Another great comfort food is cheese. Join Turkey Flat Vineyards on 5 July or 19 July at their cellar door for a night of melted cheese, wine and fire, as they recreate the comfort dish from the French/Swiss Alps, Raclette. Raclette is a traditional Swiss dish consisting of cheese melted over a fire and then scraped onto potatoes. Mouth watering!!
Our Winter Warmer Package is also full of comfort food – hot chocolate and marshmallows, hearty soups, comforting sticky date puddings, all accompanied with a nip of port or glass of good Barossa Shiraz. Find out more about this great value package www.stonewellcottages.com.au/specials/winter-warmer-package/
