Meet Pikes, and pull up a chair at their Picnic Club. 🧺🍷

Out in the quiet Polish Hill River, Pikes is a family-owned w**ery known for its Riesling, its b**r and its generous hospitality. This Sunday, they’re showing a different side of the estate.

The Spring Edition of Pikes Picnic Club is an intimate long lunch at a surprise location on the Polish Hill River Estate. Start with a welcome cocktail, then settle in for a shared feast of fresh spring produce, with plenty of Pikes w**e and b**r as the afternoon unfolds.

Lace up and see the Valley from a different angle. 🥾

The Clare Valley is best known for its food and w**e, but it’s also a brilliant place to walk. The Clare Valley Short Walks are six signposted walks, from easy one-hour strolls to four-hour hikes, taking in heritage towns, native bushland and vineyard-covered hills.

Each one follows part of a well-loved trail: the Heysen, the Lavender Federation and the Riesling Trail, plus Spring Gully Conservation Park. They suit everyone from young families to seasoned walkers, and many pass a cellar door or café along the way, so you can reward yourself at the finish. 🍷☕

Meet the makers: Dave and Sophie Whitehead of 🍸

At Sawmill Gin, a tasting is never just a pour. Dave talks you through how the gin is made, and how a change of botanical or mixer shifts what you're tasting. By the end of your flight, you'll know a lot more about gin than when you walked in.

Sophie brings the food side to it. She's a chef who came out from England, and among the kitchens behind her is a stint cooking for the Queen Mother. She's modest about it, but the stories are well worth asking for.

"A tasting with Dave is never just a tasting; it's an experience." Alison 'Chook' Meaney, Bukirk Glamping & Luxury Cabins
