A jam-packed program of outdoor movies and live music, paired with a mouth-watering seasonal menu, will keep you entertained all summer long.
With balmy nights and warm sunny days now upon us, our sizzling Summer Series returns from 10th December 2022 until the 26th February 2023. This event series will be bigger and better than ever including the return of our popular free Outdoor Cinema, live local music line-up, and a mouth-watering menu of seasonal food and award-winning wines.
We are again transforming our lawns into a day & night Outdoor Cinema and have crafted a program of movies for everyone, including a selection of family-friendly flicks for the kids. This year we are opening up movie suggestions to our visitors via our social media channels, and sport aficionados will be spoilt for choice with the best of summer sport on show, including The Ashes, Big Bash League, Super Bowl, the Australian Open, and the Sydney to Hobart live.
We have re-opened the Fox Creek kitchen for the season and are ready to dish out a menu of seasonal dishes and grazing boards brimming with local produce, ready to be paired with a drink or two from our Garden bar. The full range of Fox Creek Wines will be on offer, along with our own craft beer and Feedback Spirits, Gather Kombucha and cocktails; the perfect accompaniment to quench your thirst on a warm summer’s day or night.
During the day let our team take you through one of our guided wine flights featuring our newly released whites and reds, challenge friends with one of the many giant lawn games, or have the kids take on our treasure hunt.
