Organic and Preservative Free Wine

 
 

 


Canowindra, nestled in the Central Ranges Wine Region of NSW is rapidly developing a reputation as the premium area for organic and preservative free wine. In the heart of this region are two boutique wineries, Toms Waterhole and Gardners Ground.

Australians rarely get to taste these organic and preservative free wines because almost all are snapped up by Japanese and German importers but through our contacts we have been able to persuade the wineries to exhibit and sell their unique range of wines exclusively at our Garden Festival and with a little luck we may also have the winemakers there to answer your questions.

Their wines range from the dry to the luscious, from low alcohol to fortified late harvest and will be available in small quantities for tasting and for sale by the glass. You will also be able to order cases of the wine for home delivery.

 
       
     
       
 

Its Magic!

   
  Griego

 

Griego the Great Magician was so popular last year, we had to ask him back again.

 

With huge black bow tie stretching from shoulder to shoulder, wide ear-to-ear moustache and intriguing black eyepatch, Griego the Great will provide roving entertainment at the Festival. 

 

Griego will delight and bewilder young and old with his fascinating card tricks, adding to the jovial, fun-filled atmosphere of the event.
