Looking to brave the cold and immerse yourself in nature this weekend? We highly recommend exploring Supply River.

For a scenic and historic walk, park your car at Gravelly Beach and take a stroll around Swan Point, along Paper Beach, and through to the Supply River. Along the way, you'll step back into the 19th century, discovering remnants of original colonial establishments once used for bushranging and flour milling. It's the perfect way to blend outdoor adventure with a touch of history 🚶‍♂️🌳

Holm Oak Vineyards' beloved Pinot d’Pig recently passed away after many years in the spotlight at Holm Oak. However what many of you might not know is that he had two trusty sidekicks in his later years, affectionately named Pinot Junior and Mayonnaise by the owners' young sons they are ready to welcome you with wiggly tails when you visit the Cellar Door!

Pinot Junior and Mayonnaise have been part of the Holm Oak family since the team began planning for the succession of Pinot d'Pig. Both are miniature pigs. Initially, the plan was to buy one, but with the owners' two young sons set on finding a companion, the team somehow came home with two.
