Sunset Cinema and Wine Tasting

Settle into your own private vineyard cinema as the sun sets over the Dear Vincent vineyard.

Think queen mattress, soft pillows, blankets, lights and uninterrupted views across the vineyard out to the national park.

This experience is perfect as a 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 a family experience where the kids can be entertained as the sun goes down whilst the parents embark on a self-guided wine tasting of 6x Dear Vincent Wines over a luxe cheese board.

The package includes access to a couple of streaming services that you can use or of course log into your favourite one and watch away!

$75 pp for the adults, and $25 pp for the kids.

5-Senses Black-Tie

The gourmet 5-Senses Discovery is unique in Queensland. Starting with a Vineyard Walk and Talk, then in the winery, a Sommelier Wine Discussion, and finally, the chef explains the providence of the produce.

Allow four hours to delight your senses with 8-dish silver service experience presented on the second Saturday monthly; 6 pm. In the vineyard, with a glass of champagne, our viticulturist shows the vines in action. Then the tastes of 5-star Wines and chef-hatted dining, the smells of exclusive 54 scent “Nez du Vin”, sights of silent movies, sounds of a live String Quartet Ensemble, and a touch of class.

Celebrate in cooler weather, seated on Queensland’s 1st Parliamentary Table (c1859), by roaring fires. Lift the beautiful crystal lid to see Hickory smoke waft from the gravlax salmon, see burning sauce, with sparkles spraying delicately over the large black plate. Savour wild-caught venison and other delicacies. No wonder this experience is called 5-Senses. Seven dishes with names like ‘Diamonds in the Rough’, ‘Smoked Earth After Rain’, ‘Salted Jump in the Mouth’, ‘Bitter Sweet Geo-space’, ‘Fathom, Falter and Flinch’, ‘Rooted Guerdon’, ‘Gilded Granite’.

Includes entertainment, education, food, and matching wines.

The QSSS is divided up into 3 groups. These are the A, B and C series. There is no ranking for the series as such, but each series will have different categories to enter in them. This means the A, B and C are just the name of the series (could be blue, red, green for example)

The grasses on the Reserve are mostly Native Blue Grass and couch. Koala, nesting Wedgetail Eagles and wallaby are in residence and over 120 species of birds have been identified on the Reserve. Eighty birds are featured in a full-colour book which is available for purchase from Allora Landcare Group. Indigenous artefacts are evident, including ‘ring trees’, ‘scar trees’, bora rings and geological items such as grinding stones and knives.

 

Allora Landcare Group Inc (ALG) has instituted a number of projects on the Reserve over many years.
