Ooh, I love Rosemount wine in the UK, but if anyone can point me in the direction of some better stuff now we are here, please do. Put us down for this, sounds like fun.

Last year the Parri Estate put on quite a bit of childrens entertainment in the form of a bouncy castle, petting pen with a few goats and bunnies etc, and a couple of rides. However, it wasn't free and cost quite a bit to keep the kids on the rides all afternoon. The band was excellent too - The Hairy Lemons.

 

I think that the Sunday is busier and gets more adult orientated towards the evening with one or two wineries getting quite rowdy;)

 

Take cash for the food as they didn't take cards and are operated seperate;y from the bar - we ended up with a portion of chips between us as had spent all the cash on the kids rides!!

 

A great day out though - we will be going back again this year

Boo hoo boo hoo, Jon is going to Perth that weekend so I'm going to be home alone. Don't think it is cool to go to the Sea & Vines on my own somehow! So I have persuaded hubby to take me around the McLaren Vale wineries this weekend to make up for it.
